    Good. The games I’ve got on physical disc need installing, and the disc is effectively only proof of ownership at that point and is only needed to start the game. Plus I see no point having to install a 32gb game from disc, then having to download multi-gb updates for it.

    I also don’t need a disc getting misplaced/broken. I’m fine with digital, so I don’t need or want plastic pollution either.

      I get the sentiment, discs that just get the ball rolling on the install and don’t actually give you the game in a playable state offline feel just as pointless as a code in a box if you keep games and don’t trade them in for cash/credit.

      I really wish that games still read off the discs themselves instead of installed to storage. I hate having to manage console storage when you can only play like 5 games at a time before having to delete and reinstall something and you wasted your whole night on that instead of playing a game.

      And for those that care about preservation and ownership: Physical releases on DRM-laden consoles aren’t the solution either. DRM-free products on a free platform are.
