If we don't make a stand now, it's over! Plain and simple. Sony attacks a core element of video game culture by killing physical media. It will hurt retailers, creators, media, developers, loyal fans, and casual players alike. Nobody wins! Which side of history will you be on?

Oh. OH! The "Save the Disc" petition is a good bit past 300k already! One day you spend a little time watching the World Cup and suddenly this thing hit another huge milestone. Keep it going! Spread the word!
Even among under 25 yo a quarter uses discs. £300 million market value in the UK last year. Sony killing discs will have horrible consequences for large parts of the gaming space and the ERA in the UK sees it exactly like we do, says this VGC article:

BREAKING: Obsidian Entertainment is making a big pivot as part of the Xbox restructuring. It has laid off a quarter of its staff, canceled a planned sequel to Avowed, and is now beginning work on a new Fallout game, according to people familiar with the plans www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Sony blindsided its own partners with their "kill discs" strategy. We heard from multiple insiders that 3rd party had no clue it was coming. Now a report suggests 1st party/AAA was steamrolled too. Sony screws the industry, and doesn't even give its own folks time to brace.
Now that Sony told you they will kill discs in less than two years, how long do you think they will keep that disc drive authentication we warned everyone about running? System reset? Swapping parts? That thing becoming a brick is now closer than ever!
