:'''Digital Storage''': "Digital content can be censored or removed from online platforms by the provider or due to copyright issues. This can lead to the loss of access to previously purchased digital media. Digital content on platforms like Android can be especially vulnerable to access loss. Providers may remove content from digital stores due to censorship, copyright issues even after purchase, or simply decide to delist the software entirely.[https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/12246761] Digital content on some platforms like Android can be especially vulnerable to access loss. This is compounded by the lack of interest of preserving mobile software compared to other platforms, many older applications and games become unusable over time due to a lack of proper preservation efforts. Even those successfully preserved applications with their associated APK and data files can still face hurdles due to restrictive copy protection methods like defunct activation check servers."
:'''Physical Storage''': "Physical media offers more control over access and censorship. Once you own a physical copy, it cannot be easily removed or altered by a third party."
