It is because of discs, actually. Every single extra dollar it costs to manufacture them is like 5% of the revenue from the sale of the game that the publisher loses out on. That’s huge.

I'm sure they'll be fine compared to the 30% that sony/steam takes.

So because they already lose 30%, they can afford to lose another 5%?
