Digital is the future, pal. When's the last time you saw a gaming pc with a disk drive?

And it's not like they're taking the physical options away.

I feel like the situation is a bit different for PC no? There's a history of backwards compatibility since forever. Yes PC game stores like Steam are all digital, but there was never a chance that the store would just close down when a generation was over, unlike in the console space.
