Only if they can read my mind. In which case, sausage and olives, please!

It's usually the Capcom gambit, where they say "We're releasing Popular Game Series Entry digitally only. If you don't rent it off eShop, we know what that means."

Even if it's the XSEED gambit, where they claim "Retailers don't think it'll sell so instead of doing digital + retail, we're going to simply rent digital, even though this kind of game has been done before so we're not sure what we're trying to prove to whom," we still don't end up with physical copies of that game anyway.

If you e-mail them and say "Hi, not renting off eShop," they won't care and will forget about it.
