Physical media is massive for the global south and generally more impoverished people, you can buy used game discs much cheaper. Another reason why forced always-online for single player games is terrible, multiple reasons, but if you are poor you have less access to reliable data. If you are of lower wealth you more likely have less storage space and slower internet speeds also which makes it more inconvenient. I agree with the idea of digital only in that it takes less resources to produce but it benefits the corporate profits while hurting already disadvantaged people.

Another argument separate is preservation of media. By removing physical media publishers can maintain control of the property and cause the loss of media which could have historic, social or educational value. It would still be possible to preserve the data but with more difficulty either physically or legally.

Reselling discs, the option to have an offline copy that cannot be revoked, and consumer choice are never a bad options to have. I paid for the product, I should be able to do with it whatever I wish. Though most discs now are just a download code, we can demand consumer protection for the products they make us spend ridiculous amounts of money to attain, and take back our right to actually own what we buy instead of having a license with a potential end date we are never informed of. Look at Sony removing media, and UbiSoft shutting down servers of single player games rendering them unplayable.

Yeah. I don't want to have a huge amount of Games in my Home. But I do want to own the license/game and there need to be laws dropped providing that kind of access.

It is a foul excuse by publishers that you cannot own a Game. Yes. I cannot own the Code or development tools. But I can own the fully functioning game. We never got that to begin With. It is all about control.
