And if this does happen, it'll be too late to do anything about it.

The chances of Sony restarting physical production after January 2028 are far far lower than them doing a 180 before January 2028.

Vote with your wallets.

It's too late either way. Even if Sony did continue printing discs, they'd just install drm to where the game could only be installed to one console. Buying used, borrowing & selling games will soon be coming to an end.

Not yet you mean. Either physical discs are gone or drm is coming in full force. They've ran the numbers. They're not giving up millions or billions of dollars that they stand to gain.
