I like physical copies but IME this is becoming no longer viable. I went to pick up a game recently from a shop that used to have massive game sections and the only had maybe a dozen switch games, nearly all of which were the more child oriented ones. The playstation and xbox sections weren't faring much better and I couldn't find the PC section.
Throw in gaming-as-a-service models and indie developers with zero retail presence being the only (non-nintendo) developers making games I like and physical copies have become a thing of the past.
