I think this was always gonna be the plan but I think microsoft and sony view the pandemic as the silver lining in order to get people to buy their digital consoles. I think people being stuck at home and a lot of retailers being closed while big games were coming out (animal crossing, ff7, doom etc.) forced people to re-examine their idea on buying games digitally.
I remember when microsoft first tried to get people into the idea of a digital only console with the Xbox one they were met with a fury unlike any other. Now I see a lot of people jumping for joy over the disc-less versions of both the xbox and ps5.
I completely went from physical to digital this gen, even before the pandemic. The convenience is just too nice. I don’t really care about reselling games anymore either, most times you get jerked on prices anyway.
Nice to be at work at purchase and download a game from your phone so its on your system when you get home.
