At this point, I think it's time to accept reality. Sony isn't going to reverse course because of the backlash, no matter how loud it gets. Believe me, I wasn't happy about it myself. In fact, I was furious when the news first broke. I grew up with physical games, starting way back with cartridges on the SEGA Master System II, so seeing physical media slowly disappear is something that genuinely saddens me. But after taking a step back, I honestly think this shift was inevitable. The writing has been on the wall for years with digital downloads, digital-only consoles and changing buying habits. Just look at PC gaming, physical discs have all but disappeared, with the vast majority of games now bought digitally through storefronts such as Steam. Whether we like it or not, the console market has been heading in the same direction for quite some time. That doesn't mean we have to like it, and there's nothing wrong with continuing to support physical media while it's still around. But we also have to accept that the industry is moving in a different direction, whether we agree with it or not. That said, if Sony is truly going all-in on digital, then consumers deserve something in return. The cost savings from no longer manufacturing, packaging and distributing physical games should be reflected in lower digital prices and better value for players. More importantly, digital ownership needs to evolve. If I'm paying full price for a game or film, I should genuinely own it, not simply purchase a licence with restrictions attached. While games that you've bought are usually still available to download even if they're later delisted, consumers are ultimately relying on the platform holder to maintain access. We should be moving towards a system where legitimately purchased digital content is protected for the long term, giving people the same confidence and permanence they've always had with physical media. It's not the future the majority of us wanted, but it increasingly looks like the future we're getting. Time to move forward, keep enjoying the games we love, and make the most of what's ahead, while continuing to push for a fairer digital future. @PlayStationUK @PlayStation: I hope you take my thoughts into serious consideration and thought. #PlayStation #Gaming #PhysicalMedia
