Inspired by an ongoing conversation in the Kickstarter 103 thread. I figured this would be an interesting question to ask the users here.
Nowadays, do you mostly buy games physical or digital? Also, as per your answer; why?
Me? I'm split between Physical and Digital. There is still a part of me that loves going to my local game store and picking up a physical copy and I like having that stuff on my shelf. I like knowing that it's there and won't just disappear due to licensing issues and stuff (which is the constant threat that plagues digital)
But I got to admit, recently I feel like I've been making the switch more to Digital. I sometimes look at it and think "what's the point of buying a disc when the whole game gets installed to the hard drive? The disc is kind of useless after that" also, it's just kinda convenient sometimes to have the game ready to start without having to insert the disc and such. Also sometimes you can find stuff on sale in the store (PSN, Steam, XBL) and grab it on a whim.
I can't really commit to one or the other so I tend to float between both. But how about the rest of you? How do you buy your games these days?
