We have unfortunately been barrelling towards a digitised future for some time now, but Sony's latest news that PlayStation will be fully digital by 2028 has heightened fears that players have about ownership and the inability to preserve art. The fear is so palpable that people are looking back on Hideo Kojima's old take on the situation.
"Eventually, even digital data will no longer be owned by individuals on their own initiative," Kojima says in a social media post. "Whenever there is a major change or accident in the world, in a country, in a government, in an idea, in a trend, access to it may suddenly be cut off."
