This goes along great with todays news also:

From September 1, 2026, due to our content licensing agreements, you will no longer be able to access your previously purchased content from Studio Canal, and it will be removed from your video library.

Least we owned the stuff we had. Now it seems you buy it on digital and it can be taken away from you. Never saw that coming mind...

Mannnn owning the game was always an epic experience.

Especially unravelling the case and being in awe.

 

[roydan]

Well that sucks. I love discs.

 

[Octavia]

Yeah and then they'll say you do not own the game copy but you are merely renting it.


At the same time every shit linked to online accounts can be deactivated making you lose everything.


Stupid corporate

Too much less clutter

This will be BIG opportunity for marketers who work on emulators or have sites for emulation like rom or ISO sites. The people, they are VERY angry about this change. Take advantage while you can.

I merged the @Miyamoto thread with this one.

That's a bummer. I really liked physical discs. Maybe I'm just too old for gaming. But if they're going download-only, they should at least increase the PlayStation's storage capacity by 50% without raising the price (which won't happen, I know).
