EU Confirms Sony Can Scrap Physical Discs
The European Union has officially acknowledged that they cannot block Sony from ditching physical discs in favor of a digital-only model. This massive shift means the tech giant could potentially move toward a more closed ecosystem, and it's a major hurdle for fans who rely on physical copies to ensure ownership and easier resale. If you’re an old-school gamer looking to have your collection sit on a shelf or trade games with friends, the fact that Sony has the legal right to make this move could signal a major change in turn of the next console generation.
