Interesting choice of commentator.
I'm a PC gamer so I don't have a super strong opinion.
There is legitimate reason to digitize stuff. Physical media breaks down, as much as people want to pretend it doesn't. CDs scratch very easily. Leaving CDs on the table for a small amount seem to causes micro scratches, probably from the vibrations of people walking around or something. My family still rents DVDs from the library sometimes and the odds that a DVD doesn't work is pretty high. Compared to using streaming services to watch movies, it doesn't seem worth the risk of using a potentially damaged disc.
But yeah, the fact that digitization is usually tied to a service that can deny you your games at any moment sucks. I wish the StopKillingGames movement would take off and there were more neutral services like Itch.io and GOG, where if the services failed you could still play the game. I feel like hackers will probably still find ways to revive games, like how PR3 Reborn is technically a hacked copy of PR3 since the platform it was on failed.
