Hey @Tea, any chance you can organise a copy of Silent Hill Origins for me? Doesn't matter which platform

@IkariX it's a good thing IDGAF about your opinion then, lol
It may surprise you to know that other people have different experiences to your own. But I know that concept may be too far out of reach for you.

As for Nexus, I don't know why you ban people that have legitimate points relating to polls you create. None of what I said was out of line, but clearly you prefer sycophants like IkariX on the forum instead of customers who have legitimate criticism of your logistics (which you make us pay for).

Nexushub has the best customer service no doubt. I have had other retailers that don't care about restocking on sold out titles but yet nexushub helped get me townfall steelbooks and control resonant steelbooks even though they were sold out. No one cares about delivery fees as long as you get the physical game in good condition like I have, especially steelbooks which can be fragile.

@DarkWingDuck

I'm going to call [censored] on your post. I've been buying from Nexus since the AnimeWorx days from about 2008. I have literally never ever had bad customer service from NexusHub. So you are being disingenuous. I don't think you appreciate the great lengths they go to, to get these games for us. But enjoy your other retailers and their[censored] service.

MrOde very good point! I'd pay extra for express overnight shipping.

HaseoVII SAME regarding FF7Rebirth (best believe I preordered Revelation though )

I am such a huge fan of Nexus Hub - no one else in SA imports the niche titles - I used to need to get my stuff from Amazon Japan/US

My backlog is so big I don't care how late I get my orders lol haven't even played FF7 Rebirth or even Stellar Blade yet, but that's just me.

I'd actually go even further and say do standard free shipping for all orders above R1000 but allow an express shipping option/add on for those that want to pay extra. I would gladly pay extra to get whatever I ordered the day after I order it.

Shipping costs on games? What's that?

I'm not looking to start a bad thread about this, I was really just curious because I misclicked the tab on the left and stumbled upon the poll (I'd never clicked it before).

I am fiercely brand loyal to Nexus Hub and I don't care too much about not getting a game day-1. I know other names like BT and Koodoo ship earlier so you get it on release, but I'd never be "that" excited that I must play day-1, life happens
On the other hand, paying an extra R150 every time you order a commercially available title does add up, and I would not blame the average consumer for trying to save some money.

I know I'd feel less off about it if there was a price match, and free delivery at a certain threshold.

I mean if I can save money, why wouldn't I?

Are there circumstances where I would pay that extra without thinking twice about it, yes. In general there's little reason to do so.

That said, touching on Darkwing's point of eBucks, payment options feel like a lot bigger point than the R50 delivery. Lot of places offering rewards, pay later, etc. Those are big pull points for customers.

How much would "free delivery for orders over R 1000" affect your decision to more purchases from Nexus Hub?

Ok, I saw this conversation on one of the Kotaku articles. Really got me thinking. Who gets your digital (and physical) gaming collection when you "game over" one day?
What would the kids see?
Will they see daddy never finished Wolfenstein?
Will they see Mommy played Blanka in Street Fighter?
Will they discover a shamefull amount of Visual novels?
Dying words: "Son... you must take my spaceship and exlore the sky... promise me!"
Or "My daugther... train hard. You must defeat XXxxXXHaxL0rd69XXxxXX for the honour of my clan!"

At this point, my steam account is worth more money than my car. My son is looking forward to getting it in the will. You’re not helping Grayson.

Tell your son I said, “You’re welcome.”

Or find a way to live forever to spite him. Your call!

Wow, that actually makes me wonder if that can be a real thing. Not that I have children or feel like dying anytime soon, but hey, if I had thousands of dollars worth of steam games on my account and WAS about to die and had children I would like my collection to be passed on.

I wonder if Steam would accommodate that... eh.. probably not.

“Clearing The Backlog” could become your family’s heritage. Each generation a new kid tries their best to play through the games, but at the same time adds games they never got around to playing themselves. Legend tells that in the future there will be a Chosen One - a child of endless time and energy. Until that time comes, you and your descendants will try their best to hold back the growth of the Backlog.



What do you leave behind? Or is your steam account set to self-destruct?

@Teb that is an interesting question, but the first thing that I thought of is, can you transfer an account? I know that it happens, people sell their accounts all the time, but I think that it is against the ToS. These days with digital purchases I think that we have to be prepared for publishers/providers to say that ownership terminates on death. Sucks, but I can see some lawyer at Valve making that call.

Been thinking about it... Surely these days you need to have an envelope with all your passwords saved somewhere? So technically your kids can "inherit" the envelope and get access to your account. but at what time will Steam say; "Wait... this account is 120 years old. We suspect shenanigans"
Same thing goes for your WoW account. Leaving your kid a level 80 paladin seems like a deal. He can possibly sell your gear for real world money.
Or run around as "you", therefore keeping you alive in the digital world.

@Teb - thankfully my digital library is fairly small and almost exclusively DRM-free installers from GoG. On console, there's plenty of smaller "indie" title I've picked up, but the games I really enjoy and want to keep are physical copies.

I'm so going to shrink-wrap my consoles and physical games as I know I'm never going to play them again then force them on any potential children later.

No one, I don't think anyone will care about a gaming collection when I am dead, especially when life insurances and such pay out millions, pretty sure that will be more welcome than a couple silly games.

Well this could be pretty morbid Especially as games become more realistic with VR and such. It would possibly be almost like wearing your parents skin...

LOL, I'm pretty sure all of your games will end up in a landfill unless they are worth some $$$.

Give them a few a few years and that problem will be fixed

My children will inherit my collection then their children and so on so forth until a warehouse is full then they will buy another warehouse until the end of time !bm !bm

I will also raise my children on pokemon start their brainwashing early
