Besides Gamestop - I think it could be important. What if the servers shut up in the future? How do you get your purchased games?

You download them and back them up. What happens if the disc is scratched or your buddy drops a blunt on it?

If they're purely digital and drmed you can't back them up.

I have backups of my PS4, with games downloaded from the PS store that say different.

Heck any Playstation disc games tries multiple times to get you to save it to the HDD.
