Physical or Digital Game Copy?

I'm always a little worried about a service going out of business and losing access to digital stuff forevermore, but I still do prefer digital. It is way too tedious to reinstall everything from disc when I get a new computer. Going back to the age of disc, I would spend several days on installation for a new computer. Now I buy one, queue up the digital stuff, and start using it right away while installations happen in the background. Way, way better now.

I prefer digital downloads, at least for PC games. I don't need the extra clutter when I already have to get creative to make room to store things sometimes.

Digital, used to prefer physical but my disc reader stopped working and to avoid future problems, I always go for digital

I'm kinda done with having so much stuff. I've been paring down to get rid of clutter. And I'll be doing more of that in the foreseeable future to live somewhere smaller. Apart from family photos and some other particular personal mementos, I expect I'll be prioritizing decorativeness and utility over sentiment. In practice, I really don't look at things I've kept for sentimental reasons. It's more like that that's prevented me from giving them away. I still have my cases for The Sims and Sims 2 and Sims 3, but it never even occurred to me to get them for Sims 4. And I doubt that those older ones will move with me.

Seeing as my laptop doesn't even have a disk drive - digital download.

As much as I would love an physical copy, it is becoming harder to acquire one depending on where you at. As the internet evolves or expand it has made digital delivery more accessible and developers perfer digital over physical being it does save on overhead only in some case customers saves on costs.

I prefer physical for back up purposes in case the game one day goes *poof* but seeing as it's just a code in a box I buy digital.

I prefer physical. I live in a rural area and have to pay a lot of money for limited lousy internet service because high speed isn't available where I live. Having to download games can be challenging and takes a long time.

As mentioned, the disc and case are just clutter/junk. I used to like having a physical manual but these days most games have so many patches that the manual is full of outdated info.
