Sony going third party is an excellent idea for gamers.

And? How does that affect any of the benefits of owning a physical copy of a game, which is the only reason to bring up Physical vs Digital. It's a pointless argument because Valdath likes owning the "plastic" because of the benefits. Saying he owns the "plastic" not the "game" is of literally zero end consequence, it's just terminology.

 

You Don't seem to be understanding that you do not own the code contained within the plastic. You own the plastic "cover", but you do not own what is within it. Like the EULA states, you paid to use the license, rather than paid to own said license.

Also this isn't even a thread about physical vs digital, this is about Sony going third party, so bringing "benefits" into this thread has already lost it's purpose.

Saying "owning air isn't good" is just as pointless.

No because the meaning behind Valdath's words is that he owns something that he can trade or sell so it's not pointless at all. If you buy a physical copy of a game, you own a physical item that you can do with as you please. If "benefits" behind physical copies are truly irrelevant then maybe you shouldn't have started the discussion of physical ownership and trying to discredit it's supposed benefits in the first place.
