As we buy more and more games digitally, the question of digital ownership often comes along. The weird thing with software is that you’ve pretty much always bought a licence to use that software, not the software itself. Whether you’ve got a game on a disc or stored on your hard drive, you don’t own that data; you just own a licence to use that data. One of the benefits of physical media is that even if that licence is revoked for whatever reason, you can disconnect your machine or console from the internet, put the disc in and probably still play some version of said game.

Hell, up until relatively recently it was hard enough getting refunds for games. Steam was one of the first major platforms to offer refunds, through a straight forward and consumer-centric process. Microsoft’s refund process is now pretty similar to Steam’s. It’s a little tougher to get refunds on PlayStation consoles, but at the very least Sony will let you cancel a pre-order and get a refund. Good luck trying that with Nintendo.
