In any format? I prefer to buy video games physically and have a respectable book, VHS and vinyl record collection. Though the majority of my music and video-based entertainment are digital.

    unlike with legal download sites where if it’s delisted, it’s completely gone even for downloads you already bought

    I don’t understand the difference. Can’t you just download it when you buy it? They can’t take away files on your device.

      If you lose those files and don’t have them backed up for whatever reason, and they’re delisted from downloading, they’re gone, or if they get corrupted for some reason and they’re delisted, you can’t just re-download them anymore.

          At least they won’t go away if the downloads for them are delisted, they’ll still be there for you to re-rip from.
