Why do Disk Drives matter?

That is such narrow mined thinking. Just because someone prefers it a certain way, doesn't make it worst or better or a true gamer or not true gamer. Each person has a reason why thy do it their way.

i.e. some collect because the collecting element adds to the excitement of gaming, some collect so one day they may share their gaming experiences with the children they may have in future, some collect because they simply want to be able to hold it in their hands (i.e. physical trading card vs digital one for those who have no physical space), some buy physical because they want to feel like they got value for money in their hand.

Nothing wrong with people doing what you mentioned. But those willing to give up gaming all together because of a format shows they don't actually care about the game itself. Example: If Valve made Half Life 3, and it was digital/Streaming only, I will still buy and play it because I want to experience the game, I care about the IP and the entertainment of the video game. Those willing to skip it because it's not on a disk, shows they only care about the format it comes on and not the entertainment the game is supposed to bring to them. Thats why I say they are not true gamers. I brought a VR headset just so I can play Half Life Alyx, format of a game means little to me as long as I can play it, I don't care if it comes on toast.

This is super silly lmao

You have no authority whatsoever to say who's a true gamer or not. Get off your high horse lol

Everyone plays games for different reasons. Idk what else to say to you
