If my console breaks years down the line and I can't get a replacement then I won't be able to play both the physical and digital games. The only difference is that with the physical games I have something made out of plastic that gives me the false feeling that I truely own it because I can hold it in my hands. |
And I honestly don't get your argument. I own a Wii U with a huge (Wii) Virtual Console library on it. When my Wii U breaks down, I can easily buy a new console, but my VC library is lost forever. My physical games can be played on any Wii U however, I can even lend or sell these games. That's ownership. Digital is not.
Of course, that's on Nintendo and their archaic systems. But even on modern platforms, legally, there is no such thing as digital ownership. You have a license to play the game for as long as the platform allows you to. They can delist games and prevent you from playing without being able to do anything about it.
