Can't wait to hear what John 'Three-Chins' Linneman, 'Teeth' Leadbetter and the rest of the clowns at DF make of this. There will be much whining and crying and I will feed on it.

Sony is becoming EXTREMELY anti-consumer because
1. They fucked up their entire generation by focusing on GAAS and are now desperate for profits so will do anything they can, even if it means screwing over the entire industry
and
2. They feel as though they have no consequences for their actions now that Xbox is all but dead and they are the only high end console in town. This is why competition is Very Important.

The Steam Machine is the PlayStations main competitor now.
As both are now positioned to become all digital powerhouses.

I mean if they keep doing stupid bullshit, what is the expectation for the response?
People aren't a hivemind here though, plenty of people along the spectrum of don't care all the way to Sony bootlicker too.
None of these companies were ever your friend, but they're better when they have less control, and taking away physical adds no value to me the consumer...you just leave me with PSN, a worse digital storefront than Steam or GoG.

Just like the Steam Deck is the Switches competition.

If Valve could produce more than 80 Steam Decks at a time, then yes.
With the Steam Machine, Valve is looking to make this a mass market product, over taking Sony and Nintendo within the next 3-5 years.

The PS brand has been living off the 2013 Xbox online DRM debacle since then.
Funny thing is MS reversed it so it never even happened. Yet gamer sentiment still lingers to this day as random people will still bring it up once in a while.
Well look at that, Sony is the same boat. But they stretched out the good PR they got above. But now it's time to dip their toes into heavy anti-consumer tactics since they believe Xbox is done. And Nintendo is their own universe. So now is the right time to strike thinking it's still a slam dunk over Xbox. So gamers will just give in as a gimme.
This time Sony did a triple crown of anti-consumer digital schemes in the same week...... deleted movies off people's accounts, shut down PS3/Vita stores, and no more game discs in 2028.
I want to see how ballsy gamers are who hated Xbox 2013 to do the same with PS. Espeecially if they plan to go through with it. At least MS reversed it by launch. So even if Sony reverses it and adds discs and disc drives again, the intent was still there. And publicly stated too 18 months away from it happening.

Yes.
If you're not already doing it, you should.
The only thing that will hurt them is their investors not being happy or the stocks tanking.
Social media is a powerful tool that has done various clapbacks and backlashes to make companies 180 their anti-consumer shit decisions. The recent one in the games industry being MS with the Xbone (even if that's 13 years ago, the point still stands) and it's always online drm and the mandatory kinect requirement, both of which they dropped after the industry took a collective shit on them.
Sony should fail the next generation so hard that they should fucking think 10 times before even announcing any press release going forward.
In the end it only helps you as a consumer.
Keep them in check and they will run back to you begging for that PlayStation Console revenue.

They're hiding like rats, just like Rockstar—waiting like f@ggots for some news from Xbox or Nintendo so they can slip out of the spotlight.

To hit that abusive, grotesque, and manipulative company with everything we've got.
