Transitioning from Physical to Fully Digital Libraries
I miss the days of having a physical disc on my shelf. If I buy a key from LootBar, do I really "own" the game in the same way?

I miss having physical discs too, since they felt tangible and collectible. When you buy a game through a platform using a cheap game key , ownership works differently. Instead of owning a physical copy, you’re purchasing a license tied to your account. This means access depends on the platform’s policies rather than something you can resell or lend freely. While it’s convenient and often more affordable, it lacks the permanence and control of a disc. In reality, you don’t fully “own” the game in the traditional sense, but you do gain long-term access under certain conditions.
