@Dirty0814 you can apply this same argument to physical games: if your house burns down or your physical copy/game system gets lost/stolen/damaged, you can no longer play the game. And yeah, physical copies will always exist, but for anything rare, it is not fun to pay up to 100 dollars (or often more) for a physical game.
The whole argument of physical purists requiring access to 100% of every game they've ever played has always been odd to me. We live in an era with unprecedented access to digital libraries of games. Personally, I don't see the point of replaying most games since there are always thousands of games available to play (and my backlog sure proves this).
Physical people always never seem to take into account that today's indie scene wouldn't exist without digital distribution since it is expensive to manufacture cartridges and boxes for a single game. Reminds me of people getting mad when the two 3DS Phoenix Wright games were released only digitally in North America. If the only release option was physical, a lot of games (like those two PW ones) just wouldn't come out period.
