I would agree, if it wasn’t a lost fight already. I mostly stopped buying physical when I realized that it’s now normal that the intended version doesn’t ship on disk, and I won’t be able to play the “real version” in the future anyways, once the console can’t receive updates anymore.

My plan is to simply pirate games I bought and hope for either jail breaks or emulators for my consoles

That’s true, but even streaming locally from my series x to stream Deck really degrades the image quality and introduces input delay (which of course could also be caused by my network idk) so I’m not too keen on streaming games
