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.

    What makes you think they can’t take away your license to a physical copy? Concord anyone?

      They totally could but that’s a hell of a line to cross. Not so much the online only stuff, but like literally everything? Why actually buy things at that point?
