I have had at least one game where the disk was just a Steam download key, so technically a physical disk (for your collection!) but also all the disadvantages of digital distribution.

Came here to say this.

It isn't the disc that's important, it's the ownership - the ability to make use of your investment without depending on the manufacturer after the sale.

It feels like almost nothing works without Internet connection anymore..
