It seems Game Informer's death was... Greatly exaggerated

I see it in a different light. The people that were raised on digital goods finally have the money to purchase physical goods.

Might be both. I know a couple of 20s that love physical media. Its crazy to think about, but they stated their childhood was mostly screens and rectangles. They both like Vinyl which is crazy to me. They are working their first jobs too.

Just enough money to buy some physical goods, but not enough to buy so many that storage becomes a problem…

I think people are catching on to these digital services can remove things you bought or they even fold. You own a physical item it is yours to do as you please with it
