91-100% has a lot. I guess a significant portion of people here don’t play Steam games and rarely play indie titles. Sad really.

I don't play pc games and i get physical indie when available. Otherwise i wait for a sale a few years later.

Within like five years I've gone from 100% physical to 100% digital. The convenience of it destroyed any sort of nostalgia I had for the old ways. I have no desire to have to carry around games or boxes of games ever again.

Do you spend most of your time playing away from home or something?

As for me, none of my games leave the living room anymore. And except for Halo's multiplayer, I pretty much play nothing but single-player games (even in fighting and racing games, I always play against the computer). If I do happen to play over at a friend's house, they usually have the same games I do. If not, well, I never felt it was a chore carrying around a single game with me. I used to play Halo CE LANs at friends' houses all the time back in the early to mid 00s, with all the requisite hauling around of my Xbox, its controllers, and my copy of Halo, and I never thought "How inconvenient." Now that changing life circumstances for my and my friends have made LANs a thing of the past, that's no longer a concern, and I do pretty much all my gaming at home.

I game at home mainly, but for planes and road trips in cars I want to take as little as possible. Also, when I game at home, I don't like sitting in front of the TV nonstop so I'll switch rooms I'm in, or sit on my deck or something. I like the switches portability not mainly to leave the house, but rather to be able to relax wherever on my property I want to and not just the room with the TV. 

And I'm just used to digital now. I don't want to have to walk to the room with the cartridges and swap something out. I want it to be with me at all times.



No problem with DRM-free digital, but due to such digital not being available for every game, and having a horrible connection too, I'm still mainly physical.

Haven't bought a physical game since Metroid on the 3DS and that was only because my SD card was full. Before that, maybe Rise of the Tomb Raider on Xbox One.

Every physical game that I own for PS4 and Xbox One I went back and bought digitally. Every BC game that I want to play on Xbox One, I purchased digitally. It's just so convenient.

Oh yeah, I also bought BotW physically with my Switch just to have something in the card slot.



I have been over 50% digital since around 2010, and about 90% digital since 2015.

I'm usually pretty chill but if I drink I sometimes get a little physical.



Physical unless:

1) No physical version available, or not available for a reasonable price (LRG)
2) Crazy humble bundle offer.

All-time perhaps 95% physical, with 85% of recent purchases.



All physical for me. I like actually OWNING my games. And the nostalgic feel of having a physical copy in my hands. And people able to trade in/sell them if I see fit, can't do that with digital.



All digital on PC.

I only buy physical for my Switch.

Last thing I need is for a Switch full of games to break after the system been discontinued.

I wonder why no people wanted to make the pun first ...
