Title: Ending PS5 discs will lower PlayStation Store prices, says former Square Enix executive

Jacob Navok says that buyers will save money in an all-digital future. After the demise of physical games, the one-time Square Enix business lead predicts lower prices on the PS Store. He argues that having more publishers on the marketplace will encourage deeper discounts.

this guy said "likely", so it's also just a  speculation. Plus, Square Enix also go for GKC than proper Switch 2 game card. You'd thought they could cover the physical publishing cost as a major publisher but turns out they too cheapened out as possible as they can compared to other smaller publishers that made "backward compatible" Switch 2 game card (Switch 1 and Switch 2 upgrade pack in one game card rather than Switch 2 standalone executable)

I bought a physical FF16 on PS5 for $24. Has that game ever been that cheap on Playstation store let alone any other platform?

No. Digital is a scam.
