Description
In today's Daily Fix: Ken Kutaragi, the "Father of PlayStation," is backing Sony in their move to kill physical game discs. Sony made the announcement earlier this year, but won't go into effect for another few years. Kutaragi said he understands gamers' feelings about the issue, but that it wasn't "economically reasonable" to keep producing physical media anymore, at least not for PlayStation. He chalked it up to gamers' "mentality" around video game ownership. In related news, Congressman Ritchie Torres is introducing a bill that will establish regulations around digital ownership. The congressman said customers do have the right to own, play, and transfer the games they buy. And finally, production on The Batman Part 2 is set to restart now that WB has revealed Steven Soderbergh as a replacement director. Original director Matt Reeves had to step down due to a personal matter, but will return to finish post-production on the movie.
