GOG is the only company that does digital games correctly. You can download the game and use it anywhere without limits. iTunes is the same way for music. So game preservation is best there.
However, this nonsense of only being able to download or play a digital game on hardware that has a 'license' is not my favorite. Nor is it great when the original hardware is gone, and you have to depend on future carrying the digital license, which isn't done often.
So I always buy physical. I can switch between systems as long as I have the games. But it will be harder to switch games around on systems that require online to transfer them.
If more companies followed the GOG model. I would actually have reason to buy digital beyond those crazy sales where the game is 90% off.
