The new generation of gaming experience has been mostly about digital content that over time, disc-based games have been left on the sides. Paul Raines, CEO of Gamestop thinks otherwise, saying, "disc based games will be around forever."

In his interview featured on Fortune, he implied that despite predicting billions of sales on digital content, the conventional gaming methods, which include disc-based games, will stay forever and not be totally counted out.

He also added, "I see a complimentary business where we sell discs plus download like the current console mode. Virtual reality games will also likely follow this model."

According to Attack of the Fan Boy, there are several significant things the disc-based games have that no digital content can accomplish at the moment. For instance, digital games are still more expensive than physical games as well as trading in your old digital games for new ones in the market.

PC Gamers who still choose the disc-based games can take advantage of the low price given, especially by Steam. The price difference of physical games from that of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One is still far apart and the standard gaming experience shouldn't be as expensive.

After years of capitalizing on physical games, Raines confirmed that Gamestop has actually found their fortune selling digital games. He said, "We have a pretty healthy digital business, this include downloadable content (DLC) for PC and console games, full game downloads, Steam points cards and currencies and Kongregate's online and mobile games sales. We see that as a $1 billion business this year."

This year alone gave the gaming store an 11 percent increase on sales or roughly around $199 million. The company has "The Witcher 3" and "Batman: Arkham Knight" to thank for because of their contribution to their annual sales.

Gamestop also announced that they might be able to employ at least 28,000 applicants more around the world in order to cater to the demand of holiday shoppers. Lisa Keglovitz confirmed that this is to ensure they're "appropriately staffed to meet their customer's need this holiday."

Despite the increasing demand for digital games and a much more convenient way of playing a DLC version, the company stands firm on their belief that the physical game will never get outdated, let alone be totally removed from the system. This current generation has enabled players to acquire a disc-based game, at the same time download its digital version.
