In today's Daily Fix: Gamers are doing all they can to stop PlayStation from killing physical media, including appealing to the European Union. But according to the European Commissioner for Consumer Protection, the EU can't step in due to "commercial and contractual freedoms." Basically, Sony getting rid of games on discs in 2028 does not violate any member nation's laws or the EU's laws. In happier news, Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced sold two million units in a single day, and had the best concurrents of any AC title on Steam. And finally, Disney's latest live-action remake, Moana, barely tread water in its opening weekend. The movie brought in a global total of $100 million and is unlikely to break even against its reported $250 million budget. #IGN #Gaming #PlayStation
