Physical for the most part, but some games like Animal Crossing are much better digital

Digital, just because I have a lot of physical games for older consoles and it just starts taking up space.

my computer doesn't even have a disk drive so I guess digital

though I suppose with the size of many bigname games nowadays they'd be better off distributing on a USB stick lol

My problem with digital is that you don't really own it yourself and it could theoretically be taken away from you, and my problem with physical is that it could get broken. Neither is perfect but I tend to learn more towards physical copies.

What is love? Mayhap it is when you care more about someone else than you do about yourself.

considering how many physical games come with a massive immediate download or day one patch I'm not sure this is a distinction solely to digital nowadays :/

Ah that's a good point, and a bit of a worrying one at that.

This is why I've leaned more towards digital. I don't really display collections, and it's just clutter at a certain point.

Digital.

The argument about "what if it's not available one day" is blatantly ignoring the current situation around patches etc. Take that into account and physical does not have an advantage here.

Digital, however, has a MAJOR convenience advantage.
