No, because people can just burn their music on to CDs if they want to. But you cannot take a digital copy of a video game and transfer it to a physical medium without some kind of license from the owner of the intellectual property. The biggest reason to have physical copies of games is because you can sell them when you're done using them. You cannot re-sell a digital copy of a video game, as far as I'm aware.

Right, but that's illegal and not very practical, especially nowadays. The last time I trolled the internet looking for crack codes was in the late 1990's. It's much easier to just buy the thing on STEAM when it goes on sale or something. Incidentally, STEAM is a big driver of the digitilization trend in gaming. Surprised the OP did not mention it.

Most of the games I play these days are smaller indie games that never get physical releases, unfortunately. I do usually buy the physical versions of games that get released in that format though, but it's not for resale value. I almost never resell my games. I have almost every game I've ever bought still for sentimental value. I prefer physical copies when they're available because they use up less of my console's memory, which saves me money on memory cards in the long run (considering how many games I buy). Now they take up physical space obviously, so it's a trade-off of physical storage space for more virtual storage space, but that's worth it to me.
