Reminds me of how they archived data in blade runner with librarys full of little crystals as optical storage.

With Sony soon to stop making blue ray it makes me fearful in what to use for a long term archive.

They're still doing B2B sales after, so unless they're only making those deals under stringent contract, maybe some company will pick up the market and retail them.

Curious if they're stopping it because writing your own blu rays is relatively rare, or if they're hoping to cripple the bootleg movie industry from using them. Given this is Sony, I'm partial to think the latter may be the case.
