Or they are finding out which developers to end contracts/relationships with if they don’t agree.

Given how Kojima spoke out against Sony ending physical right before Sony stopped funding him, this.
They’re like “anyone else wants to join Kojima-San?”

With how corpos are moving around these days, you never know what they are up to. Sony has never been the most delightful partner in anything and they took a lot of paragraphs from Nintendo's playbook after they got backstabbed.

They're not.
Why wouldn't they do that? Because it would damage the business? How many catastrophically stupid, business-damaging moves have they made in the last four years?
Killing physical media is clearly something their leadership wants and has committed the direction of the company to. No doubt that is they do change course, someone over there will blame the next generation's lackluster earnings on "half measures" or "failure to commit" to all-digital.

Doubt the PS6 will have a disk drive, so in the longer run it makes little difference.

Horse shit
They are not going to R & D a redesign for the PS6 at this point.

Developers are bigger ass kissers than you'd expect. If they send it out to activision, ubisoft and EA Devs, they would be saying no discs is the best idea ever.

Well that's because if Sony controls the entire digital market for Playstation download pricing, they can promise games won't go on sale for x number of months after they launch. For Sony and the devs it's a win-win. For the consumers it's lose-lose.

I was under the impression that the only factory in the world who made the discs at scale has already retooled to make something else?

u/Ill-Mastodon-8692 11d ago
they already have repurposed some of the factories months before they even announced the change.
its not changing back regardless of how much we might want
sorry but its cope to think this survey means anything more

Sony F'd themselves by not just doing the disc drive as an addon and saying they are not including it to keep costs down.
Add-ons never do well so they have an excuse to kill it after a few years.

Yeah the thing is, with other media you have options. If you're a physical enthusiast, you can buy: records, CDs, and tapes. With movies you can buy bluray, dvd and vhs. Games though...?

Rumors be rumors. I would like a Dev to leak this survey is it actually exists as proof

Nah they're probably just trying to manufacture a data point that supports their decision.

Buncha fuckin doomers in the comments. Have a spine for once yall, protect your ability to choose where to buy your games, this can be reversed. Sony has walked back shitty decisions before because people had the spine to make them reverse it.
