| Frogger said: You can buy, collect, and resell things now, with digital media. You just have to sell your system. On pc, you can buy an SD card and put it on that and you literally have a game cartridge. In fact, you can do that 100x and make a business out of selling physical versions of Cyberpunk 2077 with a box and manual and a little cyberpunk sticker on it and everything to make it collectable. The thing is, doing that is making a copy, which is copyright infringement. |
Digital games are associated with your Microsoft/XBox/AppleId/Playstation account or whatever. There is no resell option. There is no official box to put on your shelf.
To be fair, I suspect that the days of games that get to a "final state" you can put on a disk are mostly over. Mostly companies will want you to have a monthly subscription which requires changes, and events, and updates. Then you can play it as long as you continue to pay monthly.
