TLDR

A post criticizing Sony’s digital strategy argues that losing physical games would give the PlayStation Store more room to raise prices, without physical-game alternatives. It also cites an estimate of around $1,000 for PS6 hardware and warns that prioritizing investors over players could hurt game quality. The author urges players to push back before these changes become normalized.
