MODERATORS
with starfield also essentially being digital only, we're gonna start seeing the last gasps of physical soon.
I don't think physical will die so soon. But there are couple of other recent examples too, like Alan Wake II (and another big game I forgot) releasing as digital only.
I tend to agree for mainstream gaming - on Switch I buy much more digital than cartridge for the convenience.
That said, I'm buying more games on Evercade than on Switch lately, because I expect the Evercade carts to remain playable in my Arcade for decades.
I hope my Switch with what I can store locally will do the same, of course. But there's extra comfort in really having my Evercade games on cartridges.
