Because if the game isn't for me I can sell it. I can share them with friends easily. I can install and play a game if my network has issues. I can buy games way cheaper than the insane PS store prices as there is actual competition in physical media sales.

    Not if the game you bought on a disk is linked to your Playstation account and requires an online connection to play, which the majority of games do these days. The disk is really secondary to that.

    Those are pretty arbitrary requirements only put in place to stifle second hand sales, pulling physical discs entirely makes sense when they've already done that. But both requiring the game to be linked to your account and an online connection to play is already bullshit and something people have been complaining about for years.
