Score!
Gobble, gobble?
It's turkey time!
I wonder what the stats are on people that have the tech to play a DVD.
Probably reasonably high still. Consoles still play them, I assume, for now. Also, a lot of people will still have old ones lying around. I do agree the number is probably dropping though, and will go even faster with the next generation of consoles. If you want, you can still find them in thrift stores easily, so anyone who wants one has easy access, but most people can't be bothered anymore.
I would straight-up support them ceasing the production of physical media if they were distributing digital media as DRM free, but unfortunately, that's antithetical to their goals.

Hooray for physical media! There are enough super common DVDs out there to keep these stocked for a while.
Edit: @negativenull@piefed.world has a great point. DVDs don't take temperature changes well. Maybe movies are better served digitally in this case. What if we made an Internet in a Box or Khan Academy on a Raspberry Pi with added movies that we, um, have permission to distribute over Wi-Fi.
Oh shit, thats so fuckin cool! ☺️
I have thought of something like that for the Amazon/UPS/USPS/FedEx/DHL/et. al. drivers I see over and over again. Like let them borrow and return books and dvds.
I see them so frequently that I feel like I should be offering bodega services to these people.
That's what Netflix was originally.
They also offer books but people still build little libraries.
They had one in my neighborhood and of course some crack head hood rat stole the whole post from the guys lawn.
