Most physical releases today are still just licenses that require an account and can be taken away at any point, so what's the point in having a physical object that can decay as an extra obstacle to playing your game?
It does nothing for game preservation. Physical copies of 30 year old games cost hundreds of dollars and barely work while digital copies are free and are the same as the day they were released.
A company doing a physical release is treated as a win when in reality you can do little more with that disc than with a digital copy except break it and lose access to your game.
You still wouldn't own GTA VI if they released a disc.
So what are we fighting for?
