Canadian Petition Urges Sony to Save PlayStation Discs Beyond 2028
TL;DR
A Change.org petition launched by Canadian retailer PNP Games to “Don’t Kill the Disc” has gathered over 220,000 signatures, urging Sony to keep disc-based PlayStation games alive beyond the January 2028 end of disc production. Proponents argue physical media sustains jobs, retailers, distributors, and the resale/collection market, while not opposing digital, they want ownership and choice to remain available even as Sony pushes toward an all-digital future.
