Regulatory policy for customer protection. The “stop killing games” initiative raises good points: make games playable in perpetuity and clearly state if you are only renting a license, rather than buying.
I’m going to fight this by purchasing digital games on steam. That’ll show 'em.
But seriously, this isn’t an attack from Sony, it’s a reaction. People are trending towards digital purchases on all platforms. If the PlayStation is irrelevant without physical games then they will die by their own sword. Prior to this plenty of people were denigrating consoles as overpriced locked down computers anyway, this hardly makes a difference.
