What Drakoji said. If you didn't like Last hits you won't like Dota 2 much, either. Especially when you can deny your own team members and towers. And if you aren't doing those things you are doing it wrong. Denying your own creeps is important, too. Especially if you're against someone who can outlane you. Denying them as much XP and gold as possible is key.
If you don't like that system then Heroes of the Storm sounds like it is for you. There isn't last hitting and everyone is on even footing with the levelling system. XP is shared. Much more friendly if you want it.
Considering the amount of games that have a digital tie-in, now days, physical runs into the same issue as digital does. And I'm with several other people here, in that, I kinda don't care if I can't play it again. I have to really, really like a game to play it multiple times and I have a great memory so it is hard for me to go back to older games I've played.
I bought Darksiders 1 and 2 through the PSN and I'll, probably, never play those games again. If I do it will be far into the future where I'll have a PC and buy it for a dollar. And I mostly play MP games, anyway.
Even if a service shuts down the content isn't lost forever. The day that game comes out there is a cracked version on the interwebs for everyone to download. I'll just go there if I desperately want to play something.
Sony is already putting money into VR. It isn't the HMZ thing but something else. MS is working on AR glasses. Project Fortaleza. AR has the greater commercial potential due to the fact the glasses can easily "disappear". Oculus won't be super mainstream for a while, if ever. MS and Sony don't have much to worry about.
Things will ramp up. But it takes time. It took 12 months for Gears of War and 12 months for Uncharted on PS3 and it took until 2007 until things got super crazy game wise.
