This announcement made me not want to buy anymore PS4 or PS5 games. Even if they reverse course (which I doubt) I still won't buy anymore PS4/PS5 games. I'll just stick with PC, Xbox Series X and Switch 2 for modern gaming.

I always buy my games physically for console and sometimes digitally if the price is right (mostly handhelds) and I love collecting retro. After I get the last remaining games for my PS3 from the PS Store before it closes I'm done with modern Playstation. I'll just stick with my good old retro PS consoles.

It's very undestanstadable to be mad at Sony, which I am so, so very much.

But if you buy most games physically, as I do, how is going to PC, a platform as close to 100% digital as possible, or sticking with Series X, where most Microsoft own games come incomplete or entirely missing aside from a key to download on the disc, be much better?

Playstation was the last place where having a big physical collection made sense, most Switch 2 games are mostly an empty plastic case with a download key as well.

Sure, there will still be some physical games outside of Playstation, mostly Nintendo first party games tho, but Sony is pretty much killing physical gaming aside from Nintendo first party games, there is nowhere to run to solve it, sadly.

This!

Also if a game was somehow on Xbox physically and fully on disc, but got released after 2028, I would buy an Xbox just to have a physical DRM-Free copy of that game. 

But for the most part this is the end for physical-gamers. Aside from Nintendo 1st party and a handful of 3rd party Switch 2 games there's not going to be anymore physical games. :(
