It’s just one company, it’s not all the Blu-ray production stopping. I think the last time I bought any Sony recordable media was CD-Rs for my MP3 CD player in the mid 00s.
What? No. If I write data to a Blu-ray it’s not encrypted. This comment makes little sense. Sony does not control “the encryption keys”, whatever that means.
It is if it’s a commercially bought product like a movie, for instance, and without media being sold on it, the media would be basically dead for most people
I always preferred the rips fork Blu rays though. They had the highest quality video and audio and stuff. This sucks so much =(
EDIT: I just read someone else’s comment that although they developed it they don’t own it outright so that makes me feel a little better that hopefully other people can still make them.
How do SSDs and HDDs compare to optical disks in terms of stability in storage? SSD bits can lose charge over time until a lot of 1s read as 0s, right?
Welp… There goes physical media…
Yep, I’m sure it’ll be gone Verbatim.

Its an old code but it checks out 😅

Sony owns the blu-ray format. I’m worried.
They do not own it, they did co-develop it. They’ve never owned it outright.

There’s still the super-DVDs, or whatever they were called.
mega-discs
Why are you worried about Sony owning the blu-ray format?
If they’re decreasing their production, it could mean that physical media is ending. If so, that fucking sucks because you can’t own anything anymore

You really don’t understand how Blu-ray works, do you?
Regarding Blu-ray as a medium for movies: Sony isn’t able do that kind of damage.
Blu-ray Association would go bananas:

You thought blu ray sales would just continue forever?
