Following Sony's announcement that it will discontinue manufacturing physical game discs for new PlayStation releases starting in January 2028, EU Consumer Protection Commissioner Michael McGrath clarified the bloc's stance. He noted that the decision remains a matter of commercial freedom. Key Details of the EU's Position Commercial Freedom: Commissioner McGrath stated that it comes down to "commercial and contractual freedoms".Allowed Formats: Companies are legally free to offer games and services in whatever manner they see fit. Regulatory Limits: The EU has no legal basis to dictate an industry’s specific business model or mandate physical media production.Consumer Rights: Legal intervention will only occur if companies violate existing consumer-protection or national laws. Context of the Backlash The EU's clarification arrived after passionate pushback from the gaming community. Outraged fans launched major online petitions, such as the "Don't Kill the Disc" campaign, to pressure lawmakers into intervening. Simultaneously, gaming preservation groups have been challenging the EU regarding digital-only models, though the EU previously ruled that it cannot legally force publishers to keep dead games playable after commercial support ends. #stopkillinggames #digitaldistribution #Sony
