To be fair, pretty much no device has a CD reader nowadays. I would take an USB key containing the songs or a free download of the OST online over a deprecated media.
Note sure what you mean. Nearly all my friends have a CD player/Amp setup at home. Young or old. Hardly deprecated media. Yea on the go or for quick listening digital files are great! At home, kicking back, plenty of people still enjoy CDs, Vinyl etc...
Its incredibly ironic that you would say no need for physical CDs while accepting this <PHYSICAL> collectors edition package as great.
Many special edition stuff also include music CDs.
On that same note then, why even have an Art book?? How about just the PDF file then??
Or a TIFF file of that statue to display in a monitor or VR set.
I think people who buy these tend to like physical stuff? Or maybe I am mistaken. Its just for GenZ show and boasting on youtube?
