Sony phases out PlayStation discs, and gamers are furious

Sony is quietly closing the book on physical PlayStation discs, and gamers are not taking it lying down. The company has been steadily shrinking the role of disc-based games in its PlayStation lineup, shifting toward digital-only consoles and downloads. Now, with the recent rollout of the PlayStation 5 Pro - a console that ships without a disc drive as standard - the backlash over ownership rights has gone mainstream. Players argue that if they cannot buy a physical copy, they do not truly own the game, and Sony is effectively taking that choice away.
