Why? You having a physical thing doesn’t make you own the product any more or less.
Not saying you should buy the game. I’m not going to. But not because of physical media, it’s going to be the same old rubbish they’ve been peddling for over a decade, except even more focused on GTA Online.
Except it does. Because owning a digital copy legally speaking means you own a licence to a software, but not the software. Physical discs / flash drive / cartridges are owned, licenses can be revoked and are not owned in the same sense.
A transferable licence on a hard copy definitely beats a non-transferable digital license for sure, but for any online game being able to play is obviously not only related to your local hardware and copy. We’re definitely going down a shitty road, but it’s not like we’re not already on it.

Well I don’t see Sony breaking down my door to take my physical copy of Sackboy: A Big Adventure.
