Because gamers will keep buying their crap.
No one gave a shit when Nintendo did its digital game key shit on the Switch 2. People will keep buying PS5 games.
The moral outrage is just that. Morally aligned. A company without morals gives zero fucks about moral outrage.
We need a capitalism outrage for this to matter to a capitalist aligned company without morals.
I think people cared less about Nintendo’s case because they allow 3rd parties to make physical games that are just a digital key, but they won’t release any first party games that way. (Not exactly convinced they won’t eventually change this policy, but that’s what it is right now)
That’s why I pirate unless it’s DRM free and doesn’t require an internet connection after downloading the installer.

Documentbecause what you buy is what you support. and a lot of people support this shit. Buying stuff from companies should be viewed as sign of endorsement of their actions.
Because they won’t be forced to lower the sale pricenin proportion with the lowered production cost.
We sold our futures for magic beans when we decided it was “fair” for a store to charge paying customers extra to cover losses incurred from theft.
Development costs are much bigger of an issue than production costs. Physical media disappearing changes nothing about this.
Since you seem to need someone to spell it out for you: the point is that they’re doing it because they won’t be charging any less. And you’re almost right; devopment costs don’t affect production costs very much at all.
I always see the New Text Document in this meme. It adds authenticity.
You don’t need to do anything to “turn your physical game into a digital one”, because the same package you deliver for a physical game to 1st parties are used the same way for digital downloads.
Games going digital is not a fucking dystopia. Jesus Christ there are people being killed and put in jail for moving a box. Get a fucking grip and quit fucking buying their garbage.
Agreed, going digital is not a dystopia, but then revoking the games you “bought” is indeed dystopia, these companies have digital games with DRM that only work as long as they give you permission to use, that’s the dystopian part where you own nothing and be happy, I personally prefer digital, but when I can actually own it and not be locked out of what I buy.
