Discs are going in 2028.
They ripped that Band-Aid off.
I'm gonna say my theory is the fact that it was probably, the, probably, the plan was that because the PS6 is gonna launch in 2027, was the original plan, they're probably gonna have no disc for the PS6, and therefore ended disc production because of PlayStation 6.
But obviously, 'cause the PlayStation 6 has been delayed probably 'cause of the, everything costing everything in the world.
But they already had these contracts in place probably from four years ago, or three or four years ago.
They probably just didn't bother to change the end date is my guess.
And everyone's pissed off about this.
Me, myself, I don't care that much, but still, I know a lot of people are angry about it, including KFC and Domino's.
Um, but- And probably other companies, but those were the ones that I spotted the most.
Anyway, Alfonso, you seem to have any, some thoughts on it.
Um, yeah, this is not good.
Uh, first of all, PlayStation are some hypocrites because Xbox tried this in 2013 when there was next, the, when they announced the Xbox One, and PlayStation did that commercial where they said, "Oh, you can share your games." And look what they doing, they're doing the same thing that Xbox tried to do 13 years ago.
Um, I get it.
I get why they're doing it.
Um, this is not good for us who collect physical games.
So, yeah, gaming moving forward is gonna be very difficult.
It's gonna be difficult for people who bought them digitally.
It's gonna be difficult for people who already bought physical games, sold them.
Sony pulled this move, they try to buy it back, it's three or four times the price than normal prices.
Yeah, this is not...
I don't like where gaming is going.
This is not good, and yeah, I, [laughs] I, that's all I gotta say.
