PlayStation Reportedly Polling Game Developers After Decision to Kill Discs Sparks Backlash
PlayStation is reportedly sending a lengthy survey to game developers with a question about how they sell physical games after their decision to stop producing physical game discs prompted intense backlash.
PlayStation is reportedly reaching out to game developers to gather their opinions on the decision to eliminate physical game discs, following intense criticism. The prolonged survey, described as one of Sony's largest ever, inquired about the developers' concerns regarding the removal of physical discs. The claim was sourced from Tom, a content creator and showrunner who stated that the survey was far larger than any previous one sent by Sony.
The survey question essentially sought feedback on the potential impact of discontinuing physical game sales, indicating Sony's awareness of the backlash and possible need for a course correction. This move comes after reports from gamescom highlighted developers' strong dissatisfaction with Sony's decision. Despite the controversy, PlayStation executives have reaffirmed their commitment to the all-digital future, emphasizing that they are still considering the best way to engage gamers in the new digital ecosystem.
