I work at a gamestop (which is loads of fun lemme tell you…) and trying to explain the difference between all digital consoles and disk drive consoles to parents, grandparents, and little kids is the fucking WORST. NOBODY understands it, and people just usually go with whatever is cheaper only to end up more confused. It also doesn’t help that Microsoft needs to get the fuck over itself and come up with names for their consoles that don’t confuse the everloving SHIT out of everyone. Going from the Xbox One S and One X to the just changing to Xbox Series S and Series X has made things SO confusing for everyone. I can’t tell you how many times people come in asking for the “Xbox One X” when they mean the Series X. I’ll get halfway through a conversation before the realization kicks in that something ain’t right here. It’s just miserable.

I love PC gaming. But my Series X/PS5 is fast approching the performance of my 1080ti PC.

And I am absolutely dredding upgrading the PC this time. It doesnt seem as worth it compared to 5 years ago.

I asked for a PSP for Christmas when I was younger solely to play Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep. The PSP Go had recently come out and the employee at the store convinced my Christmas shopping parents to get a PSP Go instead because it was the newer model. On Christmas day I got a PSP Go and PSN gift card. I charged the Go excitedly on Christmas morning, entered the PSN card, went to the digital store to search for Birth By Sleep.... "no results found". After looking it up I found out the game wasn't on the PSP Go due to it being larger than the max game size the Go could handle and I was stuck with an open product and being unable to play the single game I was waiting all year for. Probably the most devastated I've ever been on Christmas day. Nowadays I'm probably never going to buy a physical game again, outside of collectors editions, but I did have a vendetta over digital only for quite awhile because of that.

[@leightonpetty4817]

I really think the biggest thing holding me back from All-Digital is the lack of solid ownership. I had a friend who lost his Steam account-every single one of those games, thousands of dollars spent over years and years, suddenly vanished. Or if my Nintendo Account is ever banned for whatever reason, valid or otherwise, I will suddenly lose all of those games. At least with a physical game, I _own_ it. No matter what happens, the internet could spontaneously explode and malicious AI could take over all the world’s interconnected systems and infrastructure, but my disc copy of Metal Gear Solid will in fact still boot up a copy of Metal Gear Solid no matter what happens.

[@reddytoplay9188]

The exploding is valid but Malicious AI would make your system useless as by that time your console is linked to the internet. Making sure that you cannot boot it up.

[@kjjustinXD]

Physical games on a PC are useless. Why? There is a key in the box that gets bound to one account. Lose that account and the physical copy is useless too.

[@robertmcdonald1245]

There are games I will buy physically and games I will buy digitally - and its exactly because I once had an Apple account with a few thousand songs that vanished! You don't own digital, you just pay up the butt to rent it before it goes away.

The thing though is that the average person simply doesn't care about game ownership. There's even gaming enthusiasts who I've seen trade in their last gen console and all of their games with it because "it's time". Most people just want games to be convenient, and if owning games is inconvenient, then that's the way it goes.

[@kriscynical]

Being an old fart in internet years that's been around since the 2600 was still on store shelves, the all digital trend concerns me a bit. I still have every console, cart, and game disc I've ever owned. If I want to play them, I just pop them in. That's it. Now even with physical media you have to download huge day one patches on most AAA titles, so having the disc won't mean much when those servers are gone in - at _best_ - 15 years and you can't download the patches needed to finish the goddamn game since everything launches half-assed and half-baked now. If you're not into emulation, there are tons of games that are just going to be GONE when the HDD in your console eventually dies _because all HDDs eventually die._ I still buy physical whenever I can, but this trend is already making me savor the new games I'm playing even more - if they're playable at launch, at least - since part of me knows they're eventually going to be gone. Nintendo seems to be the only company releasing complete games on carts anymore, and that's not an across the board thing, just mostly.

[@birdysama2980]

I feel the exact same. I've been collecting games for about 15 years and the push toward digital only is really freaking me out. The servers that will eventually shut down, the HDD/SSD that might break or die, the dlc that have no physical form and will eventually get lost when the servers will go down... Of course physical have its own set of problems like disk rot and physical damage to the CDs but those things are all avoidable with proper care at least.

All valid except for that part near the beginning, when you said buying games physically saves space on your console.
