PlayStation announced that they will stop making disks. People are rightfully mad about this, but it's not actually about physical media. It's about owning your games.

I made a new blog post giving my thoughts on PlayStation not making disks anymore, and the arguments around it.

I personally don’t think most people care about physically owning media (and some people even suggested PC should start going back to physical). It’s more about digital ownership rights.

    I know I’m in what feels like a growing minority, but I will always pick up a physical copy if given a chance.

    I bought a few physical games for my PS4 back in the day and I still regret it. I can still play all the digital games I bought back then but lost all physical games. No idea where they are. Digital games are linked to my account and impossible to misplace.

      Losing physical copies of games is the worst. Having everything tethered to an account can be a big plus.

      I know for me that my Steam and GOG libraries will keep growing so long as I keep my accounts secure and know my credentials.
