To add to this, I also think that the cost of console games is a little higher digitally compared to digital purchases on steam, so the option to buy 2nd hand games or cheap physical copies (something I do all the time with my Ps5) is more valued compared to PC, where the sales are alot better in my opinion. At least with the series S there is game pass which is value for money.

Fakespot analyzes the reviews authenticity and not the product quality using AI. We look for real reviews that mention product issues such as counterfeits, defects, and bad return policies that fake reviews try to hide from consumers.

We give an A-F letter for trustworthiness of reviews. A = very trustworthy reviews, F = highly untrustworthy reviews. We also provide seller ratings to warn you if the seller can be trusted or not.

Personally I like having physical so I can look at my games when I go to pick one to play. I also played pc heavily for about a decade too, but it was during late 90's to early 2000's which also had physical games. I just like having something you can hold or look at. I also find it easier to keep track of what games I have to play in my collection vs a list of games on some software. It's why I still buy physical games primarily even now.

Going back to the good ole' days of plug-n-play games I see. But I think it will depend, I could def see Xbox doing something super minimal like that, but Nintendo, probably not. I don't think there is any one 'future' of gaming because people will like different experiences.

  1. I like the idea of owning a game, not just having a license that can be revoked at any time. That concept is getting more elusive, but for example when you don't have internet or there's a server issue you can't play your digital Xbox titles.
  2. The experience is different. I have had Steam for a decade and have dozens of titles, mostly bought through a Steam sale or a Humble bundle, but there are so many I can't actually play them all. Every physical game I buy, I will play for at least a few hours.

EDIT: Also, second-hand. I buy about half of my games used. I can also borrow a copy from a friend.
