Like I said before, my Steam games all work like there brand new while my Atari, NES, PS1 and SNES games struggle, some work fine, some have been damaged over the course of time and some clearly don't work at all. I own Warhammer Online collectors edition and that games server has been closed, with the disk or not the game wont work period. So if you are in the business to collect, than physical makes sense but if you are in the business for last ability than choose your poison because both have advantages and disadvantages BUT I say Digital have very little disadvantages than Physical and I say this as a 15 year Steam user.

All my old console games work fine, it's the console itself that has issues, I.E. Failing optical laser in the PS1 or removed the clock capacitor in my OG Xbox.
Nothing lasts forever. Precedent is there for online distribution stores to be shut down... Even those owned by big companies like Games for Windows Live!

Well if you are agreeing with me that nothing lasts forever than what is with the debate?
Secondly, not all game stores shut down, as long as networks like Steam are a thing, I will have access to my games and they do not deteriorate over time. If Steam did decide to fold, I am sure a major corp will pick them up as its too big of a eco to just close down. In saying that, unless the online shops close down, digital media will technically you last forever. < My entire point.
