Title says it all lads.
Do you prefer your games bought digitally on a storefront I.e. Steam, PSN etc OR on a disc in your shelf?
Personally on PC I always get games from GOG and Steam because obviously most titles are digital and it is convenient for me. (Despite owning TF2 on disc since 2007! Yep!)
When it’s consoles though, I always wanna get it on disc and I am glad I go the extra mile for it especially when new games like SF6 are on preowned sales. Look at the PSN fiasco with shows, this is why I prefer physical media on consoles because you can keep it.
PC = Convenience, laziness and most are digital only anyway
Console = Don’t want scummy corpos taking stuff I bought away from me, disc it is.
Your thoughts lads?
I can log on to anybody’s computer in the world, install Steam, and have full access to my entire game library.
I can make almost anybody I know (with limits) a “family member” and share my library.
I can stream my games from my computer to my phone.
My steam deck lets me play my entire library anywhere.
I see no personal benefit to using physical media anymore.
I guess a disclaimer would be that I trust Valve but you truthfully, I don’t trust all game companies/vendors.
