Thanks for having me.

Yeah, so Sony recently announced that as of January 2028, it will not be producing physical discs for new PlayStation games.

So that means that in order to play any new game after that point on a PlayStation, you're going to have to digitally download it from a digital storefront like Sony's PlayStation Store.

Right, yes.

If you look at PlayStation's terms of service, they do say, and I quote, you can use a product in the ways described in the license, but you do not own the product.

So essentially what you're buying when you buy a digital copy of a game...

or even a movie or show that you stream, you're not actually buying that media as your property.

Instead, what you're buying is a license to use that product and view it and play it, what have you.

And that license can go away if the company that you bought it from loses the right to distribute that content, which we've seen happen before.

Yeah, I mean, I think I mean, I've been there personally before.

I've even with Amazon specifically, I bought a movie and maybe a couple of years ago and try to watch it again.

It's not there.

I could swear that I bought it.

And then, you know, I look on Amazon storefront and they may not even have it anymore.

And that's why I lost the right to to watch it.

Sony specifically actually has a history or some history of removing content from people's libraries online.

Even recently, they have removed movies produced and distributed by a company called Studio Canal.

So any movie from that company was removed from people's libraries in the UK, Germany, and Australia.

And even here in the US, Sony has erased people's digital copies of Funimation DVDs and Blu-rays that originally came with the purchases of those physical copies.

And Sony owns Funimation, by the way.
