I've lost far more digital games over time than physical. My ps3 died at some point and I could not get everything back. I either couldn't remember what I was missing or the updates weren't there anymore.

No, you didn't lose these games.

PS3: Go to Account Management ---> Transaction History ---> Download List

Xbox 360: Go to Settings ---> Account

PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, Switch, every PC game launcher: just look in the game library

The list is an undecipherable mess and extremely slow to navigate. I painstakingly went through it after I bought a new ps3 and simply could not find some of the DLC and add-ons I had bought like for example the DLC for super stardust. I did get the original game back but never found the add-ons. Of course with a disc I would have had the same problem unless I had waited to buy a disc with the complete version. @DPsx7 has a valid point.

Thanks to ps+ my download list is a terrible mess, as well as transaction history. I wish you could filter all the 'free' stuff out.

As for PC, I've bought digital games directly from the publisher, not in any game library. Can't remember the name of some I bought, just vaguely remember playing it, no clue who the publisher was. All my earlier PC games are in a box, ready to be installed again with all the manuals in reach.
