Junk would imply having no monetary value. Which is exactly what a digital library has. Physical games meanwhile are still worth money after being purchased and people will have switch physical game collections on their shelves worth over $1k and for the very large collections much much more. |
I only have 88 Switch games, and my collection is worth $3000. It's a medium-sized collection of Switch games. For people who do limited runs and indies as physical, their collections are enough to buy a car.
People are complaining about physical price hikes but a digital game has a value of $0 after purchase. A physical game still has value. This means that when you buy a physical game at $80 and it is still worth $30 years later you are really only paying $50 to play it. Meanwhile if you buy a digital game for $70 it is worth $0. So you are paying $70 to play it. The cost to play is cheaper as a physical copy. This is especially true if you like to try out new games that might not be a home run. Bad games can be sold as physical. With digital bad games are in your library forever.
