Comment on It would have been really funny if a video game ejected the disk if you lost too many times

Huh? Metal Gear main franchise has been on every PS ever, and only PS1 is fully mechanical.

And the PS2 slim.
Based on my limited understanding, Sony didn’t make the drive ejection controls available to game developers. Maybe clever hackers could do it nowadays since the PS2 in particular has had its system architecture analyzed down to the molecular level. It’s probably not a good idea to tie the progress if your program execution to it, though, because of the above. Hardware revisions could change at any time.
