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.
