“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.

@PlayStation Imagine if you ban physical media and someone’s PSN gets terminated, then they lose all of their digital library. Have you ever considered digital game rights where a person can actually own a non-revocable license for games that they bought digitally?
Today we had the first ever stable playtest of our TLOU 2 Multiplayer mod, zero crashes and the entire match cycle works perfectly. From main menu to matchmaking to an actual match to scoreboard and back to lobby. Here's a few highlights!

cutting physical media cuts costs only for the company. they get to save on production, design, shipping and still charge the same thing with nothing being passed on to the consumer
As PlayStation announces that it will end PS3 Store purchases in July 2027, it's important that all of its content is preserved before it's lost forever!

@CallofDutyWire@GTAonlineNews I just think that it’s cool to be able to have the option to buy physical discs of games. I have nothing against digital but I do understand why physical media matters as well.
@CallofDutyWire@GTAonlineNews But taking away one of the options that a consumer can make is not okay. Consumers should have freedom of choice in whichever way they choose to purchase a product.
