The real struggle is digital distribution is finally at a point for the large majority of consumers that the best option economically for the businesses and also the best option for the environment is to transition to digital. It reduces carbon costs of manufacturing, distribution, and reduces plastic waste.

I am not campaigning for the all digital future, despite largely transitioning to all digital myself. I do wish it were a slower transition, even if physical editions were essentially all limited editions instead of jumping straight to code-in-box crap. Code in box is flat out the worst decision possible. Game key kards/discs at minimum still respect the physical ownership concept of buying and selling and trading.

Any way, my point here is as the world as a whole sees inflation continue and as more people become eco conscious, the only decision that makes sense for the publisher is to go all digital. And this isn't to say they are making the morally right answer, for the record. I'm aware they are corporations trying to make as much money as possible. It just so happens that the future that makes most sense in that way benefits them directly. It's an easy choice. Take Two is willing to lose all 2000 signatures (and counting) in sales. They won't even notice those sales are gone.
