If it’s still being published or if a second hand copy doesn’t cost more than your buddy’s annual wage.

What fucking second hand games are you buying? Beloved classics aren’t that expensive.

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

The DRM is the key part of that. So the answer is DRM-free, not physical media. Especially since all games get patched these days.

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.
