A digital law specialist says the disc never made you an owner either. He is right. It is also the weakest argument for not caring, and here is exactly why.

Naughty Dog and Bend have not shipped a game this generation. Bluepoint was handed a live-service God of War, then closed. The disc row got the headlines; this is what people are actually angry about.

Three separate stories, one date. Disc manufacturing ends January 2028. Analysts put the PS6 at late 2028. Sony says memory stays expensive through FY2027. Put them together and the disc decision reads very differently.

Your console keeps working. Your discs keep working. Nothing breaks in January 2028 — but three decisions get harder, and one of them is worth making this year.

A September date is circulating and nothing is confirmed. Sony has announced no event. Here is the difference between what has been reported and what has been invented.

Insomniac's M-rated Wolverine arrives on PS5 on 15 September, and Sony is shipping a limited-quantity console bundle and accessories on the same day.

Wolverine on the 15th. Silent Hill and Control on the 24th. Onimusha on the 25th. One game already fled the month entirely — and it was probably the right call.

The announcement is short, specific, and narrower than the headlines suggest. Here is the exact wording, what it covers, and the four questions Sony did not answer.

Sony is expected to receive a significant tariff refund of around $508 million from the U.S. government following a February Supreme Court ruling that deemed Trump-era global tariffs illegal, impacting consumer costs on hardware and accessories. The refunds have been primarily directed towards Sony’s gaming segment, which could see these funds allocated for future improvements or passed down to consumers in the form of lower prices—a point now highlighted by ongoing lawsuits from gamers demanding repayment.
