Did Sony Just Kill Game Ownership? + More Retro News!
Did Sony just give retro gaming a massive boost? ?
This week on Bit By Bit, we’re talking about Sony’s plan to end physical disc production for new PlayStation games starting in 2028 and why that could make retro gaming, physical media, and old-school collecting even more important.
We also dig into Evercade’s new Visco Arcade collections, the increasingly strange 3DO revival drama, a hidden Banjo-Kazooie musical surprise, a wild E-Ink Game Boy project, Donkey Kong 64 getting a native PC port, and the debate over AI-generated FPGA cores.
If you love retro games, physical media, game preservation, weird hardware, and the occasional industry faceplant, this one’s packed.
