    I can understand the appeal of digital games. The biggest dealbreaker for me is that all your purchases are forever linked to your account. If your account gets compromised or banned you lose access to all the games you bought. Unlike a physical games. Once you buy it the company cannot legally take it away from you.

      Exactly, had a buddy who got his account stolen, We tracked it and it appeared to be logged in somewhere in the middle east. Good thing tech support was able to retreive it.
      Lesson learned (2FA).

    I feel like you should buy games wherever you want but fight anti-consumerism when it happens.
    For example, when Sony shut down the ps3 store we were still able to download our digital library which was good.
    But they shut the store down on short notice and people wanted time, so we complained and they listened.
    I love both, I primarily buy digital games due to game sharing, being able to basically get two copies for one purchase everytime you buy a game is really hard to beat for me IN MY OPINION.
    I buy a game, my girlfriend gets it to and we play it together.
    That's my personal reason, but when I play a game I truly fall in love with (the Yakuza series) I buy it physically.
    Both are great and don't be ashamed for either way you buy your games.
    But MOST IMPORTANTLY this isn't a war between physical owners and digital, the whole point is we want options, and don't want our options limited especially when you spend $500+ on a console

  • @VeraRobinson-yn5zm
    @VeraRobinson-yn5zm 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I think it depends on how you prefer to play or what is simple easier, for me Digital is easier because not only is it more convenient but where I live is like at least a good 45min drive to the nearest Game stop or Walmart so I'd rather download a game that takes less than half that time. Plus a lot of times (not always) but a lot Digital games go on sale and sometimes 80% to 90% off . This isn't the say I don't own physical games I just have a little more Digital games due to being slightly more convenient where I live.

    There's a small variable in that part where you said that digital games are gone forever if you uninstall them after the servers are down. Many consoles have backwards compatibility nowadays and your digital games are linked to your account. How long will it continue like this? Nobody knows, but at least of now, you should be safe for at the very least 2 generations... Which sounds terrible, but then again *sigh*.

    • @denjoverse
      @denjoverse  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Saved data will be stored in the switch console, you'll have to make new ones.
      Codes usually come from new games, a piece of paper with a code will be in the game case used to redeem items etc in the online store.

    Ever notice the argument never includes PC? It's only console gamers who pine for physical games. On Steam I have 2 hours to play a game and if I don't like it I can get a FULL refund. I know there are other PC gaming services that have similar policies. Do you have any idea how awesome that is compared to buying a physical game just to find out you hate it? If Nintendo, Microsoft and/or Sony had these policies, would your opinion change?

    • @denjoverse
      @denjoverse  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Buying digital on console kinda feels like a gamble. If they do happen to change their refund policies that would definitely be good for newly released games. Older games will already have tons reviews out we can decide there.
      I would still consider resellability more than being alble to get a refund.

      EHH HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA god damn, the refund policy on steam is crap, many times they just don’t allow it even if you haven’t played the game for long (less than 2 hours). I would rather be able to sell my games on pc if I could.

    A large amount of games don’t even come out physically. Indie games are notorious for being digital only. Definitely digital for me. I buy physical movies I like because there is a quality difference between streamed v. local, but for games there is generally no difference since you have to install either.

      I respect physical games, and own many myself. They both are great, but when I really fall in love with a game I buy it physically.
      But most of my games are digital since I can just game share every game with my girlfriend
