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?!
Sony Playstation has finally posted after a week of silence
Theres 30K comments and almost all of them are asking them to address the Physical Disc situation
Then you have countless community notes calling them out
Sony did not expect this level of pushback
@Sony Hey Sony,
I've been your loyal fan since 1995.
Owned every single console & handheld.
Have hundreds of games per system.
This is what you get from me on PS5 launch day!
SONY CAN DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT FOR NOT PLAYING.
while everyone argued about disc drives, the internet actually read Sony's European Terms of Service. section 21 of the current terms - and the clause has been there for years.
- go 36 months without logging in, and Sony may begin closing your account
- they send one email warning. You get six months to respond
- miss that email, and your entire digital library - games, DLC, purchases - becomes permanently inaccessible
- "Account closure is irreversible" - direct quote from the document
now do the math with what Sony announced this week:
> from 2028 physical disc production for new games ends - there is no backup plan.
> three years of real life - deployment, illness, a broken console - and everything you've bought over the years hangs on a single email sent to whatever address you registered in 2026.
THE DISC NEVER ASKED IF YOU'D BEEN ACTIVE LATELY.
