> Physical. Feels like I actually own the game.

it's not just feels, it's reals.

people think they own their digital content until they don't. even outside of service shutdowns, people can find that they lost their entire account due to a ban (which isn't even necessarily from doing anything wrong)

like, in that paypal example those people probably got sorted out eventually, but who knows how long it took. there are also cases where accounts get hacked and there's plenty of reports of sony not being willing to reverse fraudulently made transactions on people's accounts in these cases, which leaves people with the choice of "eat the charges, or do a chargeback and get banned".

a physical disc will ALWAYS work. it can't be revoked, and it doesn't care if sony/ms/nintendo shut down their servers.

I like having the option of buying physical copies and being able to sell and trade games or lend and swap them with friends as I wish and I also enjoy having my own physical games collection and some come with collectors editions, steelbooks, booklets, guides or other goodies like maps etc.

Having the option of buying physical is one of the reasons why I prefer console over PC for gaming.
