I’m going to keep buying physical where I can. We can’t trust these revocable licenses
Unfortunately there is a path set and unless some new European laws or equivalent come up.... They will eventually simply stop doing physical stuff. Or nearly stop.
Like for games for example I do not expect after this generation for example more physical games... They did this mix this year to tempt people to get the cheaper digital version and start getting used to digital to simply cut the roots and next sell you just digital, they will say something "this way you can keep your existing games" or similar to convince you, which is good but stops all second hand, the store cuts of the physical, etc. And they will sell nee improved versions or similar of some games for tHe next gen. Next will continue the subscriptions and so on....
The media the same with the subscriptIons and digital owning stuff....
I feel the future is bleak. Piracy will still be there but... who knows with lobbying and similar if stuff gets worse too.
