PlayStation announced that they will stop making disks. People are rightfully mad about this, but it's not actually about physical media. It's about owning your games.

I made a new blog post giving my thoughts on PlayStation not making disks anymore, and the arguments around it.

I personally don’t think most people care about physically owning media (and some people even suggested PC should start going back to physical). It’s more about digitally owning your games.

    Steam also doesnt force DRM, it’s developers/publishers deciding to use it in the first place.

    You’d only need Steam DRM for your game if you want to use any features like Steam multiplayer, workshop etc.

    So while it’s easy to bypass, most games dont even need it in the first place.
