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.

@IceWolf @games It’s funny you say that because I have a PS2 and all the games still work on it. I was actually playing a PS2 game when I wrote this post!
Ah the good times… :blobcatpensive:
@helloyanis @games PS3 too! Our PS3 is pretty great.
Funnily enough, it can spoof its version so IT has no problem going online! We can even buy legit digital games on a hacked console.
(hey Sony, consider: if you lock hacked-console people out of buying games because you block them from PSN, they HAVE to pirate if they’re not going physical)
