@BlueLilyGames Still never got an answer to my question
So I'm hoping I didn't just spend £181 for nothing

[Ancestral_Spirit @Ancy_Spirit]

@ltdraregames The only one of your releases I missed
I swear you post these things just to hurt me 😫

[Ancestral_Spirit @Ancy_Spirit]

So I'm about to take the plunge and order the eclipse edition with the art book for around £181

However, it says this tier comes with a physical ost. Yet, when I look at the eclipse edition there is no mention of a physical ost being in there but the tier says that there is one.

The tier is called 'Physical art book + Eclipse edition'

Will I actually be getting a physical soundtrack CD in this tier or not?
Thank you xxx ❤️

Seen several quote #PlayStation's 78% digital full game sales, thus omitting important context.

That figure includes countless digital only releases, from back catalogue to indie games etc. Even Capcom revealed 84% of its sales were "older catalog titles", many of which are only available digitally.

So using such data is somewhat misleading.

To gauge REAL physical demand you need to look at splits of games that released both physical AND digital only. Thanks to the Insomniac leaks, we have such data on PS first party games.

Playstation Physical / Digital splits

Sackboy - 77% / 23%
R&C Rift Apart - 76% / 24%
Ghost of Tsushima DC - 71% / 29%
Demon's Souls - 70% / 30%
Miles Morales - 66% / 34%
Spider-Man - 66% / 34%
Returnal - 61% / 39%
The Last of Us 2 - 61% / 39%
Ghost of Tsushima - 51% / 49%
MLB The Show 21 - 39% / 61%

So per Sony's own internal data, 31/33 first party games from their chart sold more PHYSICAL than they did digital.

Uncharted 4 actually has an insane 83% physical split.

Granted it only covers through to a few months into 2022, but we can see from other more recent data, things haven't drastically changed. For example GSD data shows ~60% of Astro Bot sales across Europe were physical.

So what skews revenue and data more digital, beyond digital only releases and platforms? The answer is games with LIVE SERVICE components, especially multiplatform ones.

As you can see from Sony's internal data, MLB has the highest digital split, and it's a live service game.

Generally the highly popular live service or annualised games such as Call of Duty, NBA 2K, FIFA etc, have higher digital splits, as gamers are constantly launching them (often daily) and don't want to be constantly switching discs, thus skewing digital/physical splits.

It's very different to single player games which are shorter and have different play and consumer trends. So again, context matters.

Then there's a MASSIVE audience of gamers that aren't even accounted for in any of this data; the countless consumers that buy and sell used physical games, because they simply can't afford as many new games, but still buy/own consoles, accessories, games, services etc. Everything from poor parents, kids etc.

Ultimately, the data rejects the notion physical is dead or meaningless, even if digital accounts for the overall lionshare of revenue/sales, especially when you look at things with the proper context and/or focus on single player tentpole games, which is PlayStation's bread and butter.

Keep in mind platforms make a 15% licensing fee from third parties on physical games, while they get a 30% cut on digital.

Likewise first party lose a 30% cut to retailers on physical, while they keep all of the revenue on digital.

As I said before, this move to kill physical is more about PlayStation trying to make far more profit and squeeze away the last remnants of consumer ownership, control, flexibility and resale, and could have greater negative market ramifications.

Refuting dumb arguments against physical games🚀

🗣️“85% of players buy digital”

✅15% or even 5% in this industry is still millions of people bringing in hundreds of millions of not billions o revenue

🗣️“Netflix and Spotify ended movie and music Blu-Rays and CDs”

✅Movies are still being sold on Blu-Ray and 4K UHD Blu-Rays, and music is still released on CDs, vinyl records and even collectible cassette tapes that actually work, despite being far smaller and less demanding than video games which can go over 100GB

🗣️“I haven’t bought a physical game for 10 years! It’s obsolete”

✅Your experience with games does not automatically reflect everyone else’s. If you don’t care, don’t get in the way

🗣️“It’s expensive to make games on disc”

✅Games won’t be cheaper when man all digital. You will pay the same price for a glorified rental that can be taken any time due to licensing agreements or account loss/suspension

🗣️“You’re too broke, you want to buy second hand and resell games”

✅Being a bootlicker to corporations that don’t know you exist, does not make you any less broke than those you accuse and posture in front of behind a keyboard

Physical games should always be an option. Video games are far more than just a file to download or “access” to gain. They hold sentimental value to players and collectors.

Raise your voices, players, game makers, gaming and memorabilia stores. Let us overturn this predatory decision!

Video games are an art form, not just a business and the value players hold for them should be honored and not reduced to a code to redeem and a download to revoke😎

You will never purchase and own a PlayStation game ever again.

They will only ever be long-term rentals, and they decide when you're done with it.

[Ancestral_Spirit @Ancy_Spirit]

@remulto4 @limitedlegacy_ It might yet, pretty sure Sony are talking about all disc manufacturing for Playstation discs coming to a halt entirely.

Companies that do limited prints of games are essentially gonna get shafted 😞

Unless I'm mistaken somehow? @limitedlegacy_

[Ancestral_Spirit @Ancy_Spirit]

Absolute insanity!
Do you have ANY notion of how much my bf and I spend on you every year, only for you to treat players like this?!

Absolutely done with you and your goddamn consoles.
The PS6 can sink and drown and all of your games with it.
I have enough physical games to keep me playing for the foreseeable future, without your all digital licenses bullshit.

Good luck with this abhorrent and anti-consumer idea, you're going to need it.
If you thought business was bad before, you ain't seen nothing yet!

Wouldn't the simple answer be for her to have the baby and he gets full custody of both kids?

Seriously, if she hates him that much and feels that her own kids are holding her back, take them away from her. She quite clearly doesn't care.

Let her fuck off to whichever man she wants next, only for him to realise what a selfish and shitty person she is and be done with her.

[Ancestral_Spirit @Ancy_Spirit]

@benonwine Don't forget the tax when you pass away as well.

My dad and I worked out after my grandmother had passed, that in total her money had been taxed approximately 6 times or more before it could be passed to anyone else.

Inheritance tax is an absolutely disgusting joke 😞

[Ancestral_Spirit @Ancy_Spirit]

@thehonestletter How are the people on Universal Credit not paying ANY council tax.

I know people on Universal Credit due to disabilities and they still have to pay council tax, discounted, but still they have to pay.
Surely there's something else going on if those other people are paying none?

[Ancestral_Spirit @Ancy_Spirit]

@SwordsSlippers She's perfect at all sizes ❤️

Seriously, so glad you're bringing sexy back!
