Earlier today, PlayStation dropped a bombshell by announcing they will no longer produce physical games starting in 2028. That announcement was so big that you probably didn’t notice them make a second, smaller one an hour later. After nearly twenty years, they’re finally shutting down the PS3 and PS Vita stores.
