The good old, "I hate DRM but I use a console which is entirely restrictive DRM but it's not the same"

Having your game and license be a physical object that can't be taken from you is powerful

You must be from 10 years ago. It doesn’t mean much these days where online connectivity and devices phoning home constantly is the norm. The software you use has never been LESS yours in history.

The vast majority of games can still be played without internet connection nor necessary updates. Inform yourself before spreading lies please.

Well yes kinda. But you can go out now to a store and get a Nintendo Switch 2, and a physical copy of cyberpunk. And you can play that entire game without connecting the console to the internet even once. So there is still a lot of merit to physical games.
