Being an Old School Gamer and the proud owner of dozens of legacy systems and games, there is something to be said about ownership. However, Software (or Games) as A Service is a thing that companies like Ubisoft have been pushing since the first online "verification" server. "Owning" a physical game means nothing if it needs an ACTIVE internet connection to "verify it" with a server that will eventually be decommissioned by said Gaming Company. Give me my backlog of physical Atari, Intellivision, Colecovision, SNES, PS2, GameCube games (to name a few) any day. Bonus: Most are worth $$$ to collectors and the like.

@Zacklby. They might when your kids realize that some games might be worth some serious bank.
