Games industry analyst Dr. Serkan Toto says that even if 500,000 PlayStation Plus subscribers canceled their memberships to protest Sony’s decision to stop releasing physical PlayStation games, it wouldn’t be enough to make the company change its plans.
Sony has around 50 million PS Plus subscribers, so losing 500,000 would be only about 1% of its subscriber base. Toto called that “just a drop in the ocean.”
Extra context: Toto is affiliated with Keio University, which has worked with Sony on research and published studies on microlens technology.
Some people online have claimed the university could benefit monetarily by developing the microlenses that will supplant the Austrian disc factory
