@helloyanis @games YIKES, they must've been practically waiting for the GTA 6 announcement.Welp, I guess we're never buying any playstation anything in the future. We've /already/ lost access to any digital games for our PS4 we don't already have downloaded, because we'd have to update the console to redownload them and that would make it unhackable. And like... the physical games is the literal ONLY REASON to go console for us. If there's no advantage to going console and we don't own our games anyway, and might get locked out of them at any time with a system update, why not just buy everything on Steam?

I hope their sales reflect their stupid decision as a warning to other companies. As an Xbox guy, I guess I'll be doing my part?

The discs have been a joke for a long time anyway. The first time I put a disc in and then was immediately prompted for a software update, it felt like I was cosplaying. Like what's even the point? Modern discs don't do anything anyway.

Games not being playable on a PS5 with a disc drive is a bit much. They have internal storage the same as all other PS5s. In addition, discs are essentially just physical licenses these days and have been since the late days of the PS4. Rarely is the game that’s on the actual disc playable. More often than not you need to install an update to make it playable, meaning even if you have the disc you are still relying on Sony to ensure the game can be played.

I don’t think this is excusable or acceptable, but I do think people are blowing it out of proportion. PC gaming has been digital only for well over a decade. This is no different.
