A bit of both.

Reasons:

Digital- it’s already on the console and can play it without inserting a disc, and I don’t have to worry about the disc getting damaged since it’s already on the console.

Disc- even though consoles are moving away from having disc slots, I find that having a physical copy of the game is much more…nostalgic, in a way, having a physical copy of a really old game (like Halo CE or the original God Of War) feels much more cooler than just having it on the console digitally.

Of course with discs, you have to worry about it getting scratched or damaged, and with digital copies, making sure that the console doesn’t break, making you lose your games entirely

Either way, I like both of them, digital and physical discs.

Good points! There's benefits of both honestly. I just value physical items a lot and being able to lend a game to a friend or borrow one is really nice too.

And I find it nice to keep a physical copy of a game for a memento to an amazing series (for example I have the discs for all the Gears of War)

Yes! To be honest, it's really not that hard to look after your discs. Back as a kid, my discs would always get scratched on the Playstation 2 (and it would make the game freeze 🤣) but nowadays I treat them like the most delicate thing on Earth 😂.

I remember seeing ways of how to remove scratches:

Freeze the disc, cover it with toothpaste, wash it off and dry

The amount of times I tried that. Still don't know if it actually worked.

aren't digital games attached to your account and not to the console?

Nope.

Had an old Xbox one, it broke, none of my games saved to my account

I'm pretty sure xbox games are tied to the account, you just have to log in the new console

Sony does it, I see no reason why microsoft wouldn't do the same, specially when they have more user friendly pollitics

I'm pretty sure you're right. It wouldn't even let you purchase a digital game without a Playstation Network account. Maybe the case was different for Xbox but I doubt it.
