Well if Sony doesnt care about approximately 500 million dollars a year, then thats fair enough I guess.

Yeah that’s unfortunately what they’re betting on. Just enough people giving in to where it’ll make up for those who refuse to buy games on PlayStation anymore.

Jason Schreier broke down that for every $70 physical game Sony sells, they come away with about $45 after retail fees, manufacturing fees, etc. Now, they’ll make the full $70 on first party games and a bigger cut on digital third party games too. Forcing all digital means they hope that enough players won’t care anymore to offset the players that do decide to leave.

And I’m sure Sony doubts there’s going to be a mass exodus to Nintendo just for physical games.

So the retailers get nothing from selling the code in a box versions in their stores anymore...?
