Yeah, having to install entire games on consoles starting in the ps4 generation was bs.
I originally leaned toward physical as much as possible, but these days, I pretty much only get physical games for my switch since it's a cartridge and it won't take up console storage.
Otherwise I'm basically all digital unless there's a really good physical sale, since 1. It takes up the same amount of space anyway, 2. Physical CDs are useless for preservation now that every game gets day 1 patches, DLC, and the goty edition often requires downloads anyway, and 3. Digital sales are more frequent and usually better anyway.
And ever since the Steam Deck came out I've been getting most of my games on Steam for comfort, and most of the games I play still work fine to this day, like Romancing Saga 2 or Digimon. Even BG3 ran mostly fine on it, and they just released a new patch to optimize further on the Deck. I still haven't bought a PS5 this gen since the only exclusive to catch my eye has been Astro Bot, and we know Death Stranding 2 is coming to PC eventually. I did buy a high-end PC for the more modern stuff, and my only regret so far has been Monster Hunter Wilds since it runs like absolute garbage.
We've all been predicting the end of Gamestop for years now, but I am getting more and more amazed that they can stay open when any average digital sale absolutely shits on their used game prices, and physical media is becoming a basic installation disc that isn't even complete.
