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.
Even if it is an answer, is your suggestion to wait for a theoretical solution that hasn’t appeared so far and doesn’t seem to be on the horizon, to the exclusion of doing anything else?
Idealism isn’t strengthening your argument.
How about doing multiple things, you know, just in case, on the very small (minuscule, really) off-chance you happen to be incorrect or even not fully correct ?[1]
As unlikely as that scenario is , i mean ↩︎
