I'm more than happy to pay for digital in some cases. Indies being all digital is no big deal for me, because they usually go on sale for $3-$5 on steam after a few years anyway. Another time I'll get digital is if it's a game for a console that I don't own. KoTOR on steam, because Xbox is redundant in my household. Sony/Nintendo systems combined already play 95% of all games anyway. Civ VI on steam, because it isn't on any console.
But what I HATE, HATE, HATE, is when a game launches for $60 digital and then is listed as $60 on the steam store for years, only dropping the price temporarily for Steam "Sales".
Steam: Hey, an item on your wishlist is on SALE!
Me: Oh wow really? Good.
Steam: Yeah, it's one SALE for $30!
Me: You mean the exact same price that a physical copy went for last year? That's not a sale. -_-

With Best Buy's GCU all the $60 games are $45. I realize though, that not everybody lives in the U.S. and can take advantage of this. Aren't physical games $100 in Australia due to taxes?
