Memory, GPUs, storage, physical media. Every path to ownership is being squeezed, priced out, or eliminated.
AI data centers are gutting the consumer hardware market, and Sony killing discs is part of the same anti-consumer direction.
You own nothing. You rent everything.
Yeah not gonna happen. I’d rather just not buy the next console. Good luck with the business, @XBOX , it was a nice run! @PlayStation just lost me as well. @XBOX /@asha_shar is next I guess. Not that you guys care.
scoop: as Sony gets ready to scrap discs for PlayStation games, Xbox is quietly working on a disc-to-digital feature. It will allow you to digitize a physical game collection. Xbox is testing it internally, here's how it all works 👇 https://t.co/FXr52vsA06
PlayStation Is Getting Yelled At Everywhere Online
One user replied to a post from the Sony Pictures account about Talladega Nights with a joke about the end of physical PlayStation games in 2028. https://t.co/G2CJHaZ2lS

We will not be able to freely access the movies, books, and music that we have loved. I would be a have-not. That's what I'm afraid of. This is not greed.

Eventually, even digital data will no longer be owned by individuals on their own initiative. Whenever there is a major change or accident in the world, in a country, in a government, in an idea, in a trend, access to it may suddenly be cut off.
PlayStation, you’re making it harder and harder for collectors to support you.
I don’t collect games just to fill shelves. I collect because I believe games deserve to be owned, preserved, and experienced for years to come. Every step away from physical media chips away at that.
Digital should be an option not the only direction. Don’t forget the community that helped build your legacy.

Seems weird for Sony to cut physical games going into a generation where the people it would annoy are the enthusiasts they would need to show up day one for a 1,000 dollar console.
Internet down? Fuck you
Server issues? Fuck you
Finished a game and want to sell or trade it in? Fuck you
