They've whittled down game ownership and are now ready to toss it out the window completely to increase their profits.

In retaliation I now post notice that from today Sony does not own the money I transfer to them in exchange for goods or services. They have a limited, time bound, non-exclusive license to those funds which may be revoked by me at any time. By accepting my money, Sony also agrees to mandatory arbitration overseen by my 10 year old cat.

First they make their console come in versions with and without disk drives where the disk version is rarer and more expensive, now suddenly there’s not enough demand for physical games to keep manufacturing them.

“Shifting consumer preference” indeed.

Now watch everyone flee back to Xbox or Nintendo.

It's truly enshittification at its finest. They think they've got all these gamers locked into the ecosystem bc PC building/gaming is pricing people out, Steam box will be over $1000, Xbox is fucking up stuff and cutting back, so it's a race to fuck stuff up but just slightly less than the competition so they have a "competitive edge".

And there we have it, the fabled year of the death of physical game media...
