Physical media was already a car crash victim lol. Physical sales are like 10% of all console game sales. To make the top 10 physical sales charts in the UK and US a game barely has to hit 4 figures in sales.

    Designed car crash, aided by subsidized digital only console variants.

    No, because the digital uptake began as soon as digital copies of every game were made available on the 360. People like me have basically been digital-only since then. Digital only consoles didn’t start until generations later.

    Give up physical media and own nothing.

    Time to do some reading... https://dervis.de/physical/

    I don’t need to read anything. I understand the benefits and also the drawbacks of digital licenses.

    To me, and to most people, the benefits - instant access, all games accessible without getting off your lounge, no possibility of losing/breaking discs, home console/family sharing, no “sold out” chance, among others - outweigh being able to re-sell and lend to people.

    These days even the physical prices are not much cheaper than digital, and digital copies go on much better sales that are more available.

    Wow. This is definitely something that intelligent, well adjusted people say regularly!

    I don’t need to read anything this topic because I’m well aware of the downsides and repercussions of what I’m doing. The benefits outweigh them, like I said.

    Yes, the best people are closed minded and yell on the internet about how they already know everything they need to know. You're doing it, we're impressed!!!
