@Errant I'm not surprised at all. With many versions of consoles being digital only, on PC digital only anyway and for some games like Diablo 4 (the most selling game in that region) having "always online", so a disk doesn't make too much sense anymore. Even on consoles with a disk, there are some people who buy it digital only. And the internet structure gets better and better in the world. Is anyone surprised?

Surprised it's not more tbh. As a PC gamer, can someone explain what benefits are there to buying physical games? The only one I can think of is saving storage space on your console, but the disadvantages paying extra for shipping/waiting for shipping outweigh that for me. Or is it just people who collect physical games or buy them as presents?
