Not everyone will adopt that move.  It might appear like more profit for Xbox/Sony on paper, but they're shrinking the consumer base.  A vast chunk will choose to just not purchase Xbox and Sony consoles. Some will quit gaming all-together, others will migrate to PC gaming. Nintendo will receive some gains.  The profits only occur if they don't lose any consumers.

3) Those that quit gaming over how they own a game are not true gamers.

You're a child.

I'm done when the next-gen Sony console rolls in. I have over a thousand games physically new and old combined and there is a lot of retro stuff I want to get into anyway. It's not just digital but I can't tolerate another generation of this industry getting so much worse with all the other shitty bad practices and inventing new ones. Next thing you know they will charge you hourly on top of the 80 bucks you paid to buy it and the whole game be a soulless AI-made pile of shit. I cannot sanction such buffoonery.

Physical media today still requires you to download the game off a server.

Wrong.
