Rockstar reportedly told Sony to remove GTA VI's branding from the PlayStation App after the disc controversy got too hot
Sony killed physical discs for all PlayStation games starting January 2028.
The backlash was instant.
Politicians calling for regulation. KFC and Domino's publicly roasting them. The internet turned on Sony overnight.
A week ago Sony had GTA VI everywhere.
App icon changed. PS5 dashboard taken over. Store completely redesigned. No PlayStation game has ever gotten that treatment.
Now all of it is quietly gone.
When Rockstar doesn't want to be associated with your decisions you know it's bad.
It has now been over 4 days since Playstation made the post:
- It has over 128m views, more than they have active users monthly on Playstation Network
- They tried to remove community note but it was replaced with another
- They didn't expect this level of pushback internally
- They seems to wait Microsoft to announce the XBOX layoffs so the focus will be that over them
No matter what, we can't forget this!!! KEEP FIGHTING!!
It's 2029
You just bought a PS6
It cost 1200 dollars
All games are digital
They each cost 80 dollars
You have 4 in your library
Yesterday it was 5 but Sony removed one
They offered no refund, its just gone
You'd strangle yourself with the controller cord but its wireless
De nada sirve indignarse (con justa razón) si todos, sin pensar, fueron a pre ordenar el digital-copy de GTA VI.
Ya siento que el delay fue justo para justificarse.

@PlayStation Then stop selling digital games for the same price as physical ones too. You're removing the printing, box, and shipping prices from the equation completely so I shouldn't be paying $70 for digital games anymore.
