Sony announced it will stop printing physical game discs from January 2028, sparking backlash from the gaming community. A Change.org petition started by independent Canadian games retailer Jade Pearce has reached over 150,000 signatures, and a Digital Foundry YouTube poll saw 65,000+ viewers vote against the decision. The core sentiment is not opposition to digital distribution, but concern about removing physical media as an option entirely.
