Two Mexican lawmakers, Senator Luis Donaldo Colosio and federal representative Iraís Reyes, have filed a formal complaint against Sony with Mexico's National Antitrust Commission over the company's plan to stop producing physical PlayStation games from 2028. The politicians argue that making Sony's digital store the only purchasing channel in Mexico would let the company unilaterally set prices and conditions, strip consumers of the ability to resell, lend or trade games, and reduce buyers to holders of revocable licences rather than genuine owners. The move follows a similar shift already seen in Europe and with digital films, and reflects broader unease about consumer rights as the games industry moves away from physical media.

The complaint comes after a "Don't Kill the Disc" petition gathered roughly 360,000 signatures last month but failed to change Sony's plans. Sony's chief financial officer, Lin Tao, told investors during an earnings call last week that the decision was driven by the wider trend towards digitalisation of content and that the company sees no negative impact on its business, since much of its content is already sold digitally. The Mexican lawmakers join other international politicians, including French presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon, in publicly opposing Sony's decision, though it remains unclear whether the growing pressure will prompt any change of course.
