Sony's plan to drop discs by 2028 has stirred a lot of heat, but the sharper problem is PSN's iron-clad regional lock. Move abroad and you don't just lose convenience — you can lose a decade of purchases because Sony won't let you change an account's region; the only option is to create a new account, leaving old libraries behind (e.g., games, DLC, subscriptions).
Other platforms have ways to migrate or transfer libraries; Sony's stance feels stubborn and, to many, unfair. In a future where everything is delivered digitally, a region mismatch isn't just annoying — it can effectively strand your collection, making the end of physical media a real risk for owners who relocate or who need access continuity.
