What do you call it when you're halfway down the slope? That physical is shrinking and ownership is eroding is fact by now. That's the actual problem I have with the move to digital in general and subscription services in particular (where you're left with nothing when you stop subscribing)

I lost a whole bunch of digital games due to HDD failure, bought directly from publishers, can't remember what and where from, just gone. More anecdotal evidence ;)

You've yet to spell out the problem aside from your personal taste for collecting, and your personal issues. I lost a bunch of games while moving once, doesn't mean there's a problem with physical games. 

The problem is physical is declining, harder to get, more expensive to get, less extras if any left at all. It all started with digital games being introduced, and subscriptions services are only accelerating the trend.
