The only thing that would make them consider changing course is if a significant portion of gamers refused to buy games unless they come in a physical format. Sony knows that'll never happen. People will complain to their heart's content and then happily plonk down $80 for the next big digital only game release. Capitalism largely works the way it does because people don't want to go without.
yeah i agree.
Which is gta. And yes, they will waste our time bitching about this and buy it anyways.
A SIGNIFICANT portion of people who buy video games already have already abandoned physical media and don't care...
Excluding Nintendo, ~5% of total video game sales are physical media.
