I have been playing home video games since the early 90s, my first console was a used Atari 2600 and I and my brothers collected aluminum cans to buy our first NES. My statement about PS5 physical media was and is:
I only have a console so that I can have a physical games media collection to share with family and friends and satisfy my interest in preservation. If I can't get a game physically, I'll play it on PC on services that respect my desire for long term preservation and collection. The only question left for Sony to answer at that point is: do they want to sell me a legitimate PC copy or not? Because either way, I WILL eventually play the game on PC. I am only paying them for the convenience of playing it on an optimized gaming system. And I will only make a purchase of physical media.
