Really? Read yesterday that PS5 physical still exceeds digital sales.

I remember reading an article that suggested PlayStation 5 owners were more likely to opt for physical but PlayStation as a platform (PS4 and 5 combined) is now majority digital. And that makes sense to me, early adopters tend to be enthusiasts. 

As the article above points out though, it’s pretty much only the expensive AAA high volume games that are getting physical releases anymore. AA, A, and indies have basically abandoned physical media because the distribution costs are too high

And then comes Limited Run Games... Who is making a fortune out of "scarcity".
