PlayStation Receives Shonky Award for Ending Physical Game Discs

PlayStation received the Shonky Award from Choice for its decision to end physical disc production.

The award was announced yesterday.

The honor recognizes the planned phase-out of discs by January 2028 and the end-user license agreement that classifies digital purchases as licenses rather than sales.

This licensing model could allow Sony to revoke access to games, prompting concerns about permanent ownership among gamers.
