Until you try to play a game you paid for and find out it disappeared. I'll never understand why people buy digital if a real copy is available.

It depends on the situation. Case in point, I bought Xenogears on Playstation Network for I think 6 bucks for the PS3 or 4. Or I could spend 400 CAD on it physically.

Yeah I dunno either, just a boomer collector thing I guess. Or an opposite kind of person who sells the game used right after they are done playing it.

The only platform that I'm comfortable with buying digitally is PC. I don't trust Nintendo in any capacity, and Sony's marginally better. At least I can go on PC and buy games from 1986.

Even if that were to happen, which it never will with my games, it wouldn't outweigh the benefits of buying digital.

Guess what? Your disc can get scratched.

I mean, you just explained why I buy new games in the physical format. I have a couple totes full of games in good and very good condition.. I have no idea which ones will raise in value or if they will at all, but my digital games aren't even capable of being resold.

The last good console was PS2.

If you have the money to buy games in physical, more power to you. But I refuse to pay 2 grand for a copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Saturn. I would rather experience the game at least once, and then decide whether or not its worth me spending extra money for a physical copy I may never play again.

The only exception to that is Terranigma, which I will purchase physically if it shows up on the Switch; alternately I'm in the process of putting some money aside for the fan translation port.

The "disappearing" argument is stupid. By the time something would magically disappear from the official store, or Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo/Valve goes bankrupt and has to sell their servers - there will be backups online that you will easily be able to obtain or even emulate.

Digital > Physical

Yeah.

Their discs get scratched up more often than a digital game would disappear lmao.
