The petition to save physical PlayStation games has now surpassed 300,000 signatures.

[Shaun Jobe @digitaldick85]

@Speights1977 @Emilio2763 Africa will do. Back to the Huts.

700 PS5 games were tested and 93% of them played fully without any internet connection or download

Don’t let them make you think otherwise

Physical ownership IS ownership

Once again fuck you @PlayStation

Movies still come on Blu-ray, music is still pressed on vinyl and books still fill store shelves. But as Sony moves to phase out physical PlayStation releases, many gamers are asking why video games should be the first major entertainment medium to go all digital. https://t.co/FagoUG3JVU

An extensive study of PlayStation 5 physical discs reveals how many of them require no sort of internet connection or additional downloads to run. https://t.co/MY76QFVY0W

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!

@karmaopg7 I 💯 agree and with all of us canceling PS+ & the petition I hope the PS6 flops HARD.

[Hikaru Akira🕯️🇺🇸⚔️ @HikaruAkiraFox]

It is quite comical to see the digital boot lickers that are quite literally sucking off @PlayStation to end their freedom of owning games.

The "you will own nothing and be happy" crowd absolutely are a special case to be studied.

This is the time we need the StopKillingGames act to pass and take over.

While videogames and wokies are being beaten at one front, the digital "own nothing" crowd are trying to beat us at another front.

But we know the weakness to the "own nothing" crowd, and that weakness is money.

Once you cut off the head of a snake, it dies.

PlayStation is the head of the Sony snake, and once we cut off PlayStation's money supply, Sony will slowly die.

@AIDSinSpace1488 @TheRealGameGod Oh right’on my next question was going to be what did you guys do to deserve that?

[Shaun Jobe @digitaldick85]

Wow, I agree with the “French” on something. ☝🏻

[J & L Game 🕹️ @jnlgame]

PlayStation’s Disc Backlash Just Hit French Politics, Now This Is Bigger Than Console Wars

French presidential candidate @JLMelenchon has spoken out against PlayStation’s move toward a digital only future, arguing that games are not just products to be controlled by storefronts, but cultural assets that should be protected by law. His warning cuts straight into the ownership debate, no disc means no lending, no resale, and no real guarantee that players keep what they paid for if access changes later. That is why this stopped being a collector issue and became a consumer rights fight.

The funny part is Sony probably expected gamers to complain, not politicians to start framing this as a legal and cultural issue. Once governments start looking at digital ownership, the industry loses the comfort of pretending this is just “the future” and everyone should shut up and accept it. Maybe Mélenchon is chasing gamer support, sure, but the point still lands, if games are art, culture, and media, why are players getting fewer rights than they had with a plastic disc?

Is this finally the backlash that forces regulation?

@baiscisland @TheRealGameGod Nintend? Must’ve been a knock off dollar store version of Nintendo.🤓🇺🇸

@PlayStalgiaX @PlayStation Same. I was so loyal since PS1, now I feel raped.

[MattBanXI @MattBanXI]

Sony PlayStation… do you think you might want to rethink this yet?! 💿🎮😅

The PS5 Disc Edition made up 82% of the PS5 console sales… why? BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT A CHOICE WHERE THEY BUY THEIR GAMES!

Buy physical. Buy Digital. I don’t care. So long as you’ve got the choice.

[Deion | SeeReax @SeeReax]

I owned a:

- PS1
- PS2
- PS3
- PS4
- PS5

I will not purchase a PS6 if nothing changes. Fuck that.
