The new Marvel’s Wolverine cinematic trailer has been swarmed by PlayStation fans still angry at Sony ditching discs

Eurogamer · 1 month ago

A cinematic trailer for Insomniac Games' Marvel's Wolverine has been overrun with comments criticising Sony's decision to phase out physical game discs, rather than reactions to the game itself. The "Ain't No Hero" trailer, released ahead of the game's 15th September launch, shows Logan battling enemies across the decades while grieving a destroyed photograph, but the top comments on both YouTube and X focus almost entirely on disc-related outrage, with puns referencing the "physical" and "DISCtinct" theme reflecting fans' anger rather than excitement for the trailer.

The backlash follows Sony's announcement that physical disc production will end in January 2028, a move that has stoked concerns over post-release game pricing, consumer rights and long-term game preservation on an increasingly digital-only platform. A top YouTube comment from user ErrantRob had amassed over 10,000 likes within a day, while similar disc-related outrage has also hit recent social posts for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls and PowerWash Simulator. The article notes the irony that Insomniac, unable to influence Sony's corporate decision, is bearing the brunt of fan anger, even though Marvel's Wolverine itself will still receive a physical release.
