Future of gaming in a all digital future

Physical media wil definitely become niche, as it's already started happening.

I fear we will only have collector's editions and limited prints and physical media will be absurdly expensive.

Digital was once supposed to make games cheaper, but that never happened and may actually just make physical more expensive.

I'm already having problem finding physical copies decently around here for very recent games like Elden Ring or even Diablo 4!

It's the same with (4k)blu-ray, getting harder and harder to get. Oppenheimer currently unavailable, have to import. It just came out! Prices keep going up, BF / Cyber Monday deals are all very weak and very few.

Maybe it's also the economy. I haven't seen any good BF deals, and even for 30% off it's mostly Amazon Prime members only. They do have Elden Ring, 15% off! The PS5 physical edition that is, XBox digital code edition, currently out of stock??? No PS4 nor XOne edition available.

Diablo 4 is in stock, full price.
