they weren't completely wrong now. on thier own financials, its mentioned that only 30% of game sales are physical. physical buyers are now the minority.

I'm one of those people. I just can't be arsed to get up off the couch and put a game in. After work and kids I'm beat and just want to pick something and start playing.

basically market has always shown convenience often trumps ownership, music streaming, video streaming, games now. ownership is the vocal minority

I've also just learned over the years that I just don't go back to stuff all that much. If I finish a game, that's it I'm done. If I really want to go back in 20 years there's probably a PC port since there are very few console exclusives or just emulation.

I play multiplayer online games, there's really no "done" if you compete with other people
