    Sony just killed any reason for me to even consider consoles ever again. What, you’ve got 10 exclusives? Cool.

    Xbox’s Project Helix is doing the same.

    If I’m digital only it’ll just be PC. At least I have DRM free options.

    They know very well what they are doing. The market is saturated with good games, and they want to cut off the second hand market entirely. You cannot resell digital games.

      This could get interesting with the EU. It was ruled that the customer has the right to sell his license.

      If someone defends this, Sony must provide a way to do that.

    I remember a certain PS4 promo of one Sony exec handing a game to another after after the reveal of the Xbox one. Competition is a good thing

    Just staggeringly anti-consumer. I guess this will be my last console generation then, I refuse to not have a disc drive and no second hand market

    And this will be me shifting to all PC gaming. If I must go digital only, I would rather give my money to Steam. Sony has proven itself not the most trustable with digital content (example the recent purge of movies people purchased)

      i mean it still sucks compared to reselling, but its possible to share your library on steam with friends at least.

      best store would be gog but as a gamer on linux its not as easy as it should be.

    I’m sort of okay with this. Discs are antiquated in 2026. They should at least throw us consumers a bone with a PlayStation that plays all legacy games.

      I’m sort of okay with this.

      I guess Sony didn’t revoke any movies you bought without any refund just a few days ago?
