Yes digital is obviously more practical to install on modern systems. Especially when you get into issues with DRM like StarForce. I collected a lot of physical PC games in 2024 and got a Windows XP machine for retro pc gaming. But I'm not going to argue they're anywhere near as convenient and easy to use as digital games lol.
I also had to spend many hours getting patches for hundreds of games downloaded from old ass websites, whereas digital will sort all that out for you. It's much easier.
