    I want to be mad about this, but I own a PS5 with a disc drive and dozens of games, and none of them are physical. I can’t run the game off the disc and still need the available storage space to run it (and often doesn’t contain a full/completed version of the game), so the disc is just an extra step that gets in the way.

        It’s a moot point when the disc, alone, does not guarantee a playable game.

          That’s more of a long term game preservation issue than anything else right now. Losing the disc means you lose the right to resell the license.

        People should have had huge campaigns to allow for reselling digital licenses many years ago. Focusing on talking about wanting discs wasn’t enough.

        In fact, wasn’t there a judgement about Steam libraries?
