Apparently there will be some boycott of PS in regards of decision to discontinue disks.

From 23 to 30 of August.

    The comparison still doesn’t make sense. You can’t play a PlayStation disc on a different platform. If you buy a disc on console you are locked to that ecosystem.

    Sony are doing this because not enough people buy discs to make it worth manufacturing, and PC gamers should know this because this new age of digital gaming started with the PC. Switching to PC just proves their point.

      You are locked to the ecosystem, but the disc function can’t be revoked through account ban and is actually transferable to other people because of that.

      Something Sony dislikes compared to digital where there is no second hand market.

      Switching to PC proves the point that if games are digital people prefer open hardware and open OS options over locked down hardware.
