Sony PS5 Ad Rekindles Backlash Over 2028 Disc Manufacturing Halt

Summary
Sony’s latest PS5 commercial drew a fresh wave of criticism, with YouTube commenters turning the slogan “It Happens on PS5” into attacks on the company’s disc decision.
The backlash stems from Sony’s announcement more than a month ago that it will stop manufacturing discs for PlayStation platforms starting in January 2028.
Sony’s social accounts are still being flooded with complaints across unrelated posts, showing anger over the move has eased only slightly rather than disappearing.
The company has not disabled comments and has indicated it does not plan to reverse course, suggesting the public dispute could continue into upcoming PlayStation events.
