the backlash is already massive. 5k negative comments on the official blog post and counting. ign, dexerto, local non gaming news accounts from my country all full of people in comments saying they want to go pc or xbox if sony follows through.

i know theres a lot of defeatist talk here about how physical media is dead but almost everyone is taking this as a big deal even if they buy all their games on digital. people want that choice.
