MossyBig announcement from #Sony today:
"Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles"
While I understand this decision from a corporate standpoint, I'm really not a fan. This is the definitive end of ownership of #videogames on #PlayStation. From here on, you're just paying for a license that can be revoked if they want to.
No resale, no more lending to friends and family and don't get me started about public libraries that have made games accessible to people who don't have the money to buy them.

Ars TechnicaSony erases digital content from libraries; we're reminded we don't own what we buy
Hacker NewsStudio Canal Movies purchased on PlayStation Store removed without refund
thecybersecguruIf buying isn't owning... what exactly did you pay for?
Sony is removing 551 movies from PlayStation libraries on September 1, including Terminator 2, Rambo, Apocalypse Now and hundreds more.
No refunds.
No store credit.
No offline copy.
This isn't just about Sony.
It's about the future of digital ownership, DRM, licensing, and why your "purchases" can disappear overnight.
I dug into:
🎬 Why this is legally possible
🔐 The DRM systems behind digital media
⚖️ How the DMCA protects platforms, not consumers
💿 Why physical media still matters
📺 What this means for every digital storefront
