Physical games, via sharing and trading, is a massive console advantage over PC.

I've been stuck to digital outside Switch and... honestly... I no longer care that much about ownership and whatnot, digital is fine for my needs. But in the old days when I played video games religiously, physical was a big console advantage. You can pretty much play any game you want almost for free if you know where to look and don't mind the minor effort of listing, communicating, and waiting. I literally made profit out of some games I sold, though I typically gave my games away to friends (which means that someone else benefited from a physical advantage). I borrowed and shared countless games. You can't do that with digital.
