@BGRWhile Sony continues to endure backlash over its decision to scrap physical games in 2028, Xbox has just introduced a way to convert your disc games to digital.20d

@wccftechShawn Layden predicted Sony wouldn't go discless, but ex-PlayStation chief now calls 2028 disc cutoff a 'significant brand hit'. 🔗 https://wccf.tech/1lc7a "At the same time, and I think this is probably the more insidious aspect to it, is that it changes the conversation from, 'Do you own a game?' to, 'Do you have access to a digital asset?' If you don’t own a thing, that means you can't sell a thing. If you can't sell a thing, that means you don't own a thing. And if you don't own it, then what are you buying? If you're buying access, that doesn't quite sound as sexy, to be honest."19d
