And as someone else pointed out in a different thread. No reselling disks or giving to friends.
Everyone has to buy their own downloaded copy per account.
And they dont have to soend the money for the reader. And the game company doesnt have to distribute hardware and can take more profit from the retailers.
At that point why not just play it on PC? Are people seriously going to buy a console that doesn’t even read a disk, just to download a game from the internet? (Or worse, play via a launcher?)
Also, are the games gonna be cheaper now that they don’t need to produce the disks and packaging, transport them, store them in warehouses, stock them on shelves, etc.?
If supply and demand were a real science, this would represent infinite supply, right? So, wouldn’t you expect the price to approach 0.00?

Are you seriously asking? Because I’ve seen time and time again, the answer to those kinds of questions seems to be yes. I think most people just don’t care, and they don’t need to, they’ll only buy a few games in a console’s lifespan to play for multiple years, and they’ll either just pick up what’s popular, or whichever one has a game they want to play.

Great chance to lay off thousands of retail workers ❤️

People already were, only 15% of PlayStation users are buying physical media.
Never gonna happen, lol (I’m ironic, that’s a tragedy).

Do they realize they can get their favorite console’s controller with a USB cable so they can still use it to play on their PC?
Nope. If you ever need a reality check, use your own family as a basline.
I’m sometimes reminded there are two Teslas in our family.
So you want me to use your family as a baseline, you mean? Ain’t no teslas in my family.
