I almost never play games but I've bought a bunch of physical copies of games I want to play. There's already SO MANY good games I haven't played yet that If new games are digital only I'll either go back to older consoles or piracy.

I also almost never play games, but when I do, they're very cheap. I recently got into Subnautica for like $7, so I have no problem paying that for a download.

I'd much rather have a physical copy for a game that's like $80, but I don't think I'll ever buy an $80 game
