Hideo Kojima on PlayStation killing discs, 'frightened' for future of ownership

7 hours ago

Hideo Kojima expresses sadness over PlayStation discontinuing disc games from 2028 and fears cloud streaming dominance.
He worries that streaming subscription services could lead to loss of ownership if servers are controlled by companies or governments.
Kojima emphasizes that digital games at least store data on personal hardware, unlike streaming which offers only temporary access.
He relates his concerns to a 2021 tweet, highlighting the risk of losing access to beloved media due to political or social changes.
Sony will allow reprints of games released before 2028 and may offer digital codes in physical boxes for new releases.
