→Physical Reliability vs. Digital Storage
;1. Access Control and Ownership:
:'''Digital Storage''': "While digital storage offers convenience, ownership of digital media can be murky. Unlike owning a physical copy of a game or movie, digital ownership often grants a license to access the content, not true ownership. For example: digital store platforms like Steam may have policies that restrict access to your digital library after death.[https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/05/after-you-die-your-steam-games-will-be-stuck-in-legal-limbo/]."
:'''Physical Storage''': "Physical media provides a sense of tangible ownership, even though some copy protection methods may limit resale or sharing options. Most of the time you still have greater control over your discs or cartridges compared to digital ownership."
