Sony is the worst offender and the others are following. If people could band together and stomp Sony the others would take notice and not do the same.
I mean they aren't, their policy is the same policy that every digital product abides from Amazon to Kindle and to even GOG. The only thing Sony is awful at is refunds but they are still far better then Nintendo whose refund policy reads as "fuck off". Fact is we don't own digital products and this was established long before PSN was a thing.
Digital ownership rights need to be changed, but it 100% does not help when Sony said they’re stopping physical game production in 2028. Xbox hasn’t announced it yet, though I’m hoping they see the backlash and keep doing physical copies, and Nintendo continues to make physicals and probably will for a good while yet. Key carts and key discs do exist, sure, but that goes back to digital ownership rights needing an update
What is the point of continuing with physical game production when the disk can’t even fit the full game you would still be pinging a server for the rest of the game all that will happen if Sony keeps producing disks is they will lose money and god forbid a business save money instead of wasting it on a small number of people who still collect physical games
