What you say is not incorrect, but it does not tell the whole story.  As the Ubisoft representative recently said, publishers intentionally reduce the price of retail copies so they sell out in stores.  Therefore, the retailers are willing to make larger orders when the next game comes out.  Digital copies should cost less than physical copies, because there is no disc, manual, box, boxart, shipping costs, and most importantly, no retailer's cut.  Publishers are giving in to retailer's demands, and it's hurting gamers.


How is it hurting gamers? we get the right to sell or to burrow our games

I'm not saying gamers are hurt by the option of physical copies.  I'm saying gamers are hurt by the price manipulation of digital copies.  As I have proven earlier, digital copies should cost significantly less than physical copies, but publishers force the digital copies to be the same price, or even higher, than the physical copies.
