Physical, Digital or Both?

[EmmaMay]

Which would be your personal preference on making a purchase of a PC game, vote's are most appreciated, thank you

I used to love buying discs over digital but Steam Sales changed my mind!

Also I have no space anymore

i'd gladly take steam DRM if that means the game is integrated in a widely used social platform that allows me to seamlessly carry saves between computers, and interact with friends in-game. (like joining the same server on Gmod, watching their failures on KSP, drag them into a lobby on CS:GO and so on.)

I prefer physical tbh, because it'll require registering online to a service like Steam/Origin/Uplay, and then i have the option of installing from disc, or just downloading directly. 

But some old games aren't purchasable in physical format any more, but that's where Steam / GoG come into play.

And this is great for people with slow internet too

back in the late sims 2 era i knew a person that didnt just have a seperate shelf, but an entire shelving unit for sims discs.
