I’d feel more strongly about this if I’d actually bought a game on a physical disc anytime in the last 3 years.

Am not surprised given how large games today can be. You can have a disk to launch the game when you first get it, but chances are the Playstation will still have to “update” it with the full resources… I don’t have a playstation, but FFS, I can’t even get the full Halo: Master Chief Collection onto my gaming PC - I just don’t have the drive space. Some game packages are huge today.

It really sucks, but unless someone was to come up with a way to cram massive amounts of a game onto single discs, or no more than two, it was inevitable. That’s not why they’re doing it, but still

Honestly, if I have to go digital, my money is going to Valve

I might get a used PS5 to play some exclusives when it can be had for cheap. But I reckon people will cling to theirs.

Didn’t Nintendo already start doing this with the switch two?
