A wave of PlayStation gamers are staging a boycott over Sony’s move away from physical games, arguing that the shift threatens game preservation, competition and true ownership. nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/p…

And there it is: no longer just games. Movies, Software, your GPS, all of it.
"You will own nothing and be happy" was never a statement of intent. It was a prophecy.

Of course PlayStation is not going to publicly say they’ll reverse their decision about physical games. They’re going to stand by it.
We still have 1.5 years. A lot can change before then. And don’t forget, we hold the power.
Sony CFO Lin Tao says they will not change their plans to end physical disc production and will cautiously move forward with the plan!
"There are various reasons we made this decision, the biggest being that the digitalization of content overall has been progressing, that’s the big factor. It’s not just for PlayStation, but for all kinds of content, digitalization is progressing.
And so when we think about the future–and we put in a lot of thought and time, and we cautiously considered this–and we came to this conclusion, and we’re going to cautiously move this forward. And to this decision, we have received various opinions and people have strong views, and we understand that the community has put forth those views to us.
Games are loved by many people. It’s a form of entertainment that’s loved by people, and it’s connected to people’s fond memories in many cases. And so we understand those emotions. We want to consider that. And in the future digital ecosystem, how do we engage the gamers is something that we would like to continue to explore."

It’s hilarious how billion-dollar companies make up the weakest excuses for decisions that are terrible for consumers, then expect everyone to just say, “Alright, cool. 👍”
Sony says that they have heard the backlash about their move to no longer manufacture game discs but they will still continue their plans.

Fuck @Sony.
No disc, no buy. PS5 will be my last console from you at this point.

@Sony lobbyists told the Senate that @Minecraft and @CallofDuty servers are illegal and constitute a black market for video games.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Sony is pushing an all-digital future without being upfront about its limits. PS5 downloads can't be played from USB drive,and expanding storage requires an expensive NVMe SSD. Digital games are licenses, not true ownership.Physical discs preserve choice and ownership

I too have purchased digital games on a PlayStation - either because they were only available digitally or the price was acceptable - but after what they've pulled, I simply stopped spending money on their storefront. I doubt it'll have any impact but it's easy to switch platform

Digital this, physical that.
My stance is that I'm done giving Sony any more money.

From January 2028, the real downfall of gaming begins
PlayStation Network is down again for millions of users, and people can’t play their license-purchased games.
Players around the world are reporting they can’t sign in, play online, access the PlayStation Store, or use other PSN features.
This is the future PlayStation is pushing: once servers are down or have problems, all your games will be useless.

If you’re shilling for @PlayStation at this point and you’re against physical media, you’re a tourist in gaming. It’s that simple.
Disc diddlers: "Sony has bribed Circana, Serkan Toto, Daniel Ahmad, Shinobi602, GameStop's CEO Ryan Cohen, former Valve writer Chet Faliszek, GameFly, IGN, Capcom, EU commissioner Michael McGrath."
Also disc diddlers: "Sony is on the brink of bankruptcy due to the boycott hitting so hard."
Writer Umberto Eco famously identified the "enemy is both strong and weak" slander tactic. The "villain" must simultaneously be an all-powerful puppet master, and at the same time a crumbling entity on the verge of collapse.
We are witnessing a level of brain rot that belongs in a museum. Thank you Sony for this comedy goldmine.
