- Hey everyone, I had been thinking a lot about if physical game collecting was still worth it in 2024 so I made this video to go over the pros and cons compared to buying digital games instead. Thanks for watching!
if physical games are dead then gaming as a whole is dying
The digital/physical ratio you see flying around is misleading since it generally also includes digital only games (mostly indies) and stuff like dlc
Valid points. imo the cases, boxes and manuals for games and consoles are part of the experience and get me more attached to my copy since its, well, MY copy which is something digital games can almost never do for me
Bro this here is some goood shit you deserve more subs fs
Digital for PC and physical for Switch that's how I've always rolled, and if I ever get a PS5 (probably not cause they keep bringing their games to pc) im doing physical only for that as well
They made the switch for movies and music because they offered all of them and a reasonable price. But as they start raising the prices removing access to content, i wonder if we'll see a switch back. Most people I know have cut streaming gone to piracy. Hopefully there's still money in purchasing films and music. Although with how films are locked down, the DRM and quality is worse. Requires that connection and an account can't do imports or out of print/ rare films. I don't really know what the future holds. Plus Sony just announced they were going to remove a bunch of stuff and then extended the licence for 30 months. Everything's up in the air and I just hope physical media sticks around long enough to weather the storm and go back to being somewhat popular a man can dream
Physical is better but unfortunately, if the companies stop making them (like pc physical games) nothing we can do.
Physical games are just drm keys, you still have to install them and all your progress is tied to an account and in many cases require an internet connection. So why bother.
Just back up Steam games. If they ever closed you could make the games run without Steam. This makes them better than physical games. Stay away from console digital, if they close games are gone especially if the console broke.
I can sell all my physical games on Ebay when I am done with them. You can't sell your digital games. Physical copies depreciate in value a lot quicker, so can get old games a lot cheaper and shop around for the best price.
I like fiscal games but with updates unless you get the complete version after it gas been out
Delisting doesn't remove the game from your library... it just remove the ability to purchase the game so its the equivalent of the end of production of physical copies. Displaying your games is also possibile with digital. Steam have an amazing profile system that let you display the games you own or your favorite game etc. physical copies and physical hardware continues to age and will die in the future. Some of my ps2 games dont work anymore and also my ps2 stopped working some years ago. That day i felt like a part of myself died. Now days i buy physical games only where i am forced like for some old games that never got a digital release in the first place.
Since companies are forcing people go zdigital did it myself but only if can download for free sailing the high seas sa ing a ton of money. The advantage of digital is easier and faster making it to high seas
The only pro argument for digital games is pirating, and that's only for game-preservation.
Have your pet at home or pay to visit your pet at the petstore. Then you lose your password, the petstore raises their prices, gets hacked, accuses you of hacking, or goes out of business.
Physical games decrease chances of your games getting stolen easily and you dont have to worry about your credit card money getting stolen(when i were to get physical games i use cash)
Digital wil be a prison governments are telling game dev to promote digital wy for a new system for the whole world social credit system we all can stop the digital world not buy or dowload digital we are in power when we al.work.together come on people !!!
One guy just got banned from minecraft for naming one his villagers "idiot"... in his own private server with no other human players. i like the freedom in physical. No sony goon is going to come to my house and break my disc in half, because i named a character wrong in a single player ps3 game, lol.
