Comment on What's your preferred way of buying games? (digital/physical/physical digital)

I’m with you on most of your priority list, but would swap perpetual digital with physical.
I would also point out that physical need to be fully on disc, otherwise they’re at best as good as game key cards (doesitplay.org is very useful there).
I think PC gaming is unfortunately the only “sustainable” option nowadays to allow for both native games and emulation to run today or in a decade. With how console manufacturers, especially Microsoft, have been aggressively pushing digital, there’s little hope of having any physical backcompat in consoles moving forward.

Agreed on the “whole game needs to be on disc”. Was the reason I never bought Reignited Trilogy on Switch physically. No point since it was basically a digital game anyways.
