From the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition to reports that the PlayStation 6 could launch without a disc drive, Sony's push toward an all-digital future has ignited fierce debate. While digital games offer convenience, many players worry about game ownership, preservation, physical media, resale, and what a disc-less future could mean for gaming as a whole. In this shorter, more off-the-cuff animated episode, we dive into why PlayStation's digital-first strategy has become so controversial, where we think Sony is getting it wrong, and what the company should do before it loses even more goodwill with its fans.
