Sony going third party is an excellent idea for gamers.

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.

Eh, major stores that use this ecosystem (gain most of their profit though buying and reselling used items) are starting to be shut down. Sure there will always be ebay or amazon, but the days where physical games are being made are numbered (just like cds and even blurays). I'm not saying it will ever be truly pointless as long as there is physical media, but it will definitely become "for the niche audience".
