I think the more important distinction is DRM vs. DRM-free. Digital vs. physical is moot (for most people, excepting those with poor internet access) when you can create your own physical copies and as many as you wish.

The only physical games I buy these days are Nintendo first party games, mainly because I find their IPs iconic and I like having the boxes.

Otherwise I like the convenience of digital more.

You're missing the ability to sell games you've bought in your evaluation.

Doin' my part

Is Indy on Switch 2 fully into the cart? It's not fully on disc on PS5.

Anyway, nice to see.

If I may say so myself tho, your country rating system is so big for the boss and still has such a big space of written stuff following to the right. Does it bothers you?

That's one thing I think Brazil has nailed perfectly and make our physical game boxes look the best I've seem IMO. Here it's similar to PEGI, but it's smaller, perfectly squared, no text anyway, and has a distinct color coding for every age tier unlike PEGI that shares some.

The base game of Indy is fully on the cart, yes.

I'm used to the big ratings labels to be honest, they used to be less obvious, but apparently people weren't getting the hint as they changed them to be bigger and more colourful in the mid 2000s. Guess too many parents were grabbing GTA and such for their kids and not noticing the rating, then complaining later when they caught their kid going mature rated things in a mature rated game lmao. I still remember that being controversial back when I was a teen.

Game key card solves that for people who do that. I'd imagine other platforms will adopt something like that. People who want physical to keep their games forever and people who want to resell their games are mutually exclusive. Collectors are probably the people most affected with no real solution.
