    The disc doesn’t have to have the full data on it…in fact most don’t nowadays and they require downloading the additional data from the store…so there shouldn’t be any issue here in terms of storage… essentially what a Switch 2 game key card is.

    It’s for a physical license and entitlement of ownership

    This is Sony wrestling away the last bits physical ownership they can take away to force the middleman out and make used games history. This is going to result in higher prices and significantly fewer sales

      I know you mean “sales” as in games being temporarily cheaper, but I think the other definition will be true too. Less people buying at all.

      But then you don’t fully own it when the server is taken down. Doesn’t sound like the solution people in this thread want.

        Having the full game isn’t possible anymore for most AAA games This is the only compromise…and they’re taking that away now too
