Disgaea Creator Slams PlayStation's Decision To Remove Physical Games

Sohei Niikawa, creator of Disgaea and former CEO of Nippon Ichi Software, criticized PlayStation's plan to discontinue physical game production from 2028 onward. Niikawa argued that physical games hold cultural and emotional value for fans—as keepsakes, collectibles, and items to be signed at events—and that Sony's executives likely don't understand this meaning because they focus only on cost-cutting business logic.
