      A true analogy would be for products you can get either via download or via physical media. So like Blu-ray and CD cases, but instead of a disc a download code.
      This video focuses on console games, but PC games have been going this route, albeit in a subtler way. They'll still press a DVD disc and put it in the box, but because DVD-ROM only holds 9GB max, for games bigger than that the disc often just holds a launcher for Steam to enter the game code and download it. But you don't have that visual of opening the box and there's no disc inside.

      @@dlaniganohara Also Steam has (and other platforms have) - up until now - proven to be a very reliable service provider. And you don't have hard generation cuts like you used to have on consoles. While in the moment Valve seemed incredibly pushy regarding Steam (back then with the release of HL2) they have earned the trust of the gamers now. So it's not only the sentimental value but also the kind of trust that someone will still be able to redownload and play a game in a few years down the line.

      ​@@marsilies I mean to be fair, PC is an entirely different can of worms. Most obviously, almost all laptops and desktops alike from the past five years have removed BR/DVD/CD players from their computers. Sure you could buy an adapter but nobody wants to do that if they don't have to. Secondly, pirating PC games from a disc is super easy (barely an inconvenience) by just ripping the disc to an ISO and "mounting" it to fool the game into thinking it's running on a real disc drive without having the game inserted. The way consoles prevent this is by using specialized discs and/or software most usually by a special partition, information burned to the edges of the physical disc to verify or ways to checksum on the console. (Though it would be cool if some company made a sort of USB to PC Cartridge so that games on PC and possibly mobile too could have a sort of physical release for the fun of it. Then maybe have some contracts with the bigger gaming companies to build it into their computers. Would be very epic.)
      Tl;dr computers are just past discs as a standard medium, and to prevent people from pirating a disc is practically impossible.

      Consoles are a wet-dream for planned obsolescence, making you pay to entirely replace hardware every four years and multiply that with games that have exclusivity deals or first-party developed, not to mention pretty much every console now forces you to pay for a separate internet service too.

      It does make complete sense for indie games and smaller game companies to do digital and then release physically. Like, with DDLC+, they even had to keep delaying the physical release due to shortages in getting cartridges (I think that’s what it was, at least). It’s harder to get physical copies made, and it’s more expensive, so it makes sense to wait on doing physical releases when resources are scarce.
      It also makes some sense for DLC for games that are free-to-play to begin with but are also popular to have digital-only physical releases. Like, it would make no sense to have a physical copy of just the DLC, and it’s kinda odd to have a physical copy of a free-to-play game with specific DLC included, but the game is popular enough that retailers would definitely want to be able to show boxes with “Fortnite” or something printed on them, so _that_ makes sense.
      I can also understand cases like that one Smash Bros-like PlayStation game where you do get a physical copy of the game for one system in the box but also digital copies for other systems included as well (and this also applies to Mario vs Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars in Japan). Like, it’d be kinda weird (and kinda needlessly expensive) to have physical copies of all versions of the game included in the box, but supporting multiple platforms by the same publisher with a single sale also makes sense, so I can get behind that. I actually wish Nintendo had done that a lot more with its Wii U and 3DS library.
      What doesn’t make sense is for large publishers and devs like Sega to do a digital-only physical release of a full game, especially one that they know will do well (like Overwatch and Sonic Mania).
      Like, sure, Sonic Mania was sold at a low price, and I can see how you might not want to print physical copies of a game you’re only selling for $20 (which is why they _did_ make a full physical copy once they released the paid DLC to bump the price up to $40 and just made the DLC included on the disc or cartridge), so on its own, I can understand Sonic Mania not getting an actual physical release except on a 2-in-1 cartridge with Team Sonic Racing and/or with the DLC included to get Sonic Mania Plus so they could sell physical copies at a middling price ($40) rather than at the budget price ($20) that Sonic Mania on its own was sold at. (Seriously, no AAA publisher/developer (and only a few non-budget devs) is going to be willing to make actual physical copies of a game and sell them at such a low price at launch.) However, with the Sonic Mania Collector’s Edition, that made no sense. Like, you’re including a bunch of stuff with it to justify raising the price well above what most AAA games go for (which is $50 or $60), so the added per-unit cost of printing an actual disc (there wasn’t a Switch at the time at all, nor was there ever a 3DS or Vita release, so no cartridges were needed) wouldn’t significantly reduce profits or require increased prices. And these are going to sell well, anyways. Why _not_ include a physical copy of the game with the Collector’s Edition? Like, that’s what happened with DDLC+, an indie game developed almost entirely by one guy: they included some additional goodies with the game to justify selling the physical copy at a higher price than the digital release.
      And Overwatch really doesn’t make sense. Like, it’s a really popular game, it’s a full price game ($60 not counting sales), and it’s by a major company. Maybe the full game wouldn’t fit on a Switch cartridge, but several other Switch games (L.A. Noire, The Bioshock Collection, Spyro: The Reignited Trilogy, etc.) also couldn’t fit on the cartridge, so they just fit what they could on the cartridge and you had to download the rest of the game to the Switch (or Micro SD card) to play. Why couldn’t they do that with Overwatch?
      What makes less than zero sense is when a publisher makes a digital-only physical release for a game that they themselves are publishing (especially if they also developed it) on a system that they manufacture (so Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft). Seriously, Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars in Europe… What the hell is up with that?

      @@thetechrealist I’d say it’s vastly different than music CD’s or even movies. PC gamers have essentially had the option of physical games and therefore the positives that come with them taken away. And of the few PC games that have a physical release nowadays, a lot of them pull tricks and don’t put the game on the disc. That’s why it’s only console gamers because they’re literally the only ones who still have it as an option for majority of the library. And also as Scott stated if you have slow/unreliable internet or don’t have internet at all, just wanna save space on your console, quicker download times, discounted games, etc. then physical media is a must. Those positives don’t really exist with music and movies as they’re much smaller in size than games and their corresponding devices no longer even accept physical media. It’s kind of like how Apple takes away the headphone jack then magically release AirPods the next day. Is it more convenient? Yes, but they don’t give you another option. Plus music and sometimes movies are often used on the go, where as console gaming never is, so a physical library of games if the positives are important enough for you is well worth the space and inconvenience. Now for the vast majority of people, digital is of course the best option but it’s not as obviously better and straightforward as it is with music and movies. Really never understood this comparison.

      @@chrisking686 the point I'm trying to get across here is that it should be one or the other. If I get a physical game with multiple titles, I like having all those titles on the cartridge (like the Megaman Zero collection). If they can't/don't fit them on the cartridge, they can at least let you play the games that are not on the cartridge digitally, since that's what they've given you (Megaman X collection 1 physically & 2 digitally). The third option is to do what they did with Spyro where the first game is physical and the next two are digital, but to play those digital games they make you put in the cartridge (which only has the first game on it) to access the other two games. While this technically works, I much prefer the other two options over this.

    I have one problem with Doom 2016 on Switch's download strategy: the 8GB patch that contains the multiplayer also contains patches for the singleplayer. And as someone who played Doom 2016 on Switch before a few of those patches came out: that is a problem. Not only is the game much buggier, with a particularly bad audio glitch that happened frequently, one of those patches also added gyro controls. So basically, even if you own Doom 2016 on Switch physically, that 8GB download is pretty much mandatory, even if you don't care about the multiplayer. They really should've listed the multiplayer content as free DLC so that it could be downloaded and deleted separate from the single player patches.

    Some of these issues you've pointed out is also true with physical releases of movies and TV shows. Seriously, I have half of a complete TV series on physical because they stopped making the rest of the series on physical release. Seriously, it sucks having only half of a complete series you want to have on a physical copy. And then there's Disney refusing to do physical releases of shows that people want (seriously, there are pirate copies of digital only shows are available to buy because Disney won't). Having a physical release feels like you're owning something, while with digital releases feel like you're only leasing the digital release until the rights owners decide they want to pull the game. It sucks.

With digital even though you can't buy used copies, sell copies, use them on different devices, etc. even years after it's sold you can still play the game if you bought it while it was sold, but with Google Stadia once you lose your subscription or it's unsupported you will supposedly lose access.

      Early releases of the game back in 2017~2018 did actually contain a disc, but they were still pretty useless since the game was still in early access, meaning that the game needed to be downloaded. Weirder still, early copies had some benefit since they also granted founder's access to the PvE mode along with unique heroes, but later Fortnite discs only contained BR and only came bundled with consoles, which begs the question of "why?" Why not just have the game pre-downloaded on the console?

    Except that I've seen stores selling cards with download codes for music and movies. I once bought a download card from a dollar store, it gave me access to an archive of over 500 MB of Christmas music, in 6 different folders (one was all instrumental, one was mostly for kids, one was pop, one was choral, etc). Also sometimes when you buy a vinyl record it comes with a code for a digital download so you don't need to buy special equipment to listen to the record in your phone. Oh, also I've seen book stores have cards at the counter with codes to download e-books.

      @@Chad_Eldridge This is actually still a thing with most physical releases of movies, and not just Disney movies. Combos are usually a mix between 4K, Blu-Ray, DVD, and digital copies, just go through the movie section at a Target or Best Buy and you’ll see. It might seem redundant but I honestly like it, there is literally no downside and you just have another option for how you want to view the film, and have multiple copies making it easier to share. It also reminds me of how back in the day you could pop a music cd into your computer and add all of the songs to your iTunes library and transfer it to your iPod or iPhone, it was such a great feature! Maybe it still exists but I haven’t been able to try it since I haven’t owned a computer with a disc drive in years, but I loved it since you could take what you already owned physically and still have the digital convenience. But as the original comment said, some physical copies of music come with a download code as well which is awesome.
      It could be a cool thing for video games, the only time I’ve had this is when I ordered the physical copy of the game Carrion for Switch on Limited Run Games, but they sent out a digital code for no extra cost right after the order, so I got to play it right away instead of having to wait months for the physical to arrive. It was neat and I really appreciated it, because I got the convenience of the digital and could play right away, but later on I also have the novelty of a physical one that I can share with a friend and it has a cool manual in the box. It cost more than just buying the digital version but that’s par for the course with limited edition physical games; overall it felt like a really forward-thinking and consumer-friendly thing to me, which is probably why it won’t catch on lol. But at least movies and (sometimes) music get the physical+digital treatment!

      To cut costs or something stupid. They did the same thing with iPhones and removed the plug to connect to the wall to charge. (Which would’ve been fine for me since I still had plugs from previous iPhones, except that the generation of iPhones before that switched from using USB for that end to USB-C, so I didn’t have any plugs to go with the new cord, and the old iPhone cords wear out quickly.)
      It’s like they expect most or all of their customers to be upgrading from the previous device, so including the charger would be superfluous.
      Of course, I had a Nintendo 3DS already and-at the time-saw no pressing need to upgrade to a New Nintendo 3DS since I had no interest in the exclusive features. (I could get SNES games on my Wii U, all of the other games exclusive to the New Nintendo 3DS were either not interesting to me or had Wii U equivalents so I could play with better controls on a larger screen with more detail, none of the games I had at the time except Smash Bros would even support the added controls or processor speeds, I didn’t really need amiibo support for any of the 3DS games I had or was interested at the time, and if I needed amiibo support, I could just get the add-on to connect to the 3DS for that.) Plus, money was scarce for me, and a full on New Nintendo 3DS XL was pretty pricey. Maybe if they had sold the non-XL version in the US at that time, I might have upgraded, but as it was, there was nothing about the New Nintendo 3DS that would justify spending that much money to upgrade to it. Even when the New Nintendo 2DS XL came out, I was reluctant because I actually enjoyed the 3D screen of the 3DS.
      I only bought the New Nintendo 2DS XL because it was at a much more reasonable (for me) price, they had recently released Fire Emblem Warriors (which was only for the upgraded systems) and Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia (which had amiibo support), both of which I had interest in, and the shoulder buttons on my 3DS weren’t working properly, making some of my 3DS games essentially unplayable. Plus, having the extra system to trade Pokémon for evolutions in the 3DS Virtual Console games was also nice. (I transferred Pokémon Blue, Yellow, Silver, and Crystal plus my saves for X, OmegaRuby, AlphaSapphire, Moon, Ultra Moon, and most everything else to my new system and then bought Red and Gold for the old one.) I still had a Nintendo DSi cord, so I could still charge both systems, so I was fine on that front.
      Really, most people getting a New Nintendo 3DS XL or a New Nintendo 2DS XL would not be upgrading from a Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, or Nintendo 2DS. It would likely be their first 3DS/2DS system, and they probably wouldn’t have gotten the DSi at all, either. A lot of the people who had one of the older systems would see little to no reason to upgrade (the new ones just aren’t that much better for almost any regular 3DS game (except the 3DS version of Hyrule Warriors), there were few games exclusive to the upgraded versions (and most of those were also available on the Wii U and/or Nintendo Switch, anyways), and few 3DS games had amiibo support (and even fewer had useful amiibo support)). As such, most people getting the upgraded versions would likely not have the charging cable.
      It’s honestly really dumb, and it’s not as though we are paying less because of the lack of a charging cable.

      In the US, at least, deployment of decent internet infrastructure (both mobile like 4G and via cables) in a number of areas (mostly rural areas and low-income areas) is… poor, to say the least. It’s a serious problems, but the lack of competition and lack of serious oversight from the government has made our ISPs… reluctant to do more than the bare minimum regarding infrastructure.
      Also, regarding mobile internet, that will do no good for console or PC gaming. PCs and consoles can’t connect to mobile networks at all. That wouldn’t help the OP’s relative at all.

      After experiencing several games that needed updates to fix game breaking bugs on the OG Xbox, and not being able to acquire them without paying a monthly fee to access the online service, and not being willing to pay said fee, I said no more console gaming. To this day I've never been able to update and fix those games, and a console game shouldn't need fixing in the first place. Gamers these days are so complacent and just don't care about the right things and the companies behind the consoles have taken advantage of them.

      while that can be true you could also very easily lose access to it all the same if you bought a game that mainly runs only and the servers go down your out most of your game, hell currently steam loses listings often you still keep your game and value isn't going to just go away in 20 years they got so much money and products and are clearly willing to invest more money into making more money and worst-case scenario ownership gets passed off to a new company and you still keep everything seeing as if any company was to shut out players who have spent anywhere from $0.99 - $50k there would be so many lawsuits against so many people
