Lucia Melcherts, chair of Stichting Massaschade & Consument statement:

The end of physical discs removes the last place where a PlayStation game could still be bought and sold at a competitive price. No discs means no second-hand market and no alternative to the PlayStation Store, so from 2028, Sony alone decides what a game costs and even how long you are allowed to use it. That is exactly the harm our Fair PlayStation claim is about: a price can never be fair when the buyer is left with no ownership and no alternative.

    They didn’t regulate it for music. They didn’t regulate it for movies. You lost that fight when you didn’t fight for the other industries.

    (Strong regulations with carve outs for- mobile, indie, online games etc etc… or you kill small developers)
