I buy most of my games on blueray and for almost all of them I can’t play them because when inserted into the Xbox there is an update to download often the size of the blueray, sometimes +100go. Even on day 1 of the launch of a game I have to download a patch. Some games won’t start without downloading the patches.
The only reason to have a physical disk in the case of a game is to be able to sell it, otherwise the disk is just the key

That means buying games from platforms like GOG, Itch, and Zoom Platform, and then backing them up. Steam is distantly behind in terms of user ownership—their installers are always DRM‐locked, but some games can be run DRM‐free after that—and Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo aren’t even on the same planet due to their hideous DRM and online service tie‐ins.
