Killing PS5 Discs Just Makes Sense, Even If It Angers People, Former PlayStation Exec Says

Ken Kutaragi, the Father of PlayStation, has supported Sony's decision to end support for PS5 game discs by 2028. Speaking to VGC, Kutaragi acknowledged the backlash from users who value physical ownership but argued that such a mentality is not economically reasonable. He compared the shift to smartphones, noting that users no longer view physical media as necessary for networked devices, as they trust their content will be preserved digitally within the ecosystem.
