I'm old and buy physical whenever possible so I can trade them in when I'm done. It will suck when console online stores have the monopoly - I might have to go PC Master Race when that happens (complete with eyepatch).

As someone who's been PC only for some time over a decade, I love digital. Having to store disks and search for them when I wanted them sucked. It's a shame used isn't an option, but that was never a great value to consumers anyway. It saved some money, but it was mostly sucked up as profit by whoever was reselling them.

I don't even have a disk drive on my computer. I have several fairly large drives so I can keep a good number of games installed at a time, and load times are faster than from a disk too. I couldn't imagine going back. There is the risk of losing it all when a storefront goes down, but that's already the case with modern physical games which have always online components or DRM locked to a network.
