Physical video games

[ILoveBatman]

Are physical video games safe or should i buy digital? I am not sure if the codes from physical ones are original or not. And also i am concerned about the fact that the sellers can open the case. Once i know that i didn't get the CD from the game...

Just buy your games from Steam and be happy.

Depending on where you're buying from you of course have the option to replace damaged and/or missing wares. Don't buy from shady second hand shops and you should be fine with physical copies (plus you can always activate the keys in steam and have the digital version as well).

 

Other than that: Just buy from steam and you're 100% on the safe side

Like any other product, even from official retailers they can be subject to damage or faults.

 

Other than that, there's nothing inherently "unsafe" about buying a physical copy as opposed to a digital one, provided you buy from a reputable store.

I buy physical games for consoles. I just think they’re far more convenient and actually safer to use. If you ever lose access to the server, corrupt your memory, etc. then you still have your games. Granted, you can scratch them.

 

For PC I might buy a physical game to have the shelf copy but usually just buy on steam.

Yea i know i have to buy form a reputable store from my country and i did that. And unfortunately my key wasn't available only after 5-6 hours and my CD was inexistent.

I just like to collect all the cases from my games and for that i will like to buy a game physical.
