The news that Ubisoft and EA Sports are doing away with manuals, makes me sad in so many ways. In truth manuals are a waste of paper since the majority of people don't care. However I wish that there was always the option to buy the complete package with a manual. Most people don't want disc either, for me I like the disc, it gives me the power to play the game without worrying about an Internet connection, and also means that when digital distribution is ceased I can still have access. Even with that said, I ran into an issue last year with playing a disc based PC RPG because the publisher messed up my account, rendering my disc useless. We are fossils living in a modern world. I don't care about wasting paper. These companies will rip down trees to put their buildings around the globe, then they'll have copiers/fax machines/etc. all around the buildings printing papers out around the clock. Me? Well, I use paper to wipe. I'm not Sheryl Crow. I don't do the 1 square thang. I can't stand environmentalists that are crap eating hypocrites.
My Favorite RPGs: Divinity franchise, Gothic franchise (including Arcania, so I think I'm alone...), Venetica, Risen, Two Worlds II, The Witcher, Sacred franchise, Fallout franchise, Mass Effect 1, Alpha Protocol, Planescape: Torment, Drakensang, KOTOR 1 & 2, etc.
