Description
The era of physical games is officially dead. With PlayStation announcing a hard January 2028 cutoff for all physical disc production, and massive leaks exposing Xbox’s next-gen console, Project Helix, as a completely digital-only machine, but gamers are fighting the wrong fight.
We need to stop screaming at clouds to save the disc drive and start fighting a much bigger battle: the war for true digital ownership, portable digital licenses, and friction-free refunds.
If we don't change our strategy right now, we are walking straight into a corporate monopoly where you own practically nothing. Let's break down what's really happening behind closed doors at Sony and Microsoft.
