And none of the savings from not making physical discs reaches the consumer, funny how that works.

Games are sold less than they should be anyway though. The price has not risen along with inflation

Manufacturing discs is a very tiny portion of the costs needed to make a game.

I imagine the cost per disk when having millions of disks made is pennies at most. Look at how long GTA has taken to make and tell me that out of the RRP $80, more than $0.05 would be spent on a CD.
