physical because you don't want some mean lady in some company to have control over the money you invested (ie steam and ea stuffs and things)

It's all part of the big illusion that we perpetuate on ourselves and in turn is perpetuated upon us. When we believe, we engage the illusion. When we stop believing we shatter the illusion and shatter ourselves in the process. Because we are, part of it.

You still have a serial. You can use that key on any physical copy if you want.

Physical copy, every time. I'd much rather have an actual product that I own and can hold in my hand, as opposed to a license to play a game that can be revoked for any bullshit reason.

Sadly a serial is the same whether your purchase is digital or not.
So any game requiring a serial, physical or digital, has that issue.
Only if the game does not require a serial and the download for your digital copy is bound to an account you'd have a problem if you owned the digital version but I've not yet encountered a game where this would be a problem.
Except games integrated with steam but the physical versions of those also require a steam account so that also kinda proves that it wouldn't have mattered which version you had :/

The only time I will consider digital games over physical games is when they make it so my digital games are managed by me and me alone; not some internet regulation server I have no control over.


I agree. Steam is very clear about what happens if they decide to take your game off of their environment. I do enjoy Steam but would rather control my games.

If steam took my games off worst case I'd just go and pirate them (not much reason too, most of the games being released now aren't worth the space on my hard drive much less to care if steam go rid of it).

I know a lot of people that buy physical copies of the game and then turn around and get a torrent because the DRM on the game is too much for their system (never had the issue myself, 8 cores gives plenty of resources for some silly DRM to chew on if that's what it plans on doing).
