Yeah keep that mindset and follow Blockbuster’s fate.
Besides Gamestop - I think it could be important. What if the servers shut up in the future? How do you get your purchased games?
You download them and back them up. What happens if the disc is scratched or your buddy drops a blunt on it?
If they’re purely digital and drmed you can’t back them up.
The DRM is the key part of that. So the answer is DRM-free, not physical media. Especially since all games get patched these days.
You can’t buy all games at GOG.
You can't buy all games on disc either. Also, not every game on Steam has DRM.
