That’s true. A physical disc could also come with a requirement to contact a server in order to work and that server could be shutdown one day. I’m not saying physical media isn’t better. I strongly prefer it and hope that it sticks around. I just don’t think that’s the root of the issue.
The root of the issue is companies will do anything to make more profit although they are already profitable by stripping people choice
100% with you on that one.
