Yup. I play almost exclusively on PC and I have absolutely no worries about my Steam games disappearing. Even if they do, they're still way cheaper than on console, and I'll have the piracy option available.

So it's a mixed bag. If you're buying digital, PC is better, hands down. If you're buying physical, PC is essentially a non-starter because few games are still available on physical media.

So true. The only physical media I have for PC is the micro-SD card I have in my Steam Deck.
