Digital, is it really worth the aggravation?

Really I laugh when people talk about digital being the future, as in near future. We are decades away from digital even being close to taking over. This gen, the average for the big games has been ~30% digital. That's a good chunk, but that's hardly the kiss of death to physical.

30% of the main games may be physical, but 100% of season passes and DLCs and pre-order bonuses and many of the smaller games are 100% digital. Even on most consoles, the total digital revenue will be already higher than the total physical revenue.

And if you look at the big picture and include the video game revenue of PC and mobile, digital ain't the future, it is the present.

Unless you're like me and wait for Game of the Year Editions that have everything on the disc.  Still, I doubt companies look at it like that.  They are looking at how that game is originally bought, that even opens the gates to DLC.  And that is mostly through physical means.  That isn't going away anytime soon, regardless of how smart it makes people feel to think so.
