Sony Falls Silent on Social Media After 24 Hours of Backlash Over 2028 Disc Exit

Summary
More than 24 hours after announcing it will stop manufacturing physical games in 2028, Sony has left its X, Facebook, Bluesky and Instagram accounts unchanged.
The silence followed a wave of criticism over the disc decision, with Instagram and YouTube comments dominated by demands that Sony reverse course.
YouTube has shown only a few new trailers apparently queued by third-party publishers, while routine PlayStation posts such as the PS Plus Essential update were kept off Sony’s main social channels.
Sony used a similar social-media pause for over 72 hours after closing Bluepoint earlier this year, but the latest backlash appears broader and potentially longer-lasting.
