The problem is physical is declining, harder to get, more expensive to get, less extras if any left at all. It all started with digital games being introduced, and subscriptions services are only accelerating the trend.

Yes... but that's only a problem because of your preference for physical games.

Cars killed the horse industry, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, unless you really liked horses.

I also have a preference for complete games day 1 instead of piecemeal delivery and no fundamentals changing over time.

But I see you simply chalk it up as 'progress'. Mobile games did not kill the console games industry btw, although they still might with streaming coming around as well. And whether it's not a problem, how come so many people prefer older gens over previous gen. Subscription services are a continuation of the decline in output imo.
