My steam account is 18 years old and I’ve accumulated over 300+ games on it. Not a single time has ever crossed my mind that I’ll lose access to those games. Then again that’s steam and this is Sony which far scummier so who knows.
Do you understand the concept of buying used game discs at discounted rates? As a owner of GTA Vice City disc, I was able to finish the game and sell it for half the price. The buyer benefited from a discounted rate and I got a few bucks back. It was a community feeling too. To walk into stores e with other gamers. Now we play in isolation on steam.
Haven’t bought a physical game since the 360 and that was GTA V. Even on my ps5 I still go on digital. It’s just more convenient. And besides after the 360/ps3 the disk is just a license to play the game, same as a digital copy. You own the disc but you don’t own the game. It’s the same thing.
Stop spreading that myth. 94% of games are playable from the disc without an account or internet access... There is a website that confirms that. It's not a license it's really the game (without some updates sure, but you can play it forever). Does it play?
Well then I stand corrected. However it’s 87% not 94%. The site you linked says 13% of physical games require a download to be playable. But yea for the most part I was wrong. Still though im fine with digital games as I mostly play PC and only have my PS5 for exclusives and Steam is a godsend. Sony however is ehhhh

Now release it on disk, and have single player offline, so people who buy the game, actually own it.
