Sony won the 2026 Shonky Awards and was inducted into the Australian Consumer Rights Protection Association's Choice Hall of Honor.
The company has been criticized for its policy of distributing content digitally and restricting consumer rights.
Among the main complaints:
* The decision to stop releasing games on physical discs from 2028.
* Planned closure of PS3 and PS Vita digital stores.
* Removing more than 500 movies from users' digital libraries without compensation.
* Selling digital games and movies as if they were being bought, even though users actually only get a license to access.
Choice stressed that when an account is blocked or services are terminated, users run the risk of losing access to the entire library purchased.
You pay for the opportunity to play, but you don't own anything, which is how the organization made its main complaint to Sony. #game
