In case you haven't heard, Sony recently announced that it will stop producing physical game discs come 2028—a move PC Gamer's Wes Fenlon argued continues a trend of consoles turning into little more than worse PCs. But Daniel Ahmad, a videogame market analyst and director of research and insights at Niko Partners, argued in a post on X that we've all done this song and dance before (thanks, Gamesradar)."[It's] like...

Disk Cleanup(Image credit: Future)Christoffer Bodegård got into PC gaming via a DOS machine inherited from his father. "The Swedish state had a thing where basically everybody got a computer, especially state employees," says Bodegård. The first game he played on it was Disney's The Jungle book, which he recalls as being "pretty hard".
