End of era

[Pyo 5️⃣ @mrpyo1]

More reports why Sony is trying to end physical discs:

- They want to cut out the middle man, to make more profit per sale (like remove walmart cuts etc)
- Sony thinks the fanbase will not switch platforms, they can do what they please without losing fans
- They are convinced by ignoring this issue, they fans will just accept the changes and convert to 100% digital with time.
- Sony thinks they are "too big to have commination with fans". Talking to fans has no margin benefit, so they refuse to address fans and will keep doing so

I have lost all trust and goodwill with PlayStation, no words what is happening right now. Horrible company

Physical games have always been more than just a format to us — they are history you can hold in your hands.

For nearly 40 years, VGP has been part of that history. From the early days of gaming through generations of consoles and changing industry trends, we’ve remained committed to one simple idea: that physical games deserve to be preserved, shared, and enjoyed long after their initial release window has passed.

Over the years, that mission has evolved into something we are especially proud of — helping bring hard-to-find and out-of-print titles back into circulation so new and returning players alike can experience them. Whether it’s reprinting rare games, supporting collectors, or making overlooked titles accessible again, we’ve always believed that great games shouldn’t disappear just because time moves forward.

As the industry continues to evolve toward digital-first distribution, we recognize that change is inevitable. But we also believe that physical games continue to hold a unique place in the hearts of players around the world — as collectibles, as cultural artifacts, and as an experience that digital alone cannot fully replace.

Whatever the future holds, VGP remains deeply committed to supporting physical gaming for as long as there is demand and passion for it. We will continue doing what we’ve always done: preserving games, serving collectors, and ensuring that physical media remains part of the gaming landscape for generations to come.

We don’t see physical games as something fading away — we see them as something worth preserving.

And we intend to keep doing exactly that.

— The VGP Team

Sorry, I'm going to keep speaking up about this because it genuinely means a lot to me.

@PlayStation, please reconsider the decision to move to a digital only future.

I've spent hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on Sony products over the years. I recently bought a PS5 Pro with the disc drive, and I've been a PlayStation Plus subscriber for years. Do I buy digital games? Absolutely. Like most people, I appreciate the convenience. But I also make a point to buy physical copies because ownership matters.

I never know if there will come a day when I can't download one of my favorite games anymore or lend it to a friend. Physical media isn't just about collecting plastic cases. It's about preserving something that genuinely means something to me.

I'm also the kind of fan who buys collector's editions of the series I love. More often than not, I end up buying multiple copies of the same game because I want to support the developers while also owning a physical version that I can keep for years to come.

This is personal for another reason.

I grew up in a low income family. My parents couldn't afford to buy my brothers and me every new game we wanted, but they always did everything they could. They waited for sales, bought used copies, traded games, and stretched every dollar to give us experiences we never would have had otherwise.

Those games became some of my favorite childhood memories, and I'm forever grateful for the sacrifices they made.

Without physical media, many of those moments simply wouldn't have been possible.

Please don't take that choice away from future generations of players.

@grimscotthydra @PlayStation @PlayStationCA 10000%. Im not sure why they would ever think to fuck over their consumers, not to mention life ling fans, this hard. But it will be hard no from me if this actually becomes reality.

[IIK Lantz @IIK94]

No more PPVs for the Canadians, who have still been charged full price since January.
