REPORT: Jason Schreier on PlayStation’s decision to end physical game media🚀
✅Sony considers their digital player base is large enough to do without those who continue wanting physical discs
✅They won’t change their retail distribution
✅Stores sell empty boxes with only download code
✅They’re convinced that over time, players will accept a 100% digital gaming future
✅They don’t think it’s necessary to maintain contact with fans
✅They trust the strength of their brand and the loyalty of their community, and imagine they will continue to support their digital games
Regarding profitability:
✅When Sony sells a first party physical game to a retailer, the retailer gets around ~30% of the sale price
✅Digital helps them keep 100% of it
✅They expect to significantly increase their profit margins
This is absolutely disgraceful to read if true. I’m genuinely repulsed by Sony💿
This is the 2nd PHYSICAL product your promoting since your fuck up.
We KNOW you hear us and we're not gonna stop until you reverse your decision.
Go fuck yourself.

The cost of the helipad would fund healthcare for about 17 seconds.
