Booted up my PS5 today and noticed the Vice City takeover on the dashboard, the app icon, and the redesigned store are all gone. This happened right around July 3rd — literally days after Sony announced it's killing physical discs starting 2028.

There's a theory going around that Rockstar asked Sony to pull the branding so GTA 6 doesn't get dragged into the backlash. No official confirmation from either company, but the timing is... something.

Anyone else notice this on their console?

We’ve been seeing a lot of debate lately about games getting delisted and becoming unplayable for new buyers.

​On one hand, many say it's just 'how the industry works now' and that convenience wins. On the other hand, a lot of us are frustrated that we don't truly 'own' the games we pay for.

​I’ve been reading through some heated discussions, and it seems like we’re stuck between two extremes: either we accept the digital future, or we get angry about it. But is there a middle ground? Can we demand better ownership rights or better preservation standards without just bashing the platforms?

​What’s your take? Is there a way for us to have both the convenience of digital stores AND the security of actually owning our games?
