    True. but also, some places that don’t have reliable Internet access rely on physical media. They’re cutting out part of the market entirely.

        It says in the article that Sony (and other platforms too) have seen a significant drop in purchases of physical media. So I really think they just don’t care about those customers that rely on it and Even with some backlash this is likely to go ahead (same as with Blu-ray disks which are also being sunsetted). I can’t say I’m surprised that they’re doing this given that they want to stop manufacturing Blu-rays altogether.
