Just a thought that came up. Whereas discs may become scratched and cartridges stop functioning within a few decades, digital media can simply be redownloaded if, say, your hard drive or cloud storage gets wiped. And this is regardless of whether you purchased via PC or console, as can be seen with continued support of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo in allowing consumers to redownload previously purchased content, even after support for online service and digital storefronts has ended (so long as it wasn’t a license to a game nor solely included in a subscription service).
What do you think?
