Southernfatman 10/31/22 9:08:30 AM #12:	I'm getting to the point where digital > physical. It's nice just picking up and playing and it saves so much room.

DipDipDiver 10/31/22 9:11:36 AM #13:	Tbh I never thought was a big deal switching out games manually but ever since I went all digital a few years ago I don't think I can ever go back to physical media.

Solid_Sonic 10/31/22 9:13:19 AM #14:	I'm even starting to prefer digitizing my retro game systems for the same reason (no more buying games or ~~burning discs~~), although the unreasonable pricing for older games also contributes to that (I just want to play games more than own them at the end of the day, even though some would be worth owning, so I'll just settle for playing them by other means). --- I can't enjoy myself unless I know the decisions I made were good in the eyes of others. <cite>Solid_Sonic posted [p:969094096] in I understa...

DipDipDiver 10/31/22 9:20:46 AM #16:	I believe the newest Modern Warfare did that as well.
