The European Commission says it cannot stop Sony from ending physical PlayStation games.
In response to questions from a Member of the European Parliament, the Commission said companies are “free to offer games and services in the manner that they see fit,” as long as they follow existing consumer protection laws.
The Commission also said it has no legal basis to require companies to keep selling physical games or force them to support a specific business model.
Instead, it will continue monitoring the market and enforce EU consumer protection rules where necessary.
