LOL yeah heard this mythical proposition before where they magically release a system update to force all physical games to cease functioning. Never gonna happen you have to make this fantasy real to make your argument work against physical, there's already digital games now that have been taken off all stores that have physical counterparts already out in peoples libraries that still work fine. If a console dies or gets banned you can just buy another and keep using your games i speak from the side of a Nintendo user as they are the only ones providing games fully functioning not just an install disk where you have to connect & download the rest. Digital games are tied to an account, if that accunt gets banned you are fucked no new console will save you.
This is why Nintendo is still great in this regard, as much as they have shitty practises least they still don't release install disks. I certainly wouldn't trust any of the 3 going digital only, any game i buy digital of i treat as a rental and keep a look out of a limited companiy to convert it to physical. On sony i treat my PS4 collection as mostly disposable as a lot of them needed updates to fix all the shit that wasnt finished in time. Thankfully the indie stuff tends to be all on the disk.
