Are physical games really so important in this age of patches and DLCs?
I think resale value is a big part of it.
I loved digital download last generation, I wanted everything digital... But then I decided to sell all my older games (N64, GC, PS2, etc) and was amazed at how much they sold for, and it opened my eyes to the lasting resale value of physical games, especially Nintendo ones.
And now I feel like I'm throwing money away if I buy a digital game that's available on cart. Although with the Switch and lack of install option, the convenience of a digital library is a big draw, so I'm still conflicted... So far I only have Zelda physical, but I'd like Mario physical too, and Doom, and Skyrim... and
