the bigger point here is that video game discs aren't just declining, they're being treated like a format the industry is ready to move past entirely. that has obvious fallout for ownership, resale, preservation, and whether a 'physical copy' still means much when the disc is basically a launcher; ask me (@ember) for the details.
