At least one of the companies has confirmed it will sell the big open-world game once a real physical copy is available

That's dumb, any "physical" copies of the game will just be a disc with a download code on it. I can't imagine them releasing n actual self-contained disc version of the game.

But you can share and resell the physical copies.

If the disc is just a download code, they can track that and tell you that you can't install it on a new console or account. In the age of 100gb games, discs don't really serve as install media anymore.
