How do you decide whether to buy a game physically or digitally?

This just came to mind, but Physical games. You can’t sell them anymore because you’ll barely get anything from it!

So the “you can just resell them when you’re done” mindset is pretty old fashioned nowadays

And digital is honestly pretty convenient but digital seems to have a negative outlook by some gamers.

How do you decide?

I am not a gamer, but I understand that software companies that make games, like to stay in control. For example, if you buy a digital gave, and the software company doesn't want to maintain the game anymore, all they got to do is turn off the servers, and the game goes away. But if you own a physical copy of the game, they can't take that away from you.

Are you talking about multiplayer games or single player? Because they’re different

Physical, you buy them towards the end of the market so the margins are minimal

? Towards the end of the market?

Second hand or after a year so no one cares... in the past year I bought a new title for less than other deals wanted for it used

You don’t play the game when it comes out? How do you wait that long?

My business takes up 70 hours a week... I'll be lucky if I get a few hours a week gaming
