Ken Kutaragi Defends Sony’s Move Away from Physical Game Discs

The executive characterized the act of owning a physical disc as little more than a metaphor for ownership in an era defined by cloud infrastructure and high-speed delivery. By framing the transition as an inevitable evolution rather than a loss of consumer rights, he signaled his support for Sony’s current trajectory. His perspective highlights a widening divide between industry veterans who view games as services and a player base still tethered to the tangible value of a boxed library.
