Ken Kutaragi, who led development of the original PlayStation, PS2 and PS3, told VGC at a conference in Middlesbrough that he understands fan anger but doesn't see keeping physical discs as economically viable. He argued that attachment to discs is largely a 'mentality issue,' comparing modern consoles to smartphones where users trust their content persists online without physical media.
