Fully agree.

Reasons why I only buy digital on PC

Yeah I like my physicals, but I acknowledge they are outdated and I keep buying them only for emotional purposes, but they will be over eventually just like CDs (I fucking miss CDs)

And companies aren't really expecting us to backup our digital games, rather expecting us to buy it again in some overpriced remaster, it's how it works 

Sorry, edited for clarity. 

And yeah, I miss CDs as well. I still have a ton of old foldouts from the CDs I no longer have. Great memories. 

The Coleco Adam Expansion Module expanded the Coleco into a home computer.  Or the Adam could be bought as a separate computer from the ColecoVision console (and still play ColecoVision cartridges).  The Adam did not come bundled with a disk drive (although one could later be bought separately).  So, the Adam's primary way to run programs was from Digital Data Packs (cassettes). 

I had a ColecoVision growing up, but never knew about the Adam until many years later since it came out so close to the North American Video Game Crash.  My family's first home computer was the TRS-80 Color Computer 2 from Radio Shack.

It's funny how the word Nintendo never fails to trigger you

Why would Sony patch that out after 8 years of not doing that? They want you to just buy a PS5.

This is why physical is always the way to go. Sad to see this happen, hopefully there are enough game repositories on the internet to preserve all of those games. Especially the PS3 and the Vita, their emulation scene isn't that advanced as of yet.

The first generation of CDs is already rotting and dying.

Also, I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing in your second paragraph? The data is physically encoded into the chip in mask ROM, the layout of the gates themselves is how the data is stored. As soon as the first bits are lost when the transistors fail, the software is corrupted and rendered useless. I'm not addressing an element on the board visible to the naked eye like a replaceable capacitor.

We also know for a fact that the Switch cartridges won't last as long as the ROM type described above because they use a proprietary kind of flash memory developed by Macronix instead of software masks. So, eventually, it will lose its charge, as it happens to flash memory, and all the 1s inside the cartridge will revert to 0s, resulting in complete data loss.

Keep in mind, this is just the stores closing, it doesnt remove already brought games and access to redownload them.
