shit can happen you can lose everything in a fire and what not. But with physical copies there will always be the option avaible to you to rebuy and play these games again

You say that like you cant do that with digital.
Infact say if your place gets on fire - your digital games will still be there because they are tied to your account (unless of course you are going digital on a Nintendo system l0l) - so the only thing you need to do is just buy the hardware and not BOTH hardware and the physical media.

These servers like steam, PSN and Xbox Live dont hold forever. One day they will be shut down and you wont know what will happen with your games

for me absolutley, if Sony, Nintendo and MS decide to make Digital Only hardware in the future then i am done with Mordern Gaming. I dont see the point why i should invest money into something which is dependent on these servers and linceses.
I much rather spent money on things i will be able to play even in 20 or 30 years from now on, no matter what. And its not only longevity but its also the fact that physical copies drop in price but they can increase in price as well. Even mordern retail games like the NA Devils third version becomes a collectors items @day1. Digital games can only go down and you cant resell them. Why should i spent 10-20$ for a 2D Indie game if i can buy SNES or PS1 games who do it better, are sometimes even cheaper and increase in value maybe?
The 8 Gen consoles biggest competitors isnt PC or Mobile but their previous console generations when it comes to my wallet. /rant

So if old games are good enough for you... why don't you stop buying and playing modern games right now? You can save a lot of money that way, it doesn't make sense for you to wait for the digital only era.

true but i still want to support physical gaming. I play and collect on everything mordern or vintage, every Wii U and PS4 game i have bought was new
