Same goes for any digitally purchased titles on console. Additionally, physical media doesn’t last forever. In fact, the day your NSW cartridge stops functioning could come sooner than the day Nintendo no longer allows you to redownload your digitally purchased games. |
In this case I stand corrected. Indeed, I will try to download the DLC for Fates then when I replay the game, thanks for the info
And it's true physical media don't last forever which is a good argument in favor digital
The issue with digital is not the digital media per see, but the lack of ownership and the fact you are restricted to whims of the market. It's a structural issue, mostly. Consoles being closed platforms make everything just harder to preserve. Steam also suffers from the same issue because of the DRM
In this case, GOG is much better. Once you download the file, the file is yours. You can save it on discs, drivers, cloud, etc
I really wish we had legal precedent for digital ownership. If you litigate to get life-long access to your digital games I'm sure most judges (at least in my country) would give you the rights, because in Brazil laws came before user agreements when defining what is valid, but it's very buzzy work
