As long as you still have tens of millions of people pre-ordering GTA6, nothing is going to change. People bitch and whine but they keep eating the slop.

Lol ask this same question on Tiktok and Instagram it'll probably swing 71% the other way
No one on those platforms buys games anyway. They're too busy playing mobile games.
You mean that corporations are going to collude to do the thing that nobody fucking wants?
No way.

I almost never play games but I've bought a bunch of physical copies of games I want to play. There's already SO MANY good games I haven't played yet that If new games are digital only I'll either go back to older consoles or piracy.

"I'll miss buying physical games" is not exactly a measurement of outrage.
This is why we have governments and regulations. The current situation is one for consumer protections to step in. There needs to be a legal way to "burn" any game onto a physical media for archiving, preservation and transfer purposes. This needs to be written into law and enforced.
