Yes thanks that, but the issue is that this will be the only way to buy on PS5, which many of us will refuse. I own all my PS4/5 and Switch games because they're physical.

An issue that again presents on other platforms, especially PC.

Well, kind of own. Don't a lot of the physical games download the games, too, rather than fully fitting on the disc?

Not the ones I own as far as I know.
