As just about everyone in the industry is putting Sony on blast for deciding to kill physical media, we’re starting to see great names in gaming also come out to voice their heartfelt opinions.
Hideo Kojima, a big advocate for physical media in general and not just games, said it is quite sad to see Sony going down this road, saying it leads toward a frightening future.
Speaking on a panel at the Il Cinema in Piazza festival in Italy, Kojima reflected on Sony’s recent decision to stop producing any new discs for games released after January 2028, effectively changing the entire platform into an all-digital service. It’s already reportedly begun repurposing its disc factories and will likely continue to downsize them as that fateful month approaches.
