•The audience response centers on a strong backlash against digital-only ownership, arguing that digital purchases are licenses that can be revoked and could erase libraries, threaten preservation, offline play, and sharing.
•Sentiment is angry and distrustful toward Sony, framing the move as anti-consumer and a breach of fan trust, with calls to boycott, petition, and pivot to PC/Steam/GOG, while some fear a future dominated by streaming or subscription models.
•Notable discussion points include the impact on the used-game market, long-term preservation, protection for physical media and retail jobs, and the specter of piracy as a rational response or nostalgia for physical ownership.
•A minority note competitive dynamics, but the prevailing view is that this is anti-consumer, and there is skepticism about the effectiveness of collective action, framed as part of broader industry trends toward limiting ownership.
