@PlayStation has once again taken down another community note, the fourth one?

This time, we learned the split between physical and digital sales 🤡

What will it be next?

"PS3 launched at $599 in 2006 which is $1000 in 2026 dollars. Quit complaining about PS6 potentially being $1000+!"

Ah, yes. The PS3 that famously did extremely well at launch and nobody had a problem with the price.

[CHUCK INGLISH said it. @Chuckisdope]

Sony really fucked up.

The gaming community is deep.. and they just pissed off some of the most focused humans in the world.

Thats how we should feel about Music and Film.

Fuck a Subscription to anything.

Adobe yo ass is next. You too Avid.

Hideo Kojima comments on the end of physical game production today in Italy:

"Today you can still download data. But at one point games will make into streaming services like Amazon or Netflix and companies will decide if you can play a game or not [...] At this point I won't have anything of my own [...] the data will be somewhere in a company and I will have the right to access it or not depending on how much this data tap is opened.

The fact that the initial data is not in my possession but is somewhere held by a private company means that I will always have that risk that for any reason, whether commercial or political, the company could prevent access to that data and therefore I will no longer be able to see that film, I will no longer be able to play that game.

This is what's happening next for the world of video games and I fear it will also happen for cinema."

@Warlustgg Will definitely do when I get home, just need to write stuff down in case for the future if I need to get a physical gift card or something from Amazon

[Kotaku @Kotaku]

The fallout over PlayStation killing game discs is everywhere.

"Imagine that, one day your entire library of games could be deleted overnight because technically you don't own it," wrote Trevor Noah.

A French politician called games "cultural assets" and said "the law in force must apply to them."

Github is even trolling Sony by letting users request their code be copied onto a CD-ROM and sent to them.

PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND:

We have to talk about the physical vs digital data, A LOT of people still buy Physical games on PS5.
More than you think, like WAY MORE! Please read and understand what Sony is doing it trying to FORCE DIGITAL games! IMO this should not even be legal:

- FY2025 Full Year (Apr 2025 – Mar 2026) = the digital to physical split was 78%/22%.
But this does NOT tell the whole story. Because this is all games sold, not all games that have physical copies and digital! So majority of the 78/22 split don't even have physical, let's look at some real numbers from leaks and stats we have:

From Insomniac Leak:

- God of War Ragnarök: 76% Physical / 24% Digital
- Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga: 63% Physical / 37% Digital
- Astro Bot: 55% Physical / 45% Digital
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: 54% Physical / 46% Digital
- Assassin's Creed Mirage: 49% Physical / 51% Digital
- Resident Evil 4 Remake: 45% Physical / 55% Digital
- Hogwarts Legacy: 44% Physical / 56% Digital
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor: 40% Physical / 60% Digital

UK / Europe Retail Data (GSD – 2023/2024):

- Astro Bot: 55% Physical (UK) / and 60% Physical (Europe) – 2024
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: 54% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Assassin's Creed Mirage: 49% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Hogwarts Legacy: 45% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Resident Evil 4 Remake: 45% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Horizon Forbidden West: 51% Physical (UK) – 2022

People still buy a lot of physical games on PS5, especially when it's SINGLE PLAYER GAMES. When it's more mp then it goes down to more digital. But please don't just listen to the 78%/22% split, those numbers are overall numbers and don't represent the full story AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE!

Because it's not a fair comparison since all games don't have a physical copy or eventually stop printing it. They are trying to paint a narrative to control prices and take ownership from you, that is the truth and spread it!

[Avalanche (DooDoo Booty) Reviews @AvalancheJared]

Who the fuck is out here pre-ordering a digital-only game?!?!?! Like, you think they're gonna run out of download codes???????????

[Shinobi602 @shinobi602]

One of my favorite things as a kid was going through the manual each time my parents bought me a game. It was the first step in transporting me to those worlds.

I remember picking up GTA3 at the mall with my brother and reading the whole manual on the ride home. Good times 💿

[G15 Extra Stuff @G15Extra]

@CrystalLaserYT @nekaishi I’d say preserve the games and good companies/workers we have but the rest of them? Fuck em

[IGN @IGN]

The gaming industry is not responding well to the news that PlayStation will stop producing game discs in January 2028. https://t.co/uWKyVi2t2P

[Culture Crave 🍿 @CultureCrave]

PlayStation is currently facing multiple lawsuits alleging the PlayStation Store operates as an illegal monopoly

(via @Chris_Dring)

[G15 Extra Stuff @G15Extra]

@marlow_ethereal @Gee_Dutreix Hmm might know what the future will hold then

[G15 Extra Stuff @G15Extra]

@BurtonNernie @Gee_Dutreix Fuck. Hopefully one day someone will be able to crack that code then. I’d definitely support that

[G15 Extra Stuff @G15Extra]

@chbubix @s1nicki Did you not see the issue with PlayStation and Studio Canal? While that maybe only movies, that can happen with anything and any media period

[Bring Back Banjo @BringBackBanjoK]

There is a very clear collusion between major video game publishers to seize total control so they can wholly dictate price and kill the 2nd hand market.

Fight it. Boycott everyone who pledges to abandon physical media.

Do NOT let this become the normal. You will regret it.

[MBG @xMBGx]

REMINDER: SONY WANTED TO SHUT DOWN THE PS3 STORE WHEN THE PS5 RELEASED. THEY REVERSED COURSE DUE TO PUSHBACK.

THEY TRIED TO FORCE PC PLAYERS TO LINK PSN ACCOUNTS FOR HELDIVERS 2. THEY REVERSED COURSE DUE TO PUSHBACK
