Sony’s announcement that it will end production of games on physical discs in 2027 has sent shockwaves through the PlayStation community.
Even in a gaming world that’s dominated by digital distribution, fans and industry-watchers took note. Some call the change inevitable.
Tech expert Omar Gallaga says some gamers lament the loss of a medium where users have more control of what they’ve purchased.
Highlights from this segment:
– Sony says most gamers purchase digital copies, rather than discs, and that digital versions are cheaper than physical media.
