Poll Digital vs Physical video game copies!

[IcEWoLF]

Which option would you go with? Digital or Physical?

For me, I enjoy Digital version since I've been primarily a PC gamer with STEAM over the years, also its nice because if something were to ever happen to your house or your PC you could simply retrieve all bought games from the STEAM store, same thing can be done with the Xbox One and Playstation 4.

I see the downside of the Digital games, which is more space being needed on your system to store the game, and no resale value, and if you have bad internet connection (Hi @Fasttrak ) then Digital copies might not be all that great for you.

In my 26 years of gaming, I probably have traded in a total of 10-15 games out of hundreds that I have bought...just feels like too much hassle, I also don't have to worry about finding the discs incase I misplaced them.

I love digital. Download them anywhere you go and don't risk scratching them. I'm pretty confident I scratched every single game, movie and CD I ever got my hands on between cassettes and finally digital everything. It's comforting to know you can't really lose or destroy any digital purchase.

Digital is fine with me, I haven't had a console since ps2 was in it's prime.

Digital only if its like a whatever game, I buy physical copy's of final fantasy games or one that I really wanna have shown on my shelf.

I like how Steamworks works. You can buy a physical copy (which allows you to install the software offline) that is tied to your Steam ID, which allows you to download if you do not happen to have the hard copy of the software so long as you have an internet connection.

Agree with @FuZion
The only downfall with digital in this case like a steam or blizzard account gets hacked by tools. You might not be able to retrieve your account or worse got it banned Im all in for digital tho its usually little cheaper than CD and I can download right away and not have to wait in line (SC2....)

i would still rather have an n64 physical copy game over some digital emulator.. unless its a game boy emulator for my smartphone and i get all the pokemon games cuz that shit bomb yo.

if i cant touch it and not in front of me, then i feel like not 100% mine. so Physical is for me. BUT. digital can last forever...so im a dumbass

When it comes to movies I buy physical... Having games on the other hand is nice to have them digital because of the automatic updates...
