Are physical games eventually going to die?

[JackHandy]

Completely, as in no physical options at all? Maybe, but it won't be for a very long time.

But if you're asking if physical games will get to the point where physical music is currently at? Where something like ninety-percent of the population don't want them, and only stream/download games? Then yes... and sooner rather than later. I believe we're at a tipping point right now. I think next gen, consoles won't have disc drives in them. Possibly as add-ons, but they won't come built-in. And at that point, the party finally ends for physical-game lovers such as myself. Gamepass, PSN Plus and Steam will reign supreme. Nintendo will probably stick with carts, but since everyone else will have gone mostly digital, the bulk of their sales will probably be as well. Major retail stores will phase out physical copies completely like CDs (they kind of already have in the US)... and there ya go.

So if you love physical media, this is the last of the MohIcans. Enjoy them while you can. Because after this gen, the chapter in that story ends... for good.
