ResetButton: Here's my question... Isn't that a huge problem?
To whom? Not to me at least. If the store keepers and/or game publishers feel it is a problem to them, then it is a problem they have to solve themselves. They may come up with brick&mortar stores if they feel that is the way to go and they make more profit that way.

In your example, a person buying a monitor cable didn't buy a game as he didn't see the game (or even an advert for it), but I am pretty sure digital stores have proven you can sell much much more games worldwide through them, than through brick&mortar stores. And cheaply too as you don't have to deliver physical games all over the world in limited quantities, care about store shelf space etc.

Moreover, there are digital adverts all over the internets. So even if I didn't see a glimpse of that cool new strategy game while buying a monitor cable from Amazon, I probably see it a minute later on some other web page. If anythng, digital stores, digital advertising and internet on the whole has made it much easier to advertise your product (like a game) to a worldwide audience.
I'll buy that for a dollar!

I see what you are saying, but the problem with digital advertising is that the adverts you see are often displayed for you based on your own search history or an algorithm. you will rarely (from what I know) come across a product of a different category that you haven’t shown interested in. You will only see an advert for that strategy game if you have shown an interest in video games, otherwise you will just see adverts for cables.

It limits the potential for exploration.

Jemolk: One of the big problems with the net is how easy it is to isolate yourself into your own small echo chamber, and another is how that often even proves a good idea because dealing with trolls can be so stressful. However, since no hobby is shared by just a single political affiliation and you already have a starting connection, specialized online stores may actually prove a good thing, especially those with forums. Also, anecdotally, the ease of browsing GOG has allowed me to dredge through the catalog and find myself interested in things I never would have noticed otherwise, especially now with my cynicism of anything promoting itself with pretty pictures having been honed to a razor-sharp edge by AAA publishers. Yeah, I've actually gone browsing through GOG's catalog multiple times looking for cool stuff, though that's harder with Steam due to volume (and now getting spammed with barely-qualifies-as-a-game games). Plus, when forum members recommend books, I take note, so there's that too.
I see what you are saying, I too tend to explore GOG’s catalog without a specific aim and come across new things that turn into purchases.

However, the problem is that GOG (for the most part) is a store for video games-only, and you will find only very loose references to something outside of video games. This is a common type of digital store, they are almost all like specialized hobby stores, like the Kindle Store for books or Steam for games. If video games are any indication, stores are soon going to only limit themselves to one single company’s products. This is true in real life as well with stores like the Apple or Windows store, but I think digital stores offer no alternative, there are no all-purpose stores to explore.

Of course, everyone now thinks of Amazon or eBay, but the way I see it, Amazon really tries to keep you out of sections you ‘don’t belong in’. Even the front page, which would be the only potential place for coming across products from other categories, is now based on your search history for be most part.

The big deal isn’t that you won’t spend more money, and I should have made that more clear in the OP, but the problem that I see is that we will end up not knowing anything but the things we already know. If you look for a cable, you will never come across a game unless you have shown an interest in games. I am just not sure if that will have a major impact on how kids who grow up in a digital system will think and learn about things in the future.

I know my interest in history came from stumbling across a colorful history-related book when I was out shopping with my parents. It wasn’t a book store that I found the book in though. Can that happen in a digital store system? =/
