Summary
The article discusses Sony's reported plan to end production of physical game discs for PlayStation by January 2028, with new games sold only digitally or as boxes containing download codes. It highlights the irony of Sony's shift given its 2013 E3 stance championing physical ownership, trade-ins, and lending. The piece argues this move harms consumer rights, game preservation, and retail, and calls on readers to pressure Sony to keep physical games alive.

New games will be sold digitally, or as a box containing only a download code, with no disc inside.
