Because gamers will keep buying their crap.

No one gave a shit when Nintendo did its digital game key shit on the Switch 2. People will keep buying PS5 games.

I think people cared less about Nintendo's case because they allow 3rd parties to make physical games that are just a digital key, but they won't release any first party games that way. (Not exactly convinced they won't eventually change this policy, but that's what it is right now)

The moral outrage is just that. Morally aligned. A company without morals gives zero fucks about moral outrage.

We need a capitalism outrage for this to matter.
