I believe it’s to ensure retailers want to sell the games.

When I go to virgin mega store, there’s a large section of Nintendo games, but nothing for any PC games.

If it was cheaper to buy online, why would I buy physically, unless I was really into it physical media.

And that segment isn’t big enough to cause retailers to put up a section in the mall, which not only works as a point of sale but also as a giant advertising banner.
