Stop Killing Games has failed in the EU (though they have already expected this).
Now, Stop Killing Games has also failed in California. On a technicality.

Apparently "play" has its limits.
But "pay" has no limits.

Guess with memory prices that dream will never happen.

It's not just sony who is ending physical media in 2028.
Deadbox is also doing the same to their next console release.
It feels "coordinated".
Just like ID verification.

Most sales are digital anyway. And all the sheep spouting 'you will own nothing and be happy' is hilarious. We cannot stay on blu ray discs forever.

Anonymous, 02 Jul 2026slowly but surely their next plan is subscriber / stream onlyIt's not soon when that is already in effect for a long time. At least over past 10 years. Subscribe to be able to play the games you own in online mode as multiplayer mode.
On PC you buy a game and you play how ever you like it without any extra fee to what ever party.

optical disc media itself is nearing its end. It's possible that Blu-ray discs will also cease production in the near future. If you don't like that, how about reviving Memory Sticks?

The thing is more on the part of game studios that have just produced tra$h that people don't even want to pirate the games. And that is actually really bad to offer games cheap for different markets as that would make people pirate more cause of their own region higher price that feels totally ripping them off.
The main reason why people buy games over pirating is the online content like multiplayer. You can't play online these pirated games. Single player games are still pirated more cause these are way more stable without the copyright protection programs in the games that cause most of the issues in games to perform bad.

Problem is not digital content itself in online stores. Problem is content that you pay to have it and not own it.

AnonymousCRL, 02 Jul 2026PC Games piracy is back on track now in 2026 though, with Hypervisor bypass and Voices38 cracks. Amen. Also console jailbreak and npc type of repos are the way forward. It's time Sony tastes the Microsoft "success"

And Sony is punishing himself to a new terms. They think all country or household had very good bandwith internet, to my country almost household are using 1~5mbps internet speed because here is pricey every number of bandwidth.
