I will get disliked but I will say it.
Discs are dying because of their low storage, high price per GB, reading speeds and no demand since internet speeds got very high.
The problem is not the discs disappearing. The problem is that we don’t own the data we buy.
When I’m fucking paying for a software, I am not paying to use it, I pay for the data, the files and to do whatever the fuck I want with them.
You can copy songs, you can mix songs, you can fucking alter them, because you own them even if you buy them without a disc.
Do you want not to sell discs? Fine. Let me download the image file and store it wherever I want.

Your right, I think most are taking the news hard as discs were seen as the final hold out of I brought something and I own it.
We’ve changed from media to media its just that at this time, we are at the tipping point, and as of tomorrow (2028) we will have zero options to buy a game and own it (on consoles, yes GOG is a thing)
