MarbyIsBack 05/24/20 3:54:09 PM #2:	Digital. As a kid I owned a lot of physical games, and while I agree with your points towards physical, it doesn't do a lot of good if they stop working. Which most of mine have since I didn't take good care of my discs as a kid. The only problem I have with digital is the memory it takes up. I have a constant problem on my Switch of only having about 6-7 games installed and having to delete one whenever I want to play a new/different game. And this is considering I've got a 64 GB SD card in addition to the 32 GB system storage. --- The Bagel made me do it.

nemu 05/24/20 4:45:59 PM #12:	For consoles, physical because there's at least some guarantee I can play the game in ten years if I want. You'll at least be able to load patches through other means even if the servers go down. Though for games I plan on playing daily for a long time, I do go digital initially, though I'll eventually buy a used physical copy way down the line. If they ever develop some kind of laws where access to purchased digital content must be guaranteed, then I'd be fine with buying digital more often. <cite>nemu posted [p:939648902] in Do you pre...

Cons of physical - - ugly cases taking up space in room - have to change the disc when switching games - disc can break or scratch I dont mind the cases if theyre official.

And yet that is a possibility (one in which you can minimize risk with safety systems and smart behavior), but shutdown of servers is an inevitability. Let's take PS3 for an example. I currently own about 60 PS3 games, and nearly every single one of them is now available in one way or another elsewhere, whether it's a PS4 remaster, PS Now, etc. If my PS3 collection burned in a fire OR they shut down the PSN, that small handful of likely irrelevant games that hasn't been made available anywhere else can then be re-bought physically for $5 bucks at a used game store. Compared to the convenience of just having everything digital and assuming everything will be fine, i'll take digital. Sure i'm buying them again, but i'm likely buying remastered and improved versions anyway so it's a worthy purchase. --- https://imgur.com/wMshiEN <cite>EffectAndCause posted [p:939650441] in Do you pre...

EffectAndCause 05/24/20 5:32:12 PM #49:	Plus my PC has been essentially digital since day 1 and we just assume everything will be fine with Steam games. We've never actually owned MMORPGs but we play them and pay $14.99 a month and just assume they'll be around forever. It's the same leap of faith. --- https://imgur.com/wMshiEN <cite>EffectAndCause posted [p:939650808] in Do you pre...
