The last physical game I got was Forza 5 when I got my Xbox One and only because it was bundled. I'd been all digital on pc for years before that. The last physical game I actually bought would have been for the Wii. I fully understand people's reasoning for wanting to collect physical games or trade in old games to save money though. Digital works well for me, it enables me to have the flexibility and convenience of having access to my library on a range of screens without worrying about sticking a disc in. I am not interested in collecting and I rarely go anywhere near a physical game shop, I just want to have the option to pick a game I want to play, buy it, download it and start playing straight away. I don't pay full price and usually feel like I get good value out of the games i buy, for me the digital future started at least 3 gens ago (I've had my Steam account for 17 years). Back then you could convert your physical copies to digital and I did so with a lot of old games such as og Half Life. I still have the game in my library whereas after a few house moves and plenty of water under the bridge I have no idea where those physical disks are now. There may be downsides for some with digital but an upside we all benefit from is that you cannot scratch, damage or lose a digital copy. That's got to be a massive benefit.
