Your right, I think most are taking the news hard as discs were seen as the final hold out of I brought something and I own it.

We've changed from media to media its just that at this time, we are at the tipping point, and as of tomorrow (2028) we will have zero options to buy a game and own it (on consoles, yes GOG is a thing)

I was only saying the other day, after having all playstations since a PSOne, that I reckon the wind I blowing against the consumer and that the PS5 (disc version) would be my last playstation console. Unfortunately it turns out I was right, it's a sad day for gamers. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

As I mentioned above, whilst not standard, yes there were titles that could be played without updates.

And there were ps5 discs that did this. I played Astrobot for a month with no downloads or updates.!

I agree it wasn't the norm, but it was possible.

This aligns with one of my favorite sayings about dogs.

Everyone thinks they have the best dog and the funny thing is, none of them are wrong.
