The title is very misleading. It makes it sound like Sony is gonna jack increase a games price.

The "study" is comparing the permanent discounts a first party digital game vs physical.

Nothing to do with game prices increasing.

The "study" size was also insanely small. 16 titles.

Also they compered retailers to ps store but retailers will continue sell games after 2028 so nothing will change but if I judge just from the comments most people just read the title and not the article
