Sony Nerfs Videogame Ownership

tech

EFF Deeplinks reports that Sony will stop producing physical game discs for PlayStation by January twenty twenty-eight, shifting players to digital-only purchases. This raises concerns about ownership: without physical media, gamers lose the legal right to resell games, become dependent on subscription services, and face the risk of losing access entirely if accounts are compromised or licensing deals change. The EFF is calling for policy reforms to extend traditional ownership protections to digital media.
