It's not about physical vs digital games, it's about ownership (popcar.bearblog.dev)

I made a new blog post giving my thoughts on PlayStation not making disks anymore, and the arguments around it.

I personally don't think most people care about physically owning media (and some people even suggested PC should start going back to physical). It's more about digitally owning your games.

That's the case with DRM. I do own my games, on a big fat HDD. While optical media literally rusts and still has DRM.
