Being able to still download old purchases is my biggest thing. I'm glad they aren't removing that
This is my biggest reason for not buying the latest gen consoles. They lean heavily towards digital downloads, and I want to be able to unpack the console in 20 years for nostalgia and play a game without worrying if the game store is still available to download it.
There are physical disc versions, but I get the feeling even there the games won't work out of the box without and internet connection to the online server/store
in my experience the "physical" copy of a game now, only gives access to installing a game. But I dont really use consoles so maybe I am misunderstanding how it works.
