Companies are already pushing all digital systems and rewarding people more for digital purchases.
Consumers just have to fight to keep balance. I guess the only real way to do so is to mostly buy physical when possible, although I understand many people prefer digital. I just wish everyone would be aware of what the long term effects could be.
I totally agree... Myself i dont use game pass... But understand what value it has and will probly get it. but i still purchase most the games i want.
Now it gets tricky Cause the big choice between disc and digital with Xbox at least is Disc i can let someone borrow it... Or Digital i basically get 2 copies for the price of 1 with game sharing. (or play anywhere with xbox,pc,cloud etc...)
For instance i have Halo infinite and Elden ring preorder for disc cause i want the disc and the boxes...
(i dont think PC games have had anything more than download codes for years now. )
But the trend is moving to all digital as some companies are trying to get carbon nuetral i think its called... So less environmental impact etc.
I used to be that guy in gamestop at least once a week looking for a deal.. Now the digital store usually offers better deals than the stores ever due if your patient. (this and i am running out of shelf space lol)
i like both ways. and will be sad if either disappears completely.
