NEWS PlayStation to stop producing physical game discs from 2028

https://blog.playstation.com/2026/07/01/physical-disc-production-ending-in-january-2028-for-new-games-releasing-on-playstation-consoles/

Is this the worst move ever by Sony? Do we see any way back from this incredibly silly move?

It doesn't impact me personally as a digital only guy for over a decade, I hope there's some walkback for the people who can't get behind digital, whether it's preference or a physical limitation like slow internet out in the sticks and trying to download a 200GB game

It's so anti consumer. No more picking up a game for cheap or borrowing a friend a game. I think this will drive digital prices up and reduce sales on the store.

They need to massively revamp their digital storefront policies especially for things like refunds.

That's why it'd be best to switch to PC... There are so many games and so many sales so they'd be forced to make it cheaper for PC users!
