To me it's because a physical copy means ownership and control of what you bought and paid for. You can display it, make a backup, lend it to a friend, play it without a mandatory internet connection, or sell it later. Sure I didn't avoid buying digital only games on PC but I specifically sought out physical console copies of certain games because it meant I could recover some of my expense if it turned out it wasn't what I wanted.

Well that’s just not true, you can buy a physical game that is still subject to DRM and have it tied to an account so other people can’t play it.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
