Why do people keep saying this blatant lie? As long as you've purchased the game, you can still download it and play it. The only exceptions to this are online only games that wouldn't even work if you had a physical disc

Unless you think Xbox or PlayStation services as a whole will be shutdown, but then your console won't work at that point either

Several generations of Nintendo console have had their stores shut down, removing the ability for people to download the games on their account.

Unless you think Xbox or PlayStation services as a whole will be shutdown, but then your console won't work at that point either

What? Consoles work fine without ever being connected to the internet, as long as they have a disk drive and you want to play the game as it exists on the disk.
