Games not being playable on a PS5 with a disc drive is a bit much. They have internal storage the same as all other PS5s. In addition, discs are essentially just physical licenses these days and have been since the late days of the PS4. Rarely is the game that’s on the actual disc playable. More often than not you need to install an update to make it playable, meaning even if you have the disc you are still relying on Sony to ensure the game can be played.

I don’t think this is excusable or acceptable, but I do think people are blowing it out of proportion. PC gaming has been digital only for well over a decade. This is no different.
