@MichaelDoesLife ... Is steam the only storefront on PC big bro?

[Dave Quantock @DaveQuantock]

@Fenrirtheicewo1 Come on bro..... $1 Billion in sales.... they are trying to corner the market on the most devoted gamers. These are the guys that refuse to pay $15 for COD skins..... Then after they lock the storefront, they increase the prices of the games and there are no other options.

@LootBoxGamingUS They're about to see it with any new hardware they plan on presenting at $1000 plus a subscription model. Nobody should buy that horrible scheme.

[Dave Quantock @DaveQuantock]

@Miketrub23 PC is an open system that can be used without subscription models to use the internet.

[Dave Quantock @DaveQuantock]

@ABC They can keep their PS6 too.... No longer a pending purchaser.

[Dave Quantock @DaveQuantock]

@ExtremeBlitz__ My PS6 money just went into my 2028 PC build fund.

[Dave Quantock @DaveQuantock]

@_NIXNE That isn't the point dude..... It's the fact gaming consoles want to be PCs with closed systems. It's better just to get a PC with an open system.

[Dave Quantock @DaveQuantock]

@_NIXNE Missing the point dude.... If Playstation wants to be a PC... there are better ways to do PC gaming.... We wanted a gaming console...

Thank you for ruining the video game industry for us, and all the passion that we had🚀

It isn’t the economy
It isn’t BiG b0oBs or shaved hair
It isn’t “entitled gamers”

It is your own greed that will be your own undoing, and you will have zero sympathies from us over it.

Maybe the industry does indeed need new big players, because clearly you have zero respect for this craft or the players who made you🎤

On the same day Sony told a billion gamers to embrace digital forever, it quietly showed them the catch.

Two announcements, one blog, an hour apart.

First: from January 2028, no new PlayStation game will ship on a disc, digital only.

Second, buried below: Sony is closing the online stores for the PlayStation 3 and Vita, so you will no longer be able to buy games there at all.

Read together, they are not two stories. They are the whole argument about what you actually own.

A disc is the last thing in your home a Silicon Valley company cannot reach. A PlayStation game from 1994 still works today, and the law lets you resell it, lend it, keep it forever.

That is ownership. It is protected by something called the first-sale doctrine, and it applies to physical objects. It does not apply to digital purchases. That is not Sony being cruel. That is the quiet legal truth underneath the whole shift.

Sony's own spokesperson said it plainly today. With all digital content, you are not buying the game. You are buying a personal license for non-commercial use. Not the thing. Permission to use the thing, which depends on the company's servers and goodwill. They once pulled a game called Concord two weeks after launch. Buyers got refunds, but the game itself simply vanished.

This was never really about discs versus downloads. It is about moving the largest entertainment medium on Earth from a world where you own an object the law protects, to one where you hold access the law treats as rented.

Convenient, cheaper, and easier for almost everyone. Also revocable in a way a disc never was.

The click of a disc into a console was ownership. The download is permission. Sony just showed you, in a single morning, how differently the two age.

Do you agree with what Sony did??

Sony is currently charging $70 for God of War Ragnarok digitally. It is $32 at Wal-Mart. The game is 4 years old.

People will no longer have options after 2028 and will HAVE to go directly to Sony’s digital storefront and pay whatever PlayStation says.

[Ryan McCaffrey @DMC_Ryan]

It isn't even about PlayStation vs. Xbox at this point. It's about corporations vs. consumers.
