Eh, I doubt many people are burning their own Blu-ray discs - this does not apply to discs you buy that already have films on, those are manufactured differently, and are still being made.

But even if you do archive your personal data onto Blu-ray discs, there are still other manufacturers besides Sony.

This really isn't a big deal.

This really isn’t a big deal.

Sure. One tiny bit at a time...

Really though, who burns Blu rays. Yes I'm sure there's a handful of people out there doing it but I don't know anyone who's still burning discs in 2024. Storage space is large and cheap now and way less hassle than discs. Companies as big as Sony can't keep producing products for a tiny market it just doesn't make sense.

Yup. I use a NAS to not have to deal with disks. I'd rather buy a couple more drives than have to store even more stuff at home.

Who still burns discs (outside of retro gamers) in 2024, let alone Blu-Rays? They aren’t killing the whole format.
