    Unpopular opinion, but I’m fine with this. I only buy games digitally these days because who has the patience to put in a disk these days. And I pirate cracked copies of PC games to ensure I have a copy forever.

      Last time I checked most games were cheaper when bought physically in comparison to digitally.

      Intentionally buying digital makes a lot of sense for games you might play on a whim.

      But I’m going to be honest, if you’re playing through a full campaign, that’s just lazy. If I’m going to be playing a game for the next couple weeks or month, putting a disc in affects me negligibly.

        Nah, it’s easy to put games on an external hard drive and keep them there for future use. Takes up a lot less shelf space, too.

        Losing the second hand market hurts though. But there also haven’t been any box PC games in at least a decade.
