I don't count digital games at all.
Same here.

What if it is only offered as digital?
Then I don't even purchase it.

There have been very few instances that I've found something so amazing in a digital only format that I felt the need to purchase it. I don't really consider anything that I don't possess a physical copy of a true part of my collection.

I've basically felt the same way, but I'm softening on that position as the medium changes.  When possible and feasible I would always choose physical over digital as far as console/handheld games are concerned.  On PC, I don't care as much, but I really only buy smaller games there anyway, not AAA games.   At the end of the day, it's still just ones and zeros, weather they're on an EPROM, an optical disc, or a hard disk, I am finding that I care less and less as long as I can play it.

personally I think anything you don't own a physical copy of (cartridge, disc or card) shouldn't be counted in your collection. buy or free. I don't count arcade games i buy off Xbox Live because there's no value for buy or trade. I also wouldn't count a game like Skyrim if I downloaded the game and don't have the original disc. It's like downloading an emulator for classic games then claiming you own all these games in your collection. 
"Happy game hunting!!!"
