Extra Life info from Robop1g:Big day is Nov 4th this year, my link for donations is tiny.cc/robop1g and team page is tiny.cc/g4g Our team is currently 28th out of 4549 teams, we could use everyones help to try and reach our goal of being a top 50 team this year. And if they want to give our twitch channel a follow its twitch.tv/good4gaming

Question from TeamChaosTheory:With digital becoming the norm over physical copies of games, do you think the incentive for big box stores to carry consoles will dwindle? The manufacturers (sony,microsoft, nintendo) generally sell the console at a minimal profit, or even at a loss and get the stores to not mark up the consoles too high, they make most of their money on the games. So, basically less physical games in the wild. less profit for retailers, how will they react in the future or next gen even? Hopefully that wasn't too confusing lol

Piggyback off this question with PUBG physical release:https://www.vg247.com/2017/10/23/playerunknowns-battlegrounds-xbox-one-version-will-have-a-physical-release/
