Gaming Community Rises Up Against Sony's Disc Removal Move
The gaming community is hitting back against Sony’s decision to phase out physical disc manufacturing by January 2028. A grassroots petition titled 'Don't Kill the Disc' has already gathered over 170,000 signatures as fans demand more ownership and physical media for their collections. This massive wave of support shows just how deeply valued physical discs are still a play in huge fanbases; if Sony doesn't listen to those numbers, they could face serious backlash from long-term loyalists.
