The PlayStation State of Play showcase that happened today, September 3, 2026, was taken over by comments about Destiny 3 and “No Disc No Buy” after Sony‘s recent decisions. Sony has been facing incredible backlash over its decision to pivot from physical discs and releases to a digital-only future, while doubling down on it with comments about digital game ownership. Not only that, but the company has been constantly criticized for its decision to end development on Destiny 2 and not greenlight a sequel to the massively popular Bungie looter-shooter.
Players Boycotting Sony Over Destiny 3, Digital Games
The September 3 State of Play presentation’s chat was taken over by comments like “We Want Destiny 3,” “D3!,” and “No Disc No Buy” in response to the company’s statements and actions. Sony has been boycotted over digital-only PlayStation games for a while now, as the company announced that starting January 2028, it will stop producing physical discs. Likewise, Destiny 2 fans are unhappy with how the company shut down the game, which is still being played daily by over 25,000 users on Steam alone, and they want Sony to greenlight Destiny 3 for Bungie to work on. These comments combined made up well over 90% of the chat in today’s showcase, showing that fans are not letting either controversy go, despite Sony’s alleged belief that both issues would blow over.
