The VAST majority of gamers don't identify as "gamers". They don't read gaming media, they don't engage in online discourse about video games, and they don't give two shits about any of this sensationalist nothing burger fear mongering.
If YOU are a "concerned gamer"; physical media is dead. Acknowledge that you are an INFINITESIMALLY MINISCULE minority and get over it, or find a new hobby.
A couple thousand chronically online whiners don't get to decide the future of the industry.
