I understand if they stopped printing new blu rays / DVDs, but it’s outrageous and disappointing I can’t just buy the digital edition.

Is there an actual reason companies do this? Do they hate money or what?

    I mean, can you give an example or two?

    There’s probably not a single answer for everything. Depending on what you consider “old” there’s a chance no one saved a copy.

    It might be that contracts were better back then so the studio wouldn’t make much releasing it.

        So it’s a region locking thing.

        That sucks for everyone. I remember back in the day when vpns got new regions, and there was so much more available.

        But physical media needs to be physically produced. It’s available in DVD and I think it came before Blu-ray even so you’re kind of asking a lot here
