what good is physical when it takes 5gb+ worth of updates to make it playable.
- Industry in general

Because if you have a physical copy, you can trade it for another game you want online at places like GameTZ, or just plain sell it, when you're finished with it. If you have digital, you just have a download that you're stuck with, regardless.

Yes and noo EVE online is an MMO you can download FREE has  every 6 month a FREE expansion and is AWESOME to play.

Worth my 15 euro a  month

also to note you can  earn ingame cash to pay for your monthly fee if your good means you ( as in i) play for FREE!

 

Also to note eve online is more than 10 years old and keep going for at least another 10 years.

Destiny is an  60 dollar online only simple FPS with rpg stuff packed in it.

its stupid as fuck and should also be offline 4 player splitscreen.

Not any at all of a concern. Digital and physical, whatever the issue, not even in the radar of a give a fudge. I never resell any games anyways.

I'm dutch and grew up with Napster, Twilight and Crazybytes CDs.. Which were CDs with lots of illegal warez.. Making me feel that Digital isn't worth much money.. I mean our legal alternatives were waaay too late to party when everyone already had high speed internet.. I blame my childhood pirating for making me feel that there is a difference in worth between physical and digital and making me buy physical..

I love pirating windows. It's fucking great. As for games, I buy digital. Unless it's for a console. But those things take forever to download a game.

 

I'll get collector's editions for Blizzard games though.

It depends. For consoles, physical is the way to go because of collector/limited editions, and for some of us displaying doesn't seem like "wasting space". Kinda like a book shelf. Also, not every company will let you transfer some of your digital games to a new platform.

For PC, digital is the way to go. It's a different vibe for me when it comes to PC gaming, so I don't mind buying digital. Its cool to have one long list of games you've purchased and can download at anytime to play on any PC. Also, I suppose you can buy digital collector editions but I think that's just silly.

Being able to play all the games you want without caring if they are digital or physical or on the "wrong" system is the best way to go IMHO.

Many people would love to play game X or Y, but "can't" because they decided for themselves that they "go all digital" or "play only physical games" or "don't want to support Sony / Microsoft / Nintendo / Steam / Origin / Uplay / DRM..." or have other arbitrary reasons to waive on promising games. And if they are happy with that choice... good for them.

But many are always grumpy because they can't play interesting games due to their self-restrictions and bitch about those games / systems every chance they get. Then comes the downplaying of these games (often exclusives on the "wrong" platform or digital-only games) or systems and the attempts to missionize others to see it the same way and the insults to people with other opinions... and that can sometimes get annoying.
