Sorry but the premise of this article is a bit silly imo. Physical copies, even if it were true that all discs are soon doomed to stop working (in most cases, they won't for a very long time), they are still better for preservation and you have control over the product you purchase. You can lend it to other people and even sell it to others if you want. Physical copies are often much cheaper than digital and in the case of some, are better value when they come with the DLC built into the disc build. So much of this misinformation comes from the false belief that physical copies only act as download triggers which in most cases, isn't true.
