| Should PURCHASED digital games count in your collection? |

I, too, am a physical media kind of guy. While I love the convenience of having, say, a bunch of stuff loaded onto my 3DS - the fact that I don't own it and that Nintendo reserves the right to take it away from me at any time for any reason... ugh. In my opinion - if you actually, truly own the game (like stuff you download from GOG), then, sure - it counts. If it's something that the terms of your purchase make it clear that you're just purchasing a license to the game and cannot (legally) resell it... then it's not a part of your collection. Now, if the game has some kind of remote server dependance (even if you own the physical copy)... that's virtually the same as having a game that the publishers can take away from you at any time for any reason (although there is always the possibility of hacked servers). I pretty much just avoid these types of games - which is why I've not purchased Civ 5, although I've got every previous version of the game, including CivNet... :( |

Same here. That's a level of OCD that's way above mine ;D |

I'm OCD as FUCK, but that's a bit much. Hell, I even cased each individual E-reader NES game, but digital download casing is beyond me. |
