True, but there's bad digital like Amazon Video, and good digital like GOG.

Yes. The thing people actually don't like is DRM, which can also exist on discs.

After digital: Direct brain implantation. IE all your games are stored in memory. And I don't mean RAM. It also isn't YOUR brain.
Definitive way to curb RAM prices, just use people's brains.
You could also sell part of your brain to openAI to offload part of their models for the cloud.
It's the matrix book but instead of cpu power is RAM storage.

Honestly 90% of the movies we want to watch aren't on Prime (which we happen to have for non-movie-reasons) and we would need extra subscriptions for each of them. It is cheaper and more convenient for us to buy used blu rays or dvds of the movies. It's 3,99€ to rent a movie for 48 hours (best case, usually it is some arthouse subscription) or 2,17€ for the DVD on medimops. We watch during lunch break so we usually can't make it through a movie in 48 hours without stressing. (My spouse does not want to pirate anymore and I support that.)
Our daughter has her own small collection of cartoons and anime that she can choose for a TV treat instead of scrolling through the endless void of the internet.
I love booklets too much to ever let go of CDs.

I still buy any new music on CD and regularly buy DVDS. I buy more new DVDs than Blu-ray actually.

Backups can always use all of these. Doesn't matter how scrappy it is a couple of hard drives with a parity in running true as/freenas or just Debian with Mergerfs will last you a lot of years.
Cassettes made a bit of a resurgence recently for audio cassettes though I would never want to return to those days for games.
You don't have to play their game just wait it out Sony and Xbox aren't doing so hot financially ATM.
Yup, been running my ~~plex~~ jellyfin server for like 15 years on Ubuntu server off of an 80gb mechanical boot disk.
