The days of the disc are officially over as Sony moves on from physical media. Yes, the very same Sony that introduced discs to the game market in the 90s will forever be remembered as the ones who backed out of a tradition as old as the medium itself. Whether you game digitally or physically, you will feel this shift as PlayStation centralizes their market around a single storefront that they control.

I'm mostly physical on ps5 rn but I think I'll start transitioning over to pc after this happens as If games are going all digital than I would rather do it on the platform with most freedom
These companies don't deserve us
Dynamic pricing alone makes an all digital storefront a dangerous proposition for the consumer.
Opening the game in the car ride home and reading the manual just to try and contain the excitement. They were blessed times
Sony completely erased any interest I had in a PS6.
You are not the customer. Shareholders are.
What if psn gets hacked again? What happens to all our games on an only digital platform huh?? 👀
This is the end of modern gaming for me. I have hundreds of disks to play in my backlog. Been on the Sony train since the PS1 but I am getting off here.
This is the first time I’ve actually felt sadness with video game news
I was itching for Mattys response, i feel so crazy about this, it IS that serious. Time to ramp up my physical collection
I’m convinced we all died in 2020 and this is just hell.
no physical = no purchase, as easy as that for me
That halo 3 midnight launch video is gold.
Stopping physical copies right after informing people they are removing digital copies of movies from PlayStation accounts is freaking hilarious. 😂
These companies are NOTHING without the gamers' pockets. Remember that!!!
PlayStation will have full price control of the store and if they deemed you “problematic” bye bye to your purchases
it's so sad man, for a second there it felt like PS was gonna be the last ones holding onto physical, what with allowing you to add a disc drive if you bought digital, and of course the ps4 marketing, just for them to be the first ones to fully commit to going completely all digital, it really sucks
"Buying PS6 on day one" Yeah, that's why they get away with this lmao. Keep buying their products day 1, continue buying their digital games. That will show them.
Arguably the worst day in gaming history…
- $1000 rumored price - $80 games with little to no sales - Subscription to play online Yea Sony lost the plot. Despite insane prices for parts, I think you’d be saving money long term if you get a PC over a PS6.
