People buy physical copies for manuals? I never cared about those things anyways.
Sorry you have shelving issues, but that's not really a reason for the industry to stop making physical copies. It's like saying my hard drive is getting full so we should stop having things to download. There are some indie games, but I'd disagree that they are what's actually good. Of course a question of "what's good" is a personal opinion thing anyways so no point really arguing in that respect.

Though isn't that mostly for classic games that you can't easily find anymore? That's fine since the older games aren't too big in terms of file size anyways.

Then DA:2 comes along and it's clearly rushed. By how long we've had to wait for ME3 and the fact they have been receptive to critiquing from the fans (such as how they ditched too many RPG elements for ME2) should inspire confidence.

One bad result is enough to lay the seeds of doubt. I'm not going to go into DA3 (it's bound to happen) without any suspicions after what happened last time. After all they talked about listening to the fans and yet came out with that product.
I'm still looking forward to and planing to get ME3, but we'll see how they do this time around.
