The recent Sony decision to do away with physical discs...

... for some reason feels like a watershed moment

I don't know why.

These business decisions have been happening consecutively year by year for more than a decade now.

And arguably month by month and maybe week by week now.

This isn't the first time physical and analog media and technology has taken a blow.

This won't be the last.

It could be that this feels like a "watershed moment" for me only.

But idk

Regardless, I feel like I need to make a decision but don't know how or where to start.

Physical disks were one of the reasons why Playstation 2 was the most popular console ever. This decision is betrayal.

Right?!

My mind really goes back to that.

But I don't even think people remember now. Not everyone who lived then.

Maybe not even many of the heads at Sony now...
