Physical books (and games) sit there on a shelf and you're occasionally remind you that you bought them and maybe should read/play them.

Items in a digital library seem much easier to completely and utterly forget about.

True, but on the flip side, items in a digital library generally don't have to be paid for and put there until you're about to use them for the first time, making it a little stranger that they never even get booted up.

Everyone's different, but at least for me, I don't buy a game with the hope I'll find time to play it sometime in the next month, I buy it when I'm ready to start playing it, like right now.
