Just to show you how scummy Sony is being with this news.
They anticipated their numbers would drop through people protesting/boycotting by canceling Ps Plus and pre-orders but they won't have to show their numbers to investors until the end of September.
Their next earnings call is July 31st however it only covers up to June 30th. They planned this out perfectly to drop it on July 1st for this very reason. The numbers dip early July, they have over 2 months to watch them HOPEFULLY recover as the deperate gamers crawl back and the investors see that Sony moving away from physical games didn't hurt anything.
Keep this is mind as we move forward. Sony is betting on you caving and crawling back to them in the coming weeks. Oh and so are the investors.

According to Christopher Dring, Sony is currently facing multiple legal cases over claims that the PlayStation Store has too much control over digital game sales.
Here are the main lawsuits:
> United Kingdom – An ongoing £2 billion ($2.7 billion) class action claims Sony abused its dominant position by making the PlayStation Store the only place to buy digital PlayStation games and add-ons.
>United States – Sony recently agreed to a $7.85 million settlement in a class action over its 2019 decision to stop retailers from selling digital PlayStation game download codes.
>Netherlands – Sony is also facing a collective lawsuit alleging the PlayStation Store charges unfairly high prices because of its control over digital game sales.
Sony ending physical PlayStation discs in 2028 is exactly the future I paint in my work... You buy things you never truly own, because they live on servers you cannot reach, switched off whenever they decide. Sold to you as progress. You will own nothing and be happy.
