You’re using the same amount of storage whether you buy games physically or digitally.

The difference being that you can load the content back onto the SSD at will, and regardless of server statuses... A lot of people have bandwidth caps or live in places with shit internet speeds.

Edit: I should clarify that I know some publishers only use the disc as a license of sorts with only a few MB of data... I'm wholly against this concept. Think publishers that don't ship a working game on the disc should be barred from selling physical copies at all as it's just landfill.
