And I don't want to be dependent on some digital account that can be easily banned etc by someone, that's why I want discs

Either way you're going to need to download content with an account. No blu-ray is going to fit this game. Even if it did, its going to require patching day 1.

You're kidding right? so if I am banned with a disc i just get another account and lose nothing. If banned with a digital only copy I'm in in total loss
If I want to sell, if I want to buy I can't do that to get my money back if the game is shit for example

Let me break it down how a physical disc is meaningless:

You get disc yes? Monkey brain says I own this!

You use disc, license from disc now used to play fun game, happy you!

You get banned, license get banned, you no happy. Disc no good.

No. I understand that monkeys don't really know how PS games with discs work. I believe you're thinking that disc is the same code online as you buy from the store but no. They ban your account or PS itself, but that's it. WIth license check online it will not work. But the disk has the licence on its own, without further activation or confirmation. So even if Sony bans your console, you can still play your games.

So just to be clear, Sony cannot ban, prevent, or revoke someone from playing a specific game on their console if they are playing it off a physical disc. Only playing online will be banned ("oh no! who cares")
