It's getting to be a big pain to even install games off DVDs, because there's so much data being copied it takes 20 minutes! And I can't imagine what it must be like to download 14 gigs over a DSL connection.
Not gonna happen except in indie games with stylized assets or the occasional procedurally created game.

Today's video game developers need to take inspiration from the Darius series, and put more giant mechanical space-fish in newer titles. We don't see enough of them. The gaming world needs more. They need to shoot lasers, have flamethrowers, and be colored fabulously.

And how fun is it to take down the giant-fish bosses section by section?

I'm with you on this. I've had a shmup in my head for years. I have no idea how to make a game. But if my game ever gets made, I promise it will have robofish.

I copy my GoG games to CD-Rs. Can't do that with most games though, due to DRM.

I bought Tekken for the WiiU. I haven't played a Tekken game in a long, long time.
