You didn't answer my question at all.  You just stated more untruths, warped the reality of the situation, and took personal digs at me.   You aren't trying to have a conversation with me.  You act like we are in competition with each other which is weird.  You claim that digital codes should be redeemable elsewhere which doesn't make any sense and doesn't work that way for any other platform.   Its not a monopoly because they are allowing retailers the chance to sell codes.  You have a predetermined way you want words to be understood even though they are conuter to their meaining. 

The only accurate thing you state is that there is a worry that digital good will be useless when a storefront closes which is real and not unique to any one platform at all.  Like imagine Spotify were to shut down?  Right now, there are no checkins for digital PlayStation games but the caveat is that the device can't have its CMOS reset.  But we can't just have rampent piracy of games on consoles either because developers deserve to be paid for their work.  Its a balancing act for sure. 

I don't pity myself at all.  That is your cross to bare.  I just want digital rights that extend beyond the actual closure of a store front.  This would require legislation I think because it applys to so many different companies and industries.  

I already answered it, calling it untruths wont age well for you, i wonder when we see 90 or 100 euro games if you will come out and say you where wrong, just for one example.

We can all see your verry anti physical for some weird reason and super pro sony even thou they fugking you over each and every time.

Physical is not dead not even close, why are physical games so bad on ps4/5 but is selling hundrends of millions on switch/2.

If they dont make them physical theh cant sell it physical.

I never said game prices wont increase.  You are having a fight with me in your head over something I never said.  My response about game prices was a cheeky way of saying game prices are already headed in that direction. 

I am not antiphysical, I am basically all physical on the Switch 2 and all digital on the PS5.  The reason why I have those purchasing patterns (and the reason why I think Nintendo has a greater volume of physical sales than Sony) is simply because storage on the Switch comes at a premium.  Storage on the Playstation is 4x that of the Switch (8x if you have a Pro like me).  Truth is, if Switch shipped with meaningful storage space I would lean towards digital on that platform too as I find it more convient and minimalistic.  

Its just practicallity, not 'hate of physical' lol.  

I don't have this deep seeded hatred of any of these companies.  They all fustrate me from time to time, but this childish overly dramtic love and hate of a corporations isn't something I indulge in.  I have stated multiple times that people who REALLY care about this industry want as many players to find success as possible.  I don't feel 'fucked' over at all.  Like most folks, I am all digital on PlayStation.  Also, I'm a little selfish because I want my media to work regardless of form factor.  So, me knowing that a handheld is coming means I don't want PlayStation discs.  I want to make 1 purchase and thats it. 

I would like to point out that the Switch 2 was NOT BC with Wii and Wii U.  One of the reasons BC wasn't practical is because Nintendo was NOT gonna put a disc drive in a device that needed to double as a handheld.  The Switch sold very well.  This is what I see happening now on PlayStation.  They keep saying that they are exploring new forms of play beyond the living room.  To me, given the sales data and the statements, and given what other companies had to do when going to handheld in reference to disc support, I think it makes perfect sense that they would want to stop shipping discs.  A confluence of factors.  The handheld factor is why I started this thread.  We are freaking adults.  We can have nuanced conversations and explore things from different angles. 

Please don't think ill of me if I have different viewpoint from you.  The best part about this thread is that I couldn't figure out by myself how Sony would support both devices (handheld and a console) at the same time with the exact same software in two different formats... and there were several well thought out proposals by people responding in the thread. Even if you don't agree, can you say that you at least understand where I am coming from?
