    They do not own it, they did co-develop it.

    There’s still the super-DVDs, or whatever they were called.

    Why are you worried about Sony owning the blu-ray format?

      If they’re decreasing their production, it could mean that physical media is ending. If so, that fucking sucks because you can’t own anything anymore
