Ubisoft chief executive Yves Guillemot has argued that the shift away from physical PC games has benefited the platform, and said a possible move by PlayStation away from discs would be unlikely to cause major disruption. His comments matter because they reflect continuing industry debate over ownership, access and the commercial consequences of digital-only game sales.

Guillemot’s view is that PC gaming expanded after physical retail largely disappeared, suggesting that consumers adapted to digital distribution. He also played down the potential impact of PlayStation ending disc-based releases, although the article does not indicate that Sony has confirmed such a plan. The remarks contrast with concerns from some players and preservation advocates about losing resale options and long-term access to purchased games.
