Sony surveys players after PlayStation disc scandal

Sony has started surveying players about PlayStation after criticism of plans to stop releasing its own games on discs, which may indicate the company's desire to gauge audience reaction.

A few days ago, it was reported that PlayStation sent a survey to its partners, publishers, and developers, including asking them about abandoning physical distribution.

Now the company has conducted another survey, this time directly among players. Users were invited to share their attitude towards the brand and Sony's latest actions.

Players quickly linked the survey to plans for transitioning to digital distribution. Possible changes for the PS5 are being actively discussed, as many owners still buy physical versions of games.

Sony has not yet confirmed its intention to abandon its plans. However, after surveying partners, addressing players directly seems noteworthy against the backdrop of negative community reaction. Some fans hope that the results will help the company reconsider its decision and retain physical editions in its strategy.
