I wouldn't mind the idea of everything going digital. So long as we actually own the digital copies we buy. So long also as we are able to continually access said digital copies. We wouldn't be having this physical vs digital debate going on for so long, if the practices of what companies like Sony and other media companies have been going about with handling digitally purchased content.

It's a very stupid easy of a solution that has been continually fumbled time and time again. Because greed got in the way.

Yah, it's a question of trust and the modern age has taught me to have none in corporations, even privately owned, linux contributing, solid things like Valve. As a data hoarder I'd really like to store my library, for offline usage, seems eminently doable, lightly hacked steam client perhaps, moving target, but that's OK for my old stuff. Anyone doing this sort of thing?
