I think its kinda retarded that people who defend Physical copies

>typos
>reddit spacing

>own physical games
>disc somehow damages
>download roms in future

but at this very moment, I own my game. regardless physical wins.

wtf did I just read?

If Steam goes down I'll just pirate those games

I already pirate physical games I own, because it downloads faster than finding the disc and installing it

True. You never know when the sun may drop out of orbit and kill us all.

wut

>using paragraphs is reddit now

>>381655125
Then explain games that were exclusive to XBLA and PSN that no one can ever play before.

What about games or demos like P.T. or Mega man legends 3 that devs don't want you playing anymore?

Its a reedit conspiracy.

I think its kinda retarded that people who defend Physical copies of a game use the If Steam ever shuts down you lose all your games argument. You do realize that in the far future when this may or may not happens. All the games on steam can simply be downloaded like we download rooms right now. And physical media is literally that Physical. Its under the effects of moisture temperature force radiation. It can get damaged and it can be lost. And if it does get damaged you lost the game forever unless you buy copies. I have 20 year old Discs that still work fine today. But then again i have some that no longer work because one file of the installation is damaged. Digital copies last as long as you have the files on your PC and as long as the service that provides them stays in business (steam does have offline mode so if you have the files of a game on your system and stem goes down you can still play the game).

the above is obviously better and easier to read.

I am not aware any of those games had physical releases.

not only the newest blu-ray discs are extremely scratch and moisture resistant, but they last a lifetiime, 70-100 years up to 150 years.
anyway, the real problem here is DRM

piracy > physical > digital

OP take valve's dick out of your mouth and stop shilling.

>>381655125
If Valve's servers went down you would just start steam in offline mode. As long as you keep all your games backed up on physical media they can't take them away. At most you'd have to download a crack. It would probably take all of a day for someone to release a cracked Steam API DLL.

>>381656182
Will your PS4 last a 100 years?

Steam DRM is so easily cracked it may as well not exist.

What

>>381655125
you still own the physical copy. You own the downloaded copy insomuch as it's a licence you've pain the right to have on your system.

Did they improve techniques with bluray? Because regular CDs already frequently experience data rot and it's only been a couple decades.

>>381657042
Depends on the conditions you keep them in. Well kept ones last longer

>>381656797
you technically own the same thing, be it physical or not.
difference is that it's harder to come to your house and remove your cds than it is to just erase your account
