. 20 years from now when you dig out your old copy of borderlands 3 and there's no longer a download available, you think you'll get to play through the game?

Yes, games often come with bugs, but a game that comes out unplayable or unbeatable on disk is extremely rare.

This is, of course, discounting the fact that as part of community preservation efforts, updates are preserved along with the games.
