You seem to be under the impression that I am defending Sony or other game sales distributors who are getting rid of physical media. That is not what is happening here.
I agree it’s shitty. I am pointing out the trend, not trying to mount a defense for a corp.
Video game companies still sell millions of physical copies of games every year, but that’s not where they make the bulk of their money. As Sony’s latest corporate report shows, physical game sales for PlayStation 5 and PS4 are practically a rounding error on a rounding error, and the number just keeps going down. The total percentage of revenue from physical software sales is now half of what it was before the PS5 launched.
