“We still have physical releases on the horizon, so we haven’t gone 100% digital-only just yet… but we’ve been saying for months now that we’re headed in a digital direction, and that the majority of our future titles will be digital-only. We’re truly sorry if this upsets any of you, but it’s our only choice. Yes, even for [Way of the Samurai 4]. It’s digital-only or nothing.” - Tom Lipschultz, Localization Specialist

Taking things in a digital direction just makes more sense for Xseed. It cuts out a lot of the cost, which should let them spend more money on bigger acquisitions. Factor in the niche titles that they usually grab and you can see how a digital approach is the way to go.
