Sony will no longer allow retailers to sell digital codes for games, add-on cards and PSN$ cards will remain

Well this explains why the people at gamestop were bashing Playstation and praising Switch and XBox. I believe the girl worded it as, "Thats Sony, always trying to nickle and dime their consumers" when some was complaining about a lack of charging cable with the PS4 controller they bought. Then went on to say how the Switch controllers came wich charging cables out of the box and have vastly superior battery life.

This has no affect on me as I mostly buy physical games only, but it seems retailers are fighting back, fruitless or not.
