Wind blows, birds fly, and Tim Cain YouTubes. The Interplay, Troika, and Obsidian developer (and OG Fallout co-creator) is once again nattering on his YouTube channel (via GamesRadar), and his topic this time is the divide between physical and digital media.
Cain strikes a pretty pro-digital-distribution tone at the video's start. Being able to stick a game on Steam rather than order print runs of discs means devs have more time to work on games (because there's less lead time between finishing development and shipping), it means games are easier to patch, and it means old games—like the many classics Cain worked on—can remain easily accessible in, hopefully, perpetuity.
