Sega is the latest publisher to make its views about physical media clear, in the wake of Sony's controversial decision to kill off the manufacture and sale of discs by 2028.

Perhaps predictably, Creative Assembly's Total War: Warhammer 40,000 could be quite the step change for how Total War handles ranged combat. Yesterday, the developers livestreamed a battle between the Imperium and the Orks, while chatting enthusiastically about the nuances of drop pods and flamers and evasion stats. Like a gretchin war reporter – there are Ork journalists, right? Newswaaaagh? Gubbinzfeed? The Wall Street Choppa? – I've been running from foxhole to foxhole, jotting down notes. Th...

Since 1st July, when Sony announced its intent to move away from the production and sale of physical media, we've seen plenty of backlash from both consumers and those working within the video game industry. There's plenty of evidence of this, but the most vocal and visceral has come from comments on pretty much anything Sony has posted online in the days since the announcement.
