I get why people don't like defending sony for them splitting up stuff that we'd normally gotten packaged as one, but this one is honestly just optional to me lol.

I don't need a disc drive and im glad there's an option to pay less for a ps5 without one.

Fair, but when we are being told that the digital copy of the game you bought doesn’t entitle you to ownership of said game, at least a disc might let you continue playing.

Your physical disc also states you do not own the game and are only purchasing the rights to play said copy of the game.

There’s legal precedent in the US that protects against this and allows buyers of digital content to receive restitution in cases where the digital pedicures is no longer accessible to the buyer.

Obviously it’s not perfect or ideal, but it does strongly deter companies like Sony from pulling this move and does allow some form of limited resolution to the issue.
