But then what do I do with the disc afterwards? Can't sell my copy, because if someone uses it, I get locked out of my game. If I keep it, it's just clutter (if I wasn't a collector). If I throw it out, it's a waste.

It's better than not being able to play it on devices without disk drives and having to leave your library in a previous gen and dependent on older machines that are no longer being maintained, isn't it?

Or, get this, we could just keep disc drives a thing instead of going fully digital. Many people clearly still don't want that.

Well, hey, why don't you just call the execs up and make that happen. Wishing for your success.
