Well that's obviously impossible, you could sell or give the disc to someone else and then they'd have duplicated a game and lost a sale.

my only ps4 disc is astro bot rescue mission and that's only because it was bundeled with my psvr.   i went 100% in the last years of ps3.

I have Astro on disc too because I got it as a gift. Also spyro, rdr2 and dmc5

I have about 75 disc PS4 games. Counting only games I bought and not PS+ or anything I have about 20 digital.

I'm not sure how many Kinect only games there are, but it seems likely that there are more missing Xbox One games than there are from PS4.  Which is hilarious to think about considering the concern.

I don't think it would even be considered to be offered for free when its basically got a decent sized new DLC included. Its not even that expensive either, seems like a good priced offering to me.

Just too bad I recently bought the base version. Haven't touched it because I might want to play on ps5. Then again, I probably am not getting a ps5 until next year anyway so might as well (plus it might be the digital edition so I won't be able to play my dmc5 anyway on it)

At least one of the devs is working on patches.
Interesting. I wonder what it is that's causing them to not run on PS5.

It could be a bunch of things.
