Last week, analyst Daniel Ahmad compared the end of physical PlayStation games to the end of disc drives in Apple laptops, noting that nobody these days really seems to care about PC games having gone all-digital. The full post was lengthy and nuanced, but the internet tends not to read that far (congrats on making it over 50 words into this article, by the way), so now he's further clarifying what he meant on social media.
"When I compared Sony stopping disc production to CD drives being removed from computers, I'm talking in the context of games shipping on disc," Ahmad says on Bluesky. "Obviously you can buy an external drive for a PC, but virtually no modern PC game. This isn't me saying 'Wow I love Sony and they are great for doing this', it's to say that PC is essentially 100% digital and you'll be hard pressed to find anyone pining for the days of physical PC games."
