The founder of PlayStation has weighed in on Sony's decision to end game discs, saying it isn't "economically reasonable" to continue supporting them.

    Sony doesn’t even make anything if merit anymore.

    They stopped making televisions, the only thing of note are headphones which have decent profit margins but that market is so crowded their still not a top 3 player.

    These dipshits are playing Russian Roulette with their company by trying to strip consumers of their ownership.

    They’re literally staking their company’s survival on the idea that they can do this without their consumers simply walking away.

    Don’t let them.

      I haven’t bought anything Sony since they put malicious software on their CDs.
