Still better than relying to a third party server that can and will eventually shutdown and not let you download your licensed data anymore.

So far steam has been around way longer than the average lifespan of dvds and you can still share your game license with a friend

That's true. In fact is the only storefront I am trusting. I do all my gaming on Nintendo DS/3DS (cartriges) or Steam Deck

My first choice is always GOG because the best method is keeping a copy for myself. My second choice is Steam.

Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
