Is it worth buying a digital version of a game if I already own the disc?

-

Hey everyone! I’ve been thinking about whether I should buy a digital copy of a game I already have on disc. I own a day one copy of Watch Dogs 2 and I still enjoy playing it from time to time. Recently, I saw the digital version on a killer sale, but it feels a bit wasteful since I can just use the disc. What are your thoughts on this? Is it better to stick with my physical copy or go for the digital version?

I’ve bought both physical and digital to support game developers and to avoid switching discs. Sometimes, convenience wins out!

CasualGamerX -

Yeah, supporting devs makes total sense, especially for games you love like Watch Dogs 2.

I’d say stick with your disc! Even if the digital version is cheap, there’s something satisfying about having a physical game. Plus, it saves you that extra cash!
