Reader's Feature admires fans for using social media to protest against the PS5's no disc policy.

Sony's vision of an all-digital future seems to have hit a few road bumps. Their social media accounts are overflowing with criticism from fans, and one reader couldn't help but admire the unwavering dedication of these passionate gamers. Like many others, the reader has been a loyal PlayStation owner since their first console, the PS1.

It's not because of any blind loyalty, but simply because Sony has consistently delivered quality hardware and games. They've always been a popular choice, even during tough times like the PlayStation 3 era. And when the PlayStation 4 came out, it seemed like they were at the top of their game.

But things took a turn for the worse when the PlayStation 5 was released. Within a year, it became clear that the lack of games and focus on live services was a disaster. Just when it seemed like it couldn't get any worse, Sony announced their all-digital future.

The whole situation is frustrating because if they had just waited a bit longer, they could have launched a digital-only console without much complaint. Of course, there would still be some backlash, but not to the extent that they're facing now. It's clear that this decision was influenced by Rockstar and their digital-only release of GTA 6.

But it doesn't mean that Sony had to completely give up on physical discs. Yet, they did and even repurposed their factories for other products. And it's unlikely that they will change their minds.

There are many reasons why this is a bad move, but the most obvious ones are that consumers will own nothing, Sony will have a monopoly, and prices will inevitably go up. And let's not forget the way Sony has treated their fans throughout this whole ordeal. The reader shares some examples of how fans have been protesting on social media, particularly on Sony's YouTube channel, Instagram, and PlayStation Blog.

No matter what the post is about, the comments are filled with insults and jokes aimed at Sony. It's not just a few people either, but a large number of fans who are clearly not letting go of what Sony has done. The reader applauds these fans for their perseverance and also acknowledges that Sony has brought this upon themselves.

They have effectively made their social media presence useless by ignoring their fans and refusing to address the issue. And while the boycott may not have worked, the trolling on social media is still a powerful way for fans to make their point and have some fun in the process. It's clear that Sony will not be changing their plans, but the fans won't back down either.

They are making their voices heard and making it known that there are consequences for Sony's actions. As the reader says, "well done Sony, for shooting yourself in the foot and making sure your social media is going to be useless forever."
