[My_King]

Buy all mine from Raru, first Im a collector and 2nd I like owning my games, not renting them.

Depends on the game, but mostly digital.

But for a game like Starcraft or Witcher, physical copies all the way.

BT games + PSN + Steam + GoG

 

[netstrider]

Can't remember the last physical copy of a game I bought. Might have been Half-Life 2.

Digital = Steam, PSN and Humble Bundle
Physical - Koodoo, Takealot and Raru

 

[PoppieChoffel]

Switch, XBO and a PS4, and I generally only buy physical if there's a CE I want otherwise all digital. Preplayed in stores for PS4 1st party titles for the few I'm interested in is pretty nifty.

Laptops don't even come with a DVD drive anymore. I have an external drive but even my old blizzard games I converted to DL version a while back via their website. Some of my old favorites that I had on disc like Civ IV I actually bought a digital version too on sales just for the convenience of not having to use the disc anymore. I never plan on buying physical again although I enjoyed getting the boxes back in the day as a kid. Issue I had is I lost a disc or two that got scratched or broken and it was a big issue. Steam/GOG is just so much more convenient and the digital library aspect is just amazing. It is just superior now that internet is no longer a major concern for me. I did resist Steam etc for a while before I got an uncapped internet account a few years back but now that that blocker is removed it is clearly the superior solution.

I used the key on the box and just added it to Steam, bam digital.

Downloading is the most efficient way to me. I hate the fact that most the physical media are outdated. You have yo update the game immediately after installing.

Game Pass Ultimate pretty much...

For PS4 I used to get the odd physical copy, especially for AAA titles and exclusives to help when I eventually sold the console.

Steam & GOG, origin before steam got ea games. Will not use the local stores due to poor service levels. I haven't bought anygame from a physical store in 7 years.

 

[Barbarian Conan]

Steam, or Epic if they have a really good sale on.

It's better to pirate than use CD keys or G2A.

[cr@zydude]

For PC games, I buy from Steam, Origin, Epic and the like. The last physical PC game I bought was Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls.

I still pick up physical console games on the 2nd hand market.

 

[Polymathic]

@bwana add pirate as an option

 

[Rouxenator]

The only game you'll ever need is here.

 

[Progenix Oj101]

Occasionally I buy a new game (physical), but most of the time it’s either from a retro gaming WhatsApp group, pawn shops, Bid or Buy, eBay, Carbonite, etc.

According to the director of BT Games brick and mortar gaming stores might only be around for two or three more years - where do you currently get your games from? Are they mostly downloads or do you purchase the physical media?
