Would you quit Modern Gaming if its Digital Only?

The first one is a legitimate argument.

The second one is bogus, because you can still redownload it. It's not damaged, your hardware is.

No difference. Something was broken. It was either the console or the HDD that you have to replace. The same would happen if the disc was broken. You're replacing discs with HDD's, are you not. I'll even argue the whole "don't need to leave your couch." Because I can pre-order the disc online. And it comes on release day. I don't need to leave my couch, either. The only thing i'd never be able to do. Is play it at 12am.

Except no, because a broken HDD is a hardware issue that requires maintenance regardless of if you want to replace the game. A disc goes bad, you can decide you don't need that game, but you still have a working machine to play on. A harddrive goes bad, and you're out of luck until it gets replaced, regardless.
