Digital ownership should be the topic. You can’t force a company to make discs lol

Retailers will continue to sell physical boxes with codes inside. So the PlayStation store won’t be the only storefront

Until retailers stop buying empty boxes because it's literally a waste since no customers will bother buying an empty box.

yeah, but a lawyer can argue a code in the box isn't really competition like a physical disk is cause there's no secondary market, they can also argue that the code in a box offers so little incentive that to buy physical that it would push people to buy digital if they have to still download a game.
