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.
They want you to believe your voice doesn't matter.
Yet in just the last few days:
-LAPD canceled its Flock contract.
-Meta cancelled Muse Image AI after privacy outrage.
-One of the largest planned U.S. data centers was killed (PW Digital Gateway) by local opposition.
The surveillance state isn't inevitable.
It advances when people are apathetic.
It retreats when people fight back.
Public pressure works. Keep pushing.
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.

#PhysicalNeverDies
It's insane how PlayStation killed its rewards program last year, then turned around this year and announced plans to phase out physical game releases.
They want to force players into a digital future, while stripping away every reason to support it.
One anti-consumer decision after another. This company deserves ALL the hate they get.
I promise I'll try not to just be posting Steam numbers every day but...really, thank you so much, gamers.
Obviously, we had high expectations for 1.0 internally, but this is staggering. We really hope you are enjoying your time in Palworld again!
THANK YOU!!🥹
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
The next time someone tells you that digital is the future, share this list of notable delisted games. All these games are gone. The only way to play them is to get a physical copy. Imagine the future PS6, games being delisted after 2-3 years and gone! https://t.co/JSzQo7D4Jo
14 layers of management 💀
As a design lead at Bungie on Halo Reach, I literally had ONE layer to get ideas approved. The guys below me, had TWO layers.
Granted we would need to get buyoff from multiple departments to determine feasibility, but beyond that, it was basically "Marcus (creative director), can we do this?" If he said "No", I would reformulate my argument, maybe build a prototype, and ask him again in a few days 😆
(Marcus usually said 'yes', cuz he was cool)
PSA | Time to vote for 'Allow disc-based games with Project Helix; let's push it past 10K.
Are you doing your part?

Remember Scott Pilgrim?
It vanished from digital storefronts for 6 YEARS because of licensing. You literally couldn’t buy it anymore. It only came back because fans refused to let it die and Ubisoft finally rereleased it.
That’s what people don’t understand about an all digital future. Games don’t have to flop to disappear. A contract expires, a license changes, and poof…it’s gone.
Physical copies are the only thing that survives corporate decisions. That’s why this fight matters.
NO DISC, NO BUY.
Digital games should come with real consumer protection. If a store can remove access, players deserve a full refund. No excuses.
Digital ownership needs real rights.
