Meh I love having a physical disc but digital-only is fine as long as DRM doesn’t prevent it from truly being yours and it doesn’t require an internet connection. Physical discs can be made to not work too.
For whateber reason sony could remove a game from the store thrn you lose something you biy forever.
That’s true. A physical disc could also come with a requirement to contact a server in order to work and that server could be shutdown one day. I’m not saying physical media isn’t better. I strongly prefer it and hope that it sticks around. I just don’t think that’s the root of the issue.
The root of the issue is companies will do anything to make more profit although they are already profitable by stripping people choice
100% with you on that one.
That's all folks! No more physical media for any of us because this guy doesn't mind digital only
I prefer physical media. My point is that getting Sony to keep it alive doesn’t fix the real issue.
