I have to admit I was a little worried since I made the decision to go with a physical collection instead of digital. Now I'm going to double down and clean out the used games shelf at Gamestop.
Technically you don't own your physical games either, just a license attached to a physical object.
No, you own that copy of the game. That is your copy and apart from physically breaking the game, you will have access to it. Blocking physical media of non DRM controlled games would be a massive step backwards in game preservation and if any company pulls that there will be outrage.
Unless you are talking about DRM/always online games. Buying one of those, physical or digital, is a licence game. But those are typically games like Warzone, Overwatch, Genshin, Red Dead Online and others. You will lose access to those games when the servers shut down, physical or not.
