The art behind delivering bad news is to lace it with something good. Something positive that people, especially those who like to own the things they buy, can find hope in. So naturally, when PlayStation announced the end of new game disc production from January 2028 onwards, effectively ripping the Band-Aid off in this highly digital age, it offered nothing even remotely hopeful as a make-do. It even crammed in the announcement of the PS3 and PS Vita stores shutting down, and revealed the underwhelming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (the bad one) for PlayStation Plus in July. A triple whammy like no other. Fans responded in kind with a continuing firestorm on social media, be it in tweets, YouTube videos, you name it. Well, with its latest financial report available, the top brass at Sony Group Corporation responded, acknowledging the “various opinions” and “strong views” that fans have to offer.
