Even if you buy a disc, you still have to download the game, and your ability to access that download is still predicated on owning a license that can be revoked, cuz that license is tied to an account (Xbox, PS, PC)

So no, you don't get anything out of owning a disc other than being a console peasant.

I WISH physical games were still around as I miss the big box PC stuff, but welcome to the future.

You do get the ability to sell/trade in/loan the game.

It installs from the disc, not downloaded. If you don't have any internet access, it will install the game from the disc. It loads much faster from hard drive, so everything gets loaded there.
