Pioneer has reportedly pulled out of the optical drive business, including Blu-ray and DVD recorders, after 30 years of manufacturing such drives. Moving forward, the company will focus on electronics for cars such as navigation systems.

The accuracy of the last paragraph, which stated that "LG remains one of the last manufacturers of Blu-ray recorders", was pretty severely undercut when I scrolled down and saw one of the "Related Articles" waa "LG exits Blu-ray player market," dated 12/12/2024.

Blu Ray player is one thing, and a recorder is an entirely different thing.
