French Politician Fights for Physical Games as PlayStation Ditches Discs in 2028

France's hard-left presidential hopeful, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, is leading a charge to 'retake control' of video games, launching a petition to save physical game copies after Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) announced it will cease physical disc production for new PlayStation games starting January 2028. This move, which follows Rockstar's decision to make Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6) digital-only, signals a significant industry shift away from physical media and has ignited a fiery debate over consumer rights and cultural heritage. Mélenchon, a candidate for the 2027 French presidential election, argues this digital-only future denies 'buyers' rights' and risks confiscating a vital part of our 'cultural heritage.'
