The petition against Sony's decision to kill PlayStation physical discs has over 170,000 signatures

A Change.org petition opposing Sony's decision to end PlayStation physical disc manufacturing in January 2028 has gathered over 170,000 signatures. Started by Canadian retailer PNP Games, the petition argues that Sony's move eliminates consumer ownership rights, reduces marketplace choice, and harms game preservation—contrasting the company's 2013 E3 promise that players could trade, sell, lend, or keep games forever. The petition warns that when the market leader abandons physical media, the rest of the industry will follow.
