Download the offline installer of any of your games on GOG, save it to a disc and it's yours forever.
You don't need a storefront's permission to play what you bought.
PlayStation abandonando el formato físico ha hecho algo nunca antes visto. Unir a todas las personas del gaming durante 11 días y contando🔥
👉Movimiento No Disk, No Buy
👉Europa, Brasil y otros gobiernos abordan el tema
👉Preocupación de portales de noticias
👉Twitter no descansa: cada tweet nuevo de Sony es masacrado.
👉Están creciendo las imágenes de cancelación en Playstation+
👉Su propio estudio Santa Monica enfatiza que su siguiente juego contará con disco. Un guiño a las protestas.
👉Ex directivo (Shawn Layden) dice que jamás lo hubiera permitido
👉En reddit los mods están día a día borrando post de usuarios pidiendo que se retracten.
👉Y lo más importante: el marketing de PS6 ya comenzó… y lo está haciendo la propia gente que expande el mensaje: sin disco, no hay compra.
Le jeu vidéo pourrait devenir le premier média où on ne nous laisse plus le choix du tout et c’est catastrophique. C’est une folie.
Imaginez, la tristesse :
on peut encore aller acheter un livre dans les magasins, des blu-ray, des CD de musique, le Vinyle reviens assez fort, mais le jeu vidéo lui, est en train de disparaître dans sa forme physique dans le plus grand des calmes pour nous obliger à passer en tout numérique 👎
Ils veulent tout contrôler, déjà que c’est une industrie qui nous abreuve de DLC, achats en plus in-game, battlepass, extensions, avec notre jeu de base depuis quelques années. La cupidité n’a plus de limite, nous sommes des portefeuilles sur pattes.
Là, en plus, ce serait carrément nous priver de notre liberté d’achat avec la décision de Sony. Un véritable monopole inconcevable, ou le joueur passe au second plan encore une fois.
Pourquoi le jeu vidéo serait le seul des médias qui ne peut subsister dans une autre forme que le tout numérique ? Pourquoi devons-nous nous résigner à devoir se plier au monopole d’un seul store sur une machine ?
Ne laissons pas faire cela, battons nous encore, seule la voix des joueurs compte. Peut importe les Call Of, les machins, si la future PS6 se vend mal, alors ils comprendront,
Gardons le choix, toujours.

Let me say it again!
Don't carry water for SONY. 🥤
The more you defend all-digital, the dumber you look. They cut the middle man NOT to save extra $2.50 on disk printing.
They want control and sell $100 digital licence you WON'T own and will revoke it any time they want!
🚨 Only 4% of physical games cannot be played straight off the disk.
Don’t let people tell you otherwise!
GameRant tested hundreds of PS5 games and the vast majority worked in offline mode! 66% gave you an OPTIONAL download with bug fixes, but would still work.
💿Buy physical.
700 PS5 games were tested and 93% of them played fully without any internet connection or download
Don’t let them make you think otherwise
Physical ownership IS ownership
Once again fuck you @PlayStation
Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced PS5
Does it play offline? No
Does it require a download? Yes
44.48GB on disc. Works up until the company logos, then requires an online connection to access the main menu. The type of release that undermines physical media over time.
Listen up, this is important.
We lost the fight against microtransactions.
We lost the fight against day one patches.
We lost so much of what games used to be.
But we CANNOT lose this fight.
Drop PlayStation IMMEDIATELY. Don’t support this terrible decision.
Scorched Earth.
Dear @asha_shar@XBOX
On behalf of VGP, we would like to share our perspective as a retailer that has proudly supported the gaming industry and the Xbox brand for many years.
When Microsoft originally introduced the vision for the Xbox One with a strong emphasis on digital ownership, the response from consumers was immediate. Sony took advantage of that moment by positioning the PlayStation 4 as the console that embraced physical game ownership, and history shows how influential that decision became.
Today, the market is shifting once again. Sony appears to be moving further toward a digital-first future, creating an opportunity for Microsoft to differentiate itself by becoming the industry's strongest advocate for physical media.
We encourage Microsoft to revisit Project Helix and make physical games a core part of its strategy. There remains a passionate and dedicated audience that values collecting, preserving, lending, trading, and truly owning the games they purchase. As a retailer, we see that demand every day.
The saying "what goes around comes around" feels especially relevant. Years ago, Sony benefited by championing physical ownership while Microsoft moved toward digital. Today, Microsoft has an opportunity to reverse that narrative and become the company that stands behind consumer choice.
Many gamers still look back on the Xbox 360 era as the golden age of Xbox. The platform was synonymous with innovation, great games, and strong relationships with both players and retail partners. We believe Microsoft can recapture much of that goodwill by reaffirming its commitment to physical gaming and by bringing Project Helix to market.
As one of Microsoft's retail partners, we believe a renewed investment in physical media would benefit consumers, retailers, publishers, and Xbox itself. We respectfully encourage you and your leadership team to consider this opportunity and help usher Xbox back to the position of industry leadership that so many fans remember.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to seeing Xbox continue to innovate while supporting the millions of players who still value physical game ownership.
Sincerely
VGP
