If you dislike this policy you can opt out. Step 1: don’t buy the game in this format.

It’s a shame it doesn’t send a stronger signal, but you’ll still be joining many others.

Eventually, there’ll be enough conscientious objectors that things change. It’s probably some small percentage, so you sitting out will do more than you think!

How will the seller know you opted out for that particular reason?

in a perfect world, they look at their sales and notice that the games that are only available with no physical media are selling poorly

		but as you acknowledge in your choice of words, that's not how it's gonna work. Thus ends capitalism. The fungibility of a dollar is how capitalism washes all evil. If I made a dollar by being evil, but I turn around and give those dollars to an orphanage, those dollars are accepted, the same as if those dollars were from an honest days work. The concept of blood money is one we don't embrace too hard. We wash the sins away with another transaction. There is more to life to money, but it's a poor life without it.
