@Kraven I will actually stop buying games. I have done so in the past with games I would have bought but didnt as they were download only or required a download, i.e. Hogwarts Legacy. I just dont spend money on stuff I dont own. I have more than enough to play so I am okay with this and I will continue to buy the games that have true physicals

@victordamazio I wanted to go over some of your points here, as I am a 100% physical collector and will never buy digital, even if it is the only way to get a game...

Of course a game can be lost or break but digitally a game can be taken from you without a pre notice or so. A lost game can be found or bought again but a digital game if its gone its truly gone.

What is recent when it comes to discs? I know BluRays can last up to 50 years if treated right.

While the aspect of the hardware is true, you can always buy a new console, or used to play your collection of physical games. Now, try to buy a console that needs internet just to play your digital games and you're SOL if the servers are offline... So again physical still wins here.

Space, okay I will agree with you here

And here too, games are going up in value that is also, and sadly true. But once you buy it it is yours and no worries it may disappear in the future... Can you resell a digital game... nope.

Okay arcades have nothing to do with physical as it is a totally different thing... its the game and the hardware in one and of course its expensive... I do not understand how this has to do with the Digital vs. Physical argument.

Okay this last point so many get wrong and falsely use against physical... If you buy a game and it requires no download or patch and is complete on cart or disc then it is no "digital key" or so. It is your 100%. Only on Xbox and PC is this an issue... NSW and PS it is not. You can be 100% offline and play almost everything, minus those games that need a download or so. That is why I always check this before I buy any games... there are sites that check exactly this! does it play is one that makes sure the games do not need a download....

Physical is for me the only way to play and if it goes away I will focus on my back log and won't be buying anymore games. Digital is just you throwing money out the window imo.
