Already seeing a lot of people dismissing the situation in other forums and youtube, because it's the game/franchise they like. Just like what happened to GTA VI. I'm sure they were very mad at Sony tho, unlike the GTA folks, JRPG fans are way likelier to care for it.

We are really out of hope, people just gladly roll over and get happy about not owing anything, just like the Ubisoft suit told people should do, but they laughed at.

I agree with you.  I hate the push to all digital, even though I really liked Rebirth as a game.  Where I'm at with it is that a) I own a Switch 2 instead of PS5 (so a few games are still going to be physical going forwared) and b) for Revelation I will buy the GCK for Switch 2 and resell it at some point, because there is no point owning a GCK long term.

I do believe that that SE is leaving money on the table by not having a 100% physical version for the Deluxe/Collector's edition.  That would be one way to solve the problem, because there are people like me who would pay more just to have a physical version of the complete game.  But I'm personally not buying the special version of the game because there is no physical copy.  This is really the way for companies to have their cake and eat it too.  They have higher profit margins on digital versions, and they would also get higher margins on physical versions if they are marketed as a Deluxe version.  Instead, they are forcing me to resell the version that I get, which is what these companies wanted to avoid in the first place, but now it becomes a guarantee.
