Does anyone still use game discs for pc games?

[Cassie]

I've stopped usin' them since my dvd driver hasn't worked for the past 4 years straight.

Nah, haven't used physical copies of games in quite some time. I do still have a whole cupboard full of all my old pre-steam physical copies though.

I have like 6-7 physical copies of games for PS4, but the other 200+ are all digital

i've only had 1 physical copy of a game in my life

'still use' and 'needed for actual game play' may no longer hold true since a long time ago....

blizzard retail copies still have installer dvds but one can just download the (bnet) client, login to account, and then download/install the updated game installer.

almost all pc games no longer require dvd to play in contrast to what was the norm 2 decades ago where you still encounter:

please insert cd 1 to continue

CD/DVDs isn't a matter of "choice", they are basically dead.

[Jej]

I still do. Hell, I often burn my GOG copies into DVD's

[SMIFFY]

Only for old games where there's no choice but to.

[HALO_run]

i still use em for games that you can't get anywhere, plus movies

[mmiwo]

Last game i have played with disc was Dead Space or Dragon Age 2. Long time since last time

I'll assume for the oldest games you have right? I wish I could play old game (which is on a disc) dumb dvd driver

Yes, but not exactly, some fairly "new" titles as well, like GTA V, Witcher 3, Mass Effect Andromeda. I prefer physical copies.
