Game Publishers Push to Cut Discs for Decades
Former Infinity Ward employee Robert Bowling, a former creative strategist for the Call of Duty franchise, shared that game publishers have attempted to stop physical disc production and go fully digital for almost two decades. He explained that the movement was aimed at maximizing profits and fighting back against the resale market, which could be avoided by stopping disc printing and sharing revenue with retailers like GameStop. The move has faced backlash, with over 387,000 people signing a 'Don't Kill the Disc' petition against Sony's decision to discontinue discs as of 2028.
