skyfire Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 These days I prefer the downloadable games. I don't want to waste my apartment space with all those game collections. I think steam and epic store can be really helpful on that count. And even better option is that there are some really good free game stores out there. So we have plenty of choices to choose from and make use of when we are buying the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to hate looking for game cases back in the day and the most dreaded thing that can happen - the game's CD has a scratch and your console won't read it. It used to frustrate the hell out of me. I much rather digital downloads these days, to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Digital is better, owning disks was a cool thing before but that had issues like you couldn't own the games anymore if the disk gets scratched and you always have to keep them safe, unlike with digital stuff that can last for pretty much forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shole Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I rather have it online, I can reset a password, but I can never fix a broken cd 😞 . Even tho some exclusive toys or key chains come with it I rather have it online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrik Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Almost nobody buys games disks for PC these days, even all PC cases got no DVD Drive included, so that era is gone for PC users :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I'm mostly digital now. There's only two times I can think of where I might go physical: 1, when I want some tat like a statuette that comes with it, or 2, should my partner and I be able to go on a shopping trip and it's a talking point for when we eat out. With coronavirus and all, high street shopping is neither safe nor smart, especially in the place we'd like to go which is indoors and while spacious, has limited ventilation. So I'm afraid it's going to be almost exclusively digital, especially as the games industry gives me less reason to trust it with exclusive tat attached to appalling games. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I'm team digital as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing myself, I will probably misplace the cases and then I'd get annoyed that I can't find my games. Personally, I do both when it comes to getting my PC games. I'd prefer some games in digital copies and some in physical copies. I think the price plays a big role in determining which one I go for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazycrab Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) Even if you get a physical copy of a game on PC, most of the time all that's on the disc is code and link for a digital version anyway.

Nobody "went" digital on PC as if we, the gamers, had a choice. The platform itself abandoned physical games what had to well over a decade ago.

Yeah, that's how it's been for a while with my recent try of using physical copies. I think the age of physical copies is over for PC games.
