I NEED PEOPLE TO LISTEN - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
I am seriously considering taking legal action against Sony over the decision to end physical PlayStation game disc production in January 2028. I have the financial means and the intention to pursue this seriously. What I need now is help gathering documented evidence, timelines, factory information, corporate statements, archived marketing.
Allegation:
Sony’s own CFO Lin Tao subsequently stated that the company had put “a lot of thought and time” into the decision and had “cautiously considered this” before reaching its conclusion. Sony also explicitly said it chose to announce the decision around 1.5 years before the 2028 cutoff.
That raises a very simple question:
When did Sony actually make this decision?
Because the evidence surrounding Sony’s manufacturing operations raises even more questions.
Sony DADC’s facility in Thalgau, Austria - its remaining wholly owned optical disc manufacturing facility - has been preparing for a major transition toward Micro Optics. Sony says it has been developing these new products for several years and approximately €30 million has reportedly been invested in the new technology. Employees had already been moved away from disc production and trained for the new operation.
Reports indicate that the Thalgau facility currently produces around 600,000 discs per day, with roughly half connected to PlayStation, while production is expected to fall dramatically by 2028. The facility is being transitioned toward optical microlens production.
Sony had already made a sufficiently concrete decision to abandon physical PlayStation releases while continuing to sell PS5 Disc Edition consoles without informing consumers, there could be serious questions regarding consumer information, misleading marketing, contractual expectations and the timing of Sony’s disclosure.
The fact that Sony’s remaining disc facility was already being transformed toward another technology, with employees being retrained and significant investment already made, makes the timeline particularly important.
It’s about whether consumers were properly informed about a major strategic decision before they spent hundreds of euros buying hardware whose primary purpose for them was physical game ownership.
My lawyer has already contacted the Thalgau facility to ask when these retraining measures and transition plans were first considered and when the relevant decisions were made. The answers may help establish the timeline and clarify what Sony and its manufacturing operations knew, and when they knew it.

A mí me van a tener que explicar por qué en 2020 me compro una consola con lector y en 2028 para esa misma consola no pueda comprar ni un puñetero disco de lanzamiento.
Es que sigo sin comprender por qué narices hay gente defendiendo esta mierda.

Jeśli możecie, bo nie przeszkadza Wam tydzień gry offline, to dołączcie proszę do #PSBlackout lub chociaż podajcie dalej.
Tu nie chodzi o to, czy ten bojkot ma sens. Tu chodzi o to, żeby zsolidaryzować się z graczami, którzy uważają decyzje Sony za bezsensowną. 🤗
Gracias por mi copia @PlayStationES@PlayStation. Este lunes me dirijo a Consumo para hacer valer mis derechos como consumidor. Esto se tiene que acabar, así sea recurriendo a oficinas de gobierno para pararos los pies.

QUE GRANDES PLAYSTATION!!!
Acabo de revisar el correo que me llegó de Play con sus términos y esto es maravilloso.
"...usted no es propietario del Producto digital".
QUE ESTUPENDO, EH? Seguid defendiendo a Play y justificando sus acciones. Ya veréis que risas en 2028
🚨 OFFICIEL - La version physique de Lies of P sur Switch 2 n’a JAMAIS été prévue en Game-Key Card ‼️
Jiwon Choi confirme que le choix d’une vraie cartouche contenant Lies of P + Overture a été fait dès la décision de porter le jeu sur Switch 2 !
« Games by Gamers » : le studio voulait que cette édition physique soit un véritable cadeau pour les fans !
De mon côté j’attends impatiemment ma version physique et vous? ☺️
The #PSBlackout starts tomorrow!
We want physical games to stay! A digital-only future without ownership & customer protection law is unacceptable!
Log off, don't play, don't purchase, cancel subscriptions, become a ghost, until Sony realize their mistake!

Yo ya no sé de qué forma visibilizar al pobre Raúl.
Macho, dos años, castrado, sociable con gatos y perros, cariñoso, grandote... Busca hogar y está en Alcantarilla (Murcia)
Para la pobre gatita con calcivirus no se han logrado recaudar más que 30 euros. No hay para pagar la factura ni la segunda visita, ni el tratamiento 💔😢😞
Tampoco ha salido acogida ni adopción 😢
La tiene una señora mayor de escasos recursos, es un caso real 🙏🏻
Tiene tres añitos y es positiva a calcivirus, no se contagia a humanos, pero podría ser adoptada como hija única o con algún gatito que tenga la enfermedad 🙏🏻
Fue rescatada de una vida horrorosa y acogida pero por desgracia no la pueden tener más 😢😭💔
También se necesita ayuda para pagar la factura que se adjunta del veterinario si no no se la podrá llevar cuando lo necesite 😢
Es una gatita preciosa que merece la suerte que no ha tenido en su vida puesto que los gatitos son invisibles, los vemos por las calles y no nos damos cuenta del sufrimiento tan inmenso, de la vida tan miserable que llevan 💔
Ella merece a alguien que la valore y le dé la familia que realmente nunca ha tenido 😭
