That is utter bull. That is directly saying that we want to make more money for less work!
Also have in mind that they will fuck us over as soon as physical copies are gone as they will have no reason to reduce the price if there is no second hand market. And if you think they will keep reducing games to 80%, you need to have better dreams. Look at Nintendo, most games still at their MSRP, and there are physical copies that are literally 1/8 of that MSRP price on the second hand market.
PC has multiple marketplaces and the most competition.
The problem isn’t digital vs physical, it’s monopolies vs healthy markets. The market for physical media tends to be healthier for consoles because it’s at least a lot closer to being impossible to monopolize compared to consoles’ online stores, which are monopolies by default with no aftermarket for competition
