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.

It’s not fucking food. It’s a consumer product. The only way to stop this is to quit fucking buying it. But gamers are entitled whiny children who think their fucking game discs are more important than energy and food pricing. So instead of fixing real problems our fucking entire summer is going to be filled with relentless bitch crying.
