New Sony Policy Could Lead To Legal Action Against Vocal PS5 Disc Critics
Polygon.com • • technology
Key Points:
- Sony announced it will end physical PlayStation 5 disc production by July 2026, sparking widespread fan protests across social media and comment sections.
- In response to ongoing criticism, Sony introduced a new harassment policy targeting behaviors such as abusive language, threats, and persistent demands toward employees.
- The policy also prohibits "persistent and repeated demands," "requests unrelated to products or services," and "demands against employees," which appear to address the nature of fan complaints about the disc discontinuation.
- Violators of the policy risk restrictions or suspension of customer service and potential legal actions, including cooperation with law enforcement and criminal proceedings.
- This aggressive approach aims to curb vocal dissent and silence critics opposed to Sony's decision to phase out PS5 discs.
