It does make you question our over-reliance on the digital format. What happens if/when access is controlled or restricted?

Not throwing shade on you, but I hate the term “digital” to describe DRM’d content.

There are plenty of unencumbered digital formats distributed physically that are unrestrictable. Red Book CDs/CD-ROMs, DVDs/DVD-ROMs, and to a certain extend Blu-ray/BD-ROMs (and lesser extent, but still possible UHD Blu-ray). At conventions indie devs sell digital copies of their games on flash drives.

There’s nothing wrong with digital media (defined literally). While I like physical copies, even file based digital media is mostly OK. The problem is DRM’d media regardless of how it’s distributed.

Store them DRM-free and don’t sweat it.
