PlayStation discs will soon be gone!
Wtf #sony ?
The #playstation account announced in a blog post that they will stop making game discs altogether. http://play.st/4v86Wg3
This means :
- No buying second hand. Once the game is not sold anymore nobody can buy it
- Can not bring the game to someone's house and play together, now you need to log into your account
- Sony can, for any or no reason remove a game from your library
- If you paid extra for a PS5 with a disc drive, too bad, you can't use the drive you paid extra for with games beyond 2028!
- Overall, a very slippery slope for ownership.

The discs have been a joke for a long time anyway. The first time I put a disc in and then was immediately prompted for a software update, it felt like I was cosplaying. Like what’s even the point? Modern discs don’t do anything anyway.
