This should just be about choice, people should be able to buy physical copies if they want. Some people want the ability to resell the game, others might not. Of course, Sony wants to boost their bottom line, and that's best done through inconvenient DRM that leaves little to no recourse when things go south for the consumer.

    I guess the question is why shouldn’t a business get the choice, too? I’m not sticking up for anyone here, because the solution is not to buy.

    The business can have the choice, but not my money. The answer is buy an alternative that is DRM-free, that's the alternative a consumer does have if law isn't going to serve the consumer.

    There have been cases where labor law served businesses and not labor, and antitrust law also serving businesses instead of the consumer. Maybe some level of back and forth is normal as people learn things, but fuck that, the law is supposed work for the people with the voting rights.
