Difference is only nowadays the publishers can enforce it with digital sales and online DRM.
When it was physical media you could just give it away or resell it even if it was technically against the user agreement.
Thats no longer possible with purely digital purchases so now people are more aware of their "rights" but nothing has changed really.
Any store selling DIGITAL only is same where limited by platform, and can only access as long have your account, and service remains. PSN, XBOX, NINTENDO, Epic games, EA, Ubisoft, etc, etc, and etc...
If you want to own physical games your best option is Console, and buying ONLY physical copies, but be aware some games may require online access to game server, or service of platform in order to use, or to play.
Anyways if you're still confused about things just ask question, and someone answer.
I bought my first game at a store called Babbages for the original Nintendo with the $20 I won from my parents betting against the Buffalo Bills in their first of 5 consecutive superbowl runs back in 1991. Before that we had an Atari something-or-other. I have one of each versions of the Playstation collecting dust in my basement alongside a Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo, the aforementioned original Nintendo. I remember back when demo's came on a physical disc or you had to go to a game store where you could try games out for free on the store's equipment.
I'm not bragging or flexing, just sharing my reminiscence for anyone who is interested. I could talk about the history of gaming all day since I've been alive and active for most of it.
I guess my post was a realization aimed more toward people like myself who never really thought about what's changed and what we've lost over the years.
Walking the pretty streets at xmas was a cherished memory of their's. Walking the malls at xmas is a treasured memory of mine. Things change, and those of us with the misfortune to notice get sad about it.
But talking about it helps a lot.
Don't focus on what is lost, focus on what is gained. Digital distribution made games more widely available. In the past various games wouldn't come to my region via physical distribution, but digital distribution meant games became available everywhere.
I much prefer that. Also less clutter with storage, major pllus for me.
Live service games are really just one time things - If you don't like the fact that - that live service game closes down after you spent hundred's to thousands of dollars on it - maybe you should consider cutting your losses and using that money to buy single player games.
The plus side Digital sales happens more often, can be cheaper than physical copies either day one, or during sales at a higher discount than physical copies. There wouldn't need to worry of supply since digital as it's infinite.
But yes there always the trade of between digital, and physical it was clear since day one what it meant, where physical not limited by anything as long you hold your copy, unless you sold it, trade, or gifted it away, or unless you broke it then yeah.
So take it as you will there pros, and cons to both, it depends what matters the most, or what you're ok with.
Edit: With the exception of that - physical media is more of hindrance then it is a benefit.
Proof of that is I am using steam even when I was strongly against it 20 years ago
... and online shopping is soo much more comfortable than retail, that's a win in every way.
I do agree on talking about it helping.
I want physical media because it makes me feel nostalgic for the olden days before the Culture War took over the internet and when I was a carefree youngin instead of a bitter, cynical adult.
I'm perfectly fine with not being able to re-sell as the other benefits like discs not getting scratched, or not having to have an entire wall filled with CDs/DVD's far outweighs the negatives.
Same reason why I have so many kindle books now, I physically would not have the storage space for my books/games if they were physical, that by itself more then makes up for a lack of re-sale.
