How do YOU get your games and do your purchases support retail companies like Walmart or game companies like EA more? Who would you rather support?

Physical unless it's digital only (or it's the free PS+ game I guess)

Overwhelmingly digital these days. If you take away PC games, then it is about even, slightly skewed towards digital.

Physical unless it's digital-only OR if it's a REALLY good deal digitally.

Mostly digital because indie games generally don't have physical copies

physical

seems like less of a rip off (why are they still full price?)

they go on sale more often

you can resell them

you don't have to keep fucking buying hard drives

the only draw back is space at your house

or if you're too fucking lazy to stand up and put the next game in, you have to move I guess

Games I have in physical form already in some other release (for example HD Remasters) I almost always go digital. Those tend to be higher replay value games that I like having access to at all times without needing to swap discs and such too.

Otherwise usually physical because I like box art and stuff. I still buy physical CDs from time to time.

Nothing to do with support really.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with support for me either, I just like having the boxes and that's all there is to it.

Even if there is a really great digital deal, I'll pass it up to get the box.

PC and handhelds: digital

Consoles: physical

I really don't want to have to bring a bunch of handheld games with me if I'm going somewhere.

I prefer physical if I have a choice, but I pretty much only play on Steam these days so I end up going mostly digital.

Digital, for convenience. No need to actually go to a store and hope they have what I want in stock. Nothing to do with support.

PC games digital, unless some store has a great deal...which last happened with DOOM...or some trinket...which also happened with Doom 3.

Console/Handheld games (Nintendo really only at this point) Physical unless its digital only.

Mostly digital. Truth be told, I hardly ever visit Gamestop anymore except to get PSN cards to use for digital purchases. I feel bad, kind of, but once you start accumulating physical games they wind up taking up a lot of space.

I'm mainly a PC gamer, so overall, heavily digital. Most of my Switch games are physical, though.

reasonably often. not so much during Steam sales, but for off-season purchases, it's often see game on sale -> buy game -> play game
