## Key points

- PS5 survey repurposed by disc supporters to oppose 2028 manufacturing end
- Survey doesn't mention discs despite headline's implication
- Feedback's influence on Sony's plans remains highly uncertain

## Summary

A Sony PS5 user survey has become an unexpected vehicle for fans to express opposition to the company's planned end to disc manufacturing in 2028. Although the survey does not specifically ask about physical media, supporters of disc games are using the open feedback sections to voice their concerns. The survey follows a failed US fan blackout that reportedly had no measurable impact on PS5 engagement, prompting physical-media advocates to seek an alternative means of communicating with Sony's senior management.

The questionnaire asks players to rate various PS5 aspects including its user interface, software library and overall experience, with text boxes provided for detailed feedback. Comments from users reveal mixed expectations about whether Sony will actually consider or act upon the responses, with several questioning whether company management reads detailed submissions. The article notes that the headline may overstate the survey's connection to physical media, as the questionnaire does not specifically target disc owners or mention discs at all—fans have simply repurposed a general feedback form to voice their concerns about a controversial corporate decision.
