No shit. In the case of physical, you’re talking about the manufacturing of plastic and use of machines to imprint the discs and then all of the driving done to ship the discs. And then eventually that plastic will end up in a landfill somewhere.
The study isn’t calling for you to stop buying physical so much as it’s trying to encourage gamers and lawmakers to embrace the second hand markets more, but that’s not really an option for a lot of games nowadays that are just download codes.
