To be honest I kind of understand why they want to kill physical discs. What makes it not okay is that at the same time they don’t give you any possibility to fully own your digital media like you used to own your dics (even if these have DRM’s).
That’s why I’m leaving consoles and trying to buy on GOG when possible.
The real reason to kill disks is to create the zero ownership future that corporations and private equity have been salivating for. They are training entire generations of consumers to accept less and pay more while they will own nothing and have no good choices.
I’d love to see more commitment to actual digital products that enforce consumer-driven digital ownership. GOG would be a good example, but anything could be if legislation forces any web product marked “Buy” to follow a certain standard.
