Sony announced them killing off physical games with a tweet and a blog post like it was some regular Wednesday, expecting people will be mad for a bit and move on.

And now the backlash has gotten so big it’s being covered by mainstream news outlets.

DON’T LET UP, DON’T SHUT UP.

Sony and Playstation doesn't care about you, they want physical discs gone. They will keep ignoring fans and not care. But there are things they will HAVE TO CARE about:

I have done a lot of research and got help from a lot of people to find out all this info, so please read and try to understand all this. There is no reason to argue with each other, no rage or anything like that will actually do anything. But reading and understanding how things work might:

Right now, a Dutch group is suing Sony for €400 million in the "Fair PlayStation" lawsuit on behalf of 1.7 million gamers.
Their argument is that Sony controls basically all digital game sales on PlayStation and charges a 30% "Sony Tax". According to their research, digital games are around 47% more expensive than physical ones.
Sony’s decision to stop physical disc production in 2028 strengthens their case, because it removes the used game market and leaves gamers with almost no real alternative to Sony’s store.

Even if this Dutch case doesn’t fully win on its own, it still matters. If the court finds Sony is abusing its dominant position, it gives the EU Commission strong evidence to open their own investigation under antitrust rules.

Under EU competition law, the Commission can fine Sony heavily and force remedies so for example by making them allow competing digital stores on PlayStation!

So what can we actually do, since Sony clearly doesn’t care if they lose fans over this?

- If you own a business that will be hurt by this (like a game shop), go to the EU Commission’s competition website and file a Form C. This is an official complaint that forces them to look into how Sony is affecting your business!
- Keep buying physical copies at launch when possible. The more physical sales there are, the harder it is for Sony to claim “nobody wants discs anymore”.
- Sign the “Don’t Kill the Disc” petition on Change org. Big signature numbers are used as proof of consumer harm in these cases. (links under post)
- Support the Stop Killing Games movement. It’s pushing for better consumer rights around game ownership.

Being angry on its own won’t do much. The goal is to create an official paper trail so EU antitrust regulators actually pay attention and take action. This is legit the only way something will change, sony is willing to lose fans over this. Since being all digital for them will be worth it long term!

New reports suggest Sony thinks this will blow over with time and is trying to just move forward without addressing the issue...

It's been a week, that's nothing. Don't back down! 🗡🛡

[Change.org @Change]

“A disc is a game you actually own." More than 200,000 people have signed a petition urging Sony to keep physical game discs.

On July 1, Sony announced it will stop producing discs for new releases by January 2028, saying more players are choosing digital downloads.

The petition comes from Jade Pearce, CEO of Canadian independent video game retailer @PNPGames. Pearce argues that ending physical games would take away players' ability to truly own the games they buy while putting retailers, distributors, and manufacturers that rely on physical media at risk.

Let’s support this lawsuit!!!

[Stop Killing Games Official @StopKilingGames]

Sony is really making a clown of itself here.

In all seriousness, knowing the internet, we understand why the social media team is avoiding the whole situation outright. But if this company truly cares about its customers, it would address their concerns.

Guys… what are we doing?!

[Pyo 5️⃣ @mrpyo1]

Reasons why we can't have a digital future for PS6, from a logical standpoint:

- Sony security is bad, one of the biggest PS podcasters Colin Moriarty lost his account even with 2FA because someone contacted SONY support and changed his email from the backend (he got it back).
- You don't own the games at all, unlike a disc with data on it, even non patched it works.
- Prices digital in majority of places are way more expensive over physical (even with new releases) = Monopoly
- Sony can take away the game share we have today, Nintendo did it from switch 1 to switch 2.

No matter what, physical always needs to be an option. Movies, series and music STILL HAVE IT TODAY!

[Deez Games 🎮 NO DISC 💿 NO BUY @_Deez_Games]

Heads up. Sony/PlayStation are taking down any posts on Reddit which prove that they're lying about the physical vs digital sales comparisons and skewing the numbers 👌

I’m sorry @CadburyUK but your chocolate is now horrid.
Palm oil makes the taste and texture all wrong.

Profiteering above all else has ruined the most famous product from my city.

Should never have sold out to out to Craft.

Okay. No PR bullshit here. I just watched qualifying and I have to say that these new power units are focking shit. Lifting and coasting on straights is the opposite of what F1 is about. Whoever came up with this needs to be sacked. Immediately.

[Ferrari News 🐎 @FanaticsFerrari]

The irony of F1’s “green engines”:

- All race cars combined over a season: ~150 tonnes CO₂/year
- F1’s total footprint from flying cargo everywhere: ~250,000+ tonnes

Even if fuel consumption tripled using V12s, that’s <1% from the engines.

But sure, let’s nerf the engines.
