I guess there are more considerations to take in with consoles though. I thought i'd be clutching my physical media but when I got used to steam it's better because a lot of my older PC games are scratched to hell and back and barely work. Though of course the risk is something happening Steam making my collection inaccessible.
I just remember before I went all in on steam, seeing physical PC releases with a download code card in the box and nothing else. That kinda soured the whole deal for me, but I haven't bought a console since the xbox 360(which I proudly never once took online), so I never thought about the different challenges with consoles.
Yeah, I stopped being so gung-ho about physical media when it came to my Switch...I still have a lot of physical games for it, but at a certain point I gave up. It's too annoying. I was able to get the majority of my digital games by just waiting for sales that are cheaper than the physical games will be. I used to stick to physical for 1st party, but now I'm getting tired of it. I'll still likely play my Switch for a long time, since I have so much to play. Backwards compatibility and price will determine how soon I buy a "Switch 2".
I've always contemplated buying a PS4 Pro or a PS5, but PS5 would have to price drop by a fair bit.
