In cost of the game itself for sure, but then you'd have costlier price in the disc too.
With the discs the scratches and storage were a bitch of a problem and later games even needed internet connection to activate games running on disc. It had pros but wasn't all rosy either.
It's going to be more convenient and economical just streaming games and renting them forever and then upping the subscription rates and making them exclusive to game stream platforms.

First they will take away your disk trays and then they will take away your hard drives. That's a big no from me.

Disc trays going away was just natural evolution considering how convenient and economical downloading games was for users.

As someone who has exclusively bought games for download this generation, it ain't economical lol

I don’t mind trying out games I haven’t played before using the game cloud feature and then installing it once I know it’s worth the time.
I don’t think I would want the entire console to be cloud based though. Maybe a handheld, but not a console.
