Remedy: Digital distribution is good for all

Matias Myllyrinne, head of Remedy Entertainment, has explained that the faster the gaming industry evolves towards a digital industry, the better it will be for all of us.

According to the CEO consumers, developers and publishers will see the benefits of digital distribution. Oh yea, maybe big retail chains won't, but that's their own fault for taking too high margins on second hand games, according to Myllyrinne.
“I don’t think the big, huge experiences are going anywhere, but the sooner we go digital as an industry, the better for everybody. Better for consumers, better for the developers and publishers,”

“Maybe [it’s] not so good for retail, but then again if you’re selling our games as used copies and incentivising people to do that, then I don’t really feel sorry for you.”
With the launch of Alan Wake, Remedy had taken episodic DLC into account. The extra "episodes" were a big success for the developer, but it still remains difficult to release a game with a strong story.
“It was hugely successful, and really resonated with the fans. You’re adding to the value that you’re giving people. But I think on the other hand you need to be very careful – the game that you ship and provide folks needs to have a meaningful ending and closure. Having a TV series structure really, really worked well for it because it’s kind of natural for a TV series to go on to season two or have specials.
Remedy mostly became famous with Max Payne and Alan Wake, which was under development for far too long, making it suffer from age diseases already upon release.

To be honest: retail chains are playing middle man with regards to second hand games. If they weren't there, people would sell them themselves to others. And nobody has ever denied the middle man a small fee. In any business.
