Besides Gamestop - I think it could be important. What if the servers shut up in the future? How do you get your purchased games?
You download them and back them up. What happens if the disc is scratched or your buddy drops a blunt on it?
Your buddy buys you a new disk…
If it’s still being published or if a second hand copy doesn’t cost more than your buddy’s annual wage.
What fucking second hand games are you buying? Beloved classics aren’t that expensive.
If they’re purely digital and drmed you can’t back them up.
I have backups of my PS4, with games downloaded from the PS store that say different.
Heck any Playstation disc games tries multiple times to get you to save it to the HDD.
The DRM is the key part of that. So the answer is DRM-free, not physical media. Especially since all games get patched these days.
You can’t buy all games at GOG.
You can’t buy all games on disc either. Also, not every game on Steam has DRM.
