So (and yes I know there are other ways around it but it’s a huge issue with three Switches and two children and me being away for the odd week), I now have three copies of Splatoon and Mario Kart 8. Why games companies can’t emulate Apple or Amazon in terms of a family unit and allow sharing of purchases is absolutely beyond me.

I have to say I had stopped buying physical games on my Switch quite some time ago… until this Christmas when I bought both of my kids Switch Lites and then discovered the abomination that is Nintendo’s family policy. I won’t be going all digital anytime soon and appreciate having a choice as to how and where I purchase my games.Ĭompetition is a good thing, despite what Microsoft think!

I have already more than recouped the additional cost of my disc version PlayStation 5 with similar deals. When I finish it CeX will currently buy it off me for £5 cash. Only this week I purchased a physical copy of Doom Eternal for £10, brand new, from GAME.

That said, the number of smaller indie style games I buy has been on the increase – especially with regular sales – so while I’ll default to physical for many games, the absence of a physical version means the majority of my purchases are probably still digital overall. Not that I’m always selling games or trading them in but every now and then I’ll have a little purge and get some cash back, which I obviously can’t do with digital copies that are often just permanently deleted to save storage space. It just means I can sell games on if I know there’s little chance of me going back to them when I’m done, something that’s fairly rare nowadays.
