I have no problem with streaming for some things but eventually physical media may disappear. Thast depressing to me, the old geezer I am.

Actually, this deal implies that both studios are committed to continue supporting physical media for the next decade, far longer than I would've thought prior to this announcement.

Edit: which, I realized after submitting my post, is basically the same thing Dynamo said.
