I would have been surprised if it was the opposite really. I've just changed my way of thinking. I used to be a physical media person, but once I got in my head the discs were now nothing more than license keys I quit bothering.
So far as a console-first player none of the companies have done anything to make me want their new products. There was a time a few years ago I might have thought of myself as likely to own both a Xbox Series X and a PS5 in the future. Right now, I'd say I'm unlikely to buy either. That's not a political boycott or moving to PC, but because they've lost my interest. New games have been so little fun to me. I think here it is April 20 and my gaming spending is less than $10 YTD.
PC games became keys in the 2010s, and yeah there should be a law that discloses whether a game is a physical copy or a key.
Switch isn't like that. You buy the cart you own the cart and you don't need to download any extraneous keys to play the games you bought.
You're spot on about the Xbox and PlayStation consoles at this point, since buying the disc is literally just access to a license key, and sometimes they may or may not work without internet connection, it's why I stick basically with Nintendo and PC and have ALL of my digital games backed up on physical hard drives.
With a few notable exceptions of games where they cheap out and don’t include the whole thing on the card.
I always buy physical carts for the Switch.
Nintendo would definitely be most likely to get the next of my business. For now, I'll keep what I've got. I do hope someday they improve the Switch a bit, I'm not a huge fan of the hardware. Doesn't matter really though, I've got enough games to satisfy me for a long time already.
I'm in the same boat.
I didn't even bat my eye at the PS4 and XSX since they have no good games, all their first and second party studios are compromised with extreme-Leftists and SJW content, and the prices... actually aren't that bad for the hardware but not enough to convince me to support such staunchly Leftist corporations.
Nintendo hasn't completely spilled their spaghetti yet, but NOA definitely seems to be heading int he direction as the other big two. For now, though, I've been limited most of my purchases to first-party Nintendo titles (that come out of Japan) and some indie carts here and there from Limited Run Games. What few digital titles I do have they're all backed up on an SD card so if the eShop ever goes kaput I still have my games.
But thanks to the mainstream gaming industry going woke, I've not bothered buying many games and now I just spend my time playing through my extensive Steam back catalog and getting more engrossed in the hardcore simracing communities.
