They are giving it the support it needs to survive.  They're porting it to PS4, a console with a healthy userbase and a healthy software ecosystem.

No excuse not to have physical on PS Vita?  I can think of plenty of reasons why not to have physical on PS Vita.  Stronger digital adoption rate among owners in general; niche franchise with small sales potential in west; weak Vita software ecosystem in the west; plenty of major retailers unwilling to stock Vita games in the west.  Take your pick.

And yes, you're advertising a game by having a physical release.  And you're paying for that advertising by all the extra costs that go in to shipping a physical version.  Costs which are going to make it more difficult to be profitable on unless you have bigger sales numbers - sales numbers which presumably aren't going to be recouped merely by advertising.

Listen - I want Vita physical releases in the west, I'm almost collecting them at this point (not as much as Mikerox, but nearly).  But I can completely understand the arguments for not releasing physically, and I'm not under some allusion that Vita's in a place where owners can demand physical release or not buy the game at all (because guess what?  the response will be "not at all")

Everything said here irrelevant. Why?
PS4 will be getting the game ported to it and released physical, that's simply enough reason to have Vita physical as well. It's not like it's $20 for the game, it's a full price title. Again I won't support em with that dumb logic. That's call bad treatment. Trying to tell me otherwise is a waste. I know how the industry works. I'd support a company doing a digital only release on Vita over a company doing a physical release on another platform of a vita game. I already did that once for Bandai and won't again, that was J-Star, I wanted it on Vita but skipped it and payed double literally just because I wanted the game and said I'll still support anyways. 

I don't get the logic of people tryina tell me what my moneys worth. 

I understand people prefer digital, some physical and only buy digital if they need to. Hell I own most my games for vita twice. I just hate digital only releases. Only way to end my problem. Avoid it. Why would I add onto the fuel that frustrates me? No thanks
