Physical mediums aren't gone - they are just all HDD and SSD now.
I switched from CDs to HDDs two decades ago. HDDs are still great as physical long-term storage.
Your digital is just HDDs and SSDs in someone else's computers.
Backups can always use all of these. Doesn't matter how scrappy it is a couple of hard drives with a parity in running true as/freenas or just Debian with Mergerfs will last you a lot of years.
Cassettes made a bit of a resurgence recently for audio cassettes though I would never want to return to those days for games.
You don't have to play their game just wait it out Sony and Xbox aren't doing so hot financially ATM.

I feel sad Radio Shack ran out of business bc now you have to be at least 30 years old to know you can still acquire rippers for $10 to rip/burn dvds, cds, and games. I still use my first Xbox and my latest PS5 as DVD players. The most expensive part is storage atp.
Dont lose hope yet. Im (barely) under 30 and have one of those.
I've still got my tapes.
missing the next guy to the right "subscription"
One day digital is also going to die and we will be forced to stream games on a crappy service that costs 50$ a month
My library is still lending cd dvd and blueray…
And i am still ripping them all to use on a digital consumer device thanks to a specific local law that ruled people who own an mp3 player can rip cds from libraries to listen on the go.
