Notice how none of the other big companies or publishers have commented on Sony's announcement to end physical disc production? No gotcha moments from Xbox or Nintendo, no declarations of solidarity with fans from Ubisoft or EA. That's because everyone wants to go digital, and they're more than happy for Sony to take the fall and be the bad guy in their place. However, I think if we're honest, we can't exactly blame anyone for wanting an all digital future. That, in and of itself, is not bad. It is considerably cheaper and it caters to the prevailing interests of most consumers. It's kind of a no-brainer for these companies. So what's the real problem? The current digital infrastructure is unreliable and the concept of ownership versus the purchase of a license hasn't been sufficiently modernized. Simply put, it's just too soon and too easy to manipulate in unfair ways. Besides that, I don't see why fans can't continue to have physical discs in some capacity as long as they're willing to pay for them. That's where the real conversation is.
