Do you still prefer physical games or digital?

Hi everyone,
I’ve been wondering lately if people still prefer physical copies over digital games.
Personally, I like collecting physical games, but digital is just more convenient sometimes.
Do you still buy discs/cartridges or mostly go digital now?
Curious to hear what everyone prefers and why.

telekill:
Absolutely. If given the option, I'll opt towards the physical edition. The only time this doesn't apply is when you're buying a physical game but the actual game data isn't on the disc or cart. This hits hardest in the newest Nintendo gen with Switch 2 having game key carts instead of game carts on quite a few of their titles.

kamikazekeeg:
I'll always support physical, but I'm also a PC gamer and PC has been digital only for many years now, so I do both. I reserve physical to consoles these days, which I have a PS5 and I still have my Switch games even though I don't have a Switch at the moment.

sworddude:
Physical or bust.

if buying ain't owning sailing the seven seas ain't stealing

Same here.  Physical for anything console related (unless the price is too good to pass up), but I also love my Steam Deck, and there's no actual option there.
