I think it’s like most things, 1% are loud and the rest will accept it

I think the percentage may be higher, but people who like physical media are more likely to be people who buy things second-hand and people who buy much fewer games, but keep playing them for much longer. Sony simply doesn't care about them, because the ones who move the market are the ones who buy a lot of games, making huge backlogs that will never be touched, pay for subscriptions, etc, and those people don't care about physical media

Yep, the amount of acceptance is disheartening. i hope those console gamers keep taking it so pcs still have a tad of affordability.
