Nigeria has recently announced that it will stop producing physical discs of new games from January 2028, which means that the Sony PS platform will fully shift to the digital media era in the future. This is bad news for many players who like to collect game discs, but they did not expect that this matter would attract a lot of attention on social media, including ProtonMail, Domino's Pizza, KFC, etc., all posted articles to ridicule (or it was purely for marketing purposes), but they did not expect that the real heavyweight guest was GitHub.

GitHub can burn your repository to a CD and send it to you:

This is not an April Fool's joke. GitHub recently announced that it will launch 1,000 limited edition CD-ROM discs. Developers can submit the public warehouse address they want to burn (the warehouse belongs to the developer and must be public) and the real physical address. After obtaining authorization, GitHub will burn the warehouse submitted by the developer to CD-ROM. on the CD, and then send the burned CD to the developer, so that the developer can keep the CD and give it to friends or children. GitHub says: Your code physically belongs to you until you throw it away.

Limited to 1000 copies only:

Although this is not a joke, GitHub is obviously mocking Sony for discontinuing physical game discs, so this time CD-ROM code burning is limited to 1,000 copies. Developers may have a chance to get burned after submitting an application. The supply situation in different countries or regions varies, and the delivery scope may also vary depending on the country or region, so GitHub cannot guarantee that all submitted and successfully passed applications will eventually allow developers to receive the CD.

Of course, after developers get the CD, they also need to prepare a reading device, that is, a CD-ROM drive. Without a CD-ROM drive, the data in the CD cannot be extracted. However, considering that this is a commemorative event, developers can also package the received physical CD for collection. After all, there is no need to purchase a CD-ROM drive to read the data.
