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?

    It’s not profitable or it’s risky.

    It costs money to produce, archive and distribute older or more obscure media in the current sales infrastructure, and you’d have to get the rights from whoever owns the rights, so it’s just a big hassle that costs them too much money that they don’t know they’re going to make back.

    Or they do know that they’ll definitely not make it back.

    Whereas they know if they sell Frozen five they’re going to make money on it.
