A lot of people like physical media — they like having the freedom of choice when it comes to purchasing a video game.

News 'That's a Huge Bummer': Street Fighter 6 World Tour Support Ends with Ingrid on PS5, PS4
Sorry, single players
Street Fighter 6 is, at its heart, a competitive multiplayer game. But I think it’s worth appreciating just how much value World Tour mode has added for single player fans.
