I buy physical when possible. I refuse to buy digital, unless the game is less than $10.

The developers benefit the most from digital though.Wouldn't you prefer to keep the developers out the streets; instead of people that had nothing to do with the game?

Developers don't receive any additional benefit, whether you purchase at retail or digital. The publishers might, but who gives a fig about those greedy sobs!!! Those guys would happily to kill off your favorite franchise in the blink of an eye, if it did anything to make their spreadsheets look even prettier...   :(

Developers don't receive any additional benefit? That's kinda absurd as if they're games are profitable, they're far more likely to remain employed lol.

Always Physical, apart from when the game is digital-only of course.

Physical all the way. I'm at the point that if I see a digital only game that I like, then I'll wait a few years to see if it ever gets a physical release.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

Age plays a big factor in this conversation, as you get older and have much more disposable income. You will start leaning to the convenience and prefer less clutter that digital offers.

Also if you own a switch, it doesn't really make much sense to go all digital. There internal hard drive is so small and cost to buy an micro SD is pretty expensive for limited space.

I think every one that said they buy all retail are lying, unless they live in a remote area without access to internet.

I live in the city, I buy all physical.

What's your identity on your console? Gamertag, PSN ID, friend code, etc.

Physical unless an only digital game/phys price outrageous.

I try to go physical on PC too, but with mixed success because of... well, not enough PC games are retail nowadays.
