Physical versus digital games, has your actual preference shifted over the years

[RedKnight]

Used to be entirely physical, now buy almost everything digitally purely for convenience, though I do genuinely miss having an actual shelf of games to look at

Curious how people's real preference has actually evolved, not the nostalgic answer, the genuine honest habit you actually have right now

[LogicWitch]

Completely digital now, the convenience of instant access has won me over despite missing the physical collection aesthetic

[Stuart_67]

Still physical whenever possible, resale value and actual ownership matter to me more than the minor convenience digital offers

[Donna48]

Started digital only, actually shifted back to physical recently after worrying about losing access to purchases if a storefront ever shuts down

[Voyager66]

Digital for smaller indie titles, physical for anything I consider a significant purchase I want to actually own long term

[Oscar_86]

Mixed depending on the platform specifically, digital on one console, physical on another purely based on which storefront I trust more long term

[Layla81]

Completely digital, storage space in my apartment doesn't allow for a meaningful physical collection anymore anyway

[Craig90]

Physical exclusively still, the whole unboxing experience and having something tangible matters to my actual enjoyment of a purchase
