This is why they want to get ride of discs. It’s the last barrier to us having no rights at all!

Hace unas semanas la diputada Iraís Reyes denunció a Sony en México por monopolio ante el plan de eliminar los juegos físicos para 2028.
Argumenta que eliminar los juegos físicos para 2028 deja a la tienda digital sin competencia: sin reventa, sin préstamos y con el precio que les dé la gana

Movies still come on Blu-ray, music is still pressed on vinyl and books still fill store shelves. But as Sony moves to phase out physical PlayStation releases, many gamers are asking why video games should be the first major entertainment medium to go all digital. nbcnews.com/tech/video-games…

Sony announced them killing off physical games with a tweet and a blog post like it was some regular Wednesday, expecting people will be mad for a bit and move on.
And now the backlash has gotten so big it’s being covered by mainstream news outlets.
DON’T LET UP, DON’T SHUT UP.

Digital purchases are licenses, not ownership. Sony can revoke access. This raises concerns about long-term ownership, game preservation, resale, lending, and reliance on servers/stores

Wanted to buy cyberpunk today, saw it still at $60 on the PS store, checked how much local retailers were selling the physical and found it for $30. At the end of the day, that’s all this is about. A monopoly only ensures every consumer loses.

The reputational damage they've inflicted upon themselves this console gen can't be understated.
The PS6 lead up is one of disgust.
Influence of Sony's current franchises is also not as powerful as it was entering into this gen, I really think Sony has overplayed their hand.

Just to clear confusion, I see a lot of people saying "oh Sony is just trying to save money by cutting physical releases".
No they are not, they are actually willing to cut down a good chunk of income to create full market control.
If physical games were a loss leader there would have been something completely wrong with the production and distribution of video games and gaming wouldn't be as big as it was today.
Financially speaking this done to increase prices down the road, lock people into an eco system and make people dependent on their platform by creating sunk-cost fallacy. All your eggs in one basket. Because once you spend 1000's of dollars into your account. Its going to be really hard to just give it up. Because you can't just go out and sell your collection on ebay.
But yeah tell me again why this is supposed to be good for you as a customer. You are willingly becoming the products and you don't even realize it.

Wake the fuck up gamer. Vote with your wallets. Continue to speak against this.
Sony Discusses Potential Future PlayStation Plus Price Hikes

Looks like Sony is trying to hide the consequences from their screw-up from investors. Make sure they still feel it in September when they have to stand trial before them.
Just to show you how scummy Sony is being with this news.
They anticipated their numbers would drop through people protesting/boycotting by canceling Ps Plus and pre-orders but they won't have to show their numbers to investors until the end of September.
Their next earnings call is July 31st however it only covers up to June 30th. They planned this out perfectly to drop it on July 1st for this very reason. The numbers dip early July, they have over 2 months to watch them HOPEFULLY recover as the deperate gamers crawl back and the investors see that Sony moving away from physical games didn't hurt anything.
Keep this is mind as we move forward. Sony is betting on you caving and crawling back to them in the coming weeks. Oh and so are the investors.

We should talk more about why the disc price and the download price of a game are EVER the same
