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.

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.

You thought blu ray sales would just continue forever?
There’s still the super-DVDs, or whatever they were called.
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
They can DMCA the encryption keys and boom – instead dead format.
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:
