Four months ago today, Sony announced their predatory plan to end physical media🚀
Here’s a reminder of the dangers of a digital-only future, which gullible fan boys and paid sock puppet-media conveniently overlooks:
❌No game ownership
❌No preservation
❌No competition > high prices
❌Regional & dynamic pricing > high prices
❌No refund if a game is removed from PSN
❌Reliance on Sony’s bad customer support
❌Region locked code-in-box games
❌Total reliance on networks/internet
❌64% of the world has no PSN > no games
❌If account is lost > all your games are lost
❌If you move to another country, there is no way to change regions > need to repurchase all your games, per Sony’s terms
👉You aren’t responsible for the profitability of studios and publishers.
👉You won’t owe studios whose games you don’t like any money
👉You shouldn’t put the benefits of studio or publisher above your own best interest, because they are not your friends, they are a business and they’ve emphasized clearly how self-serving they all are
So save us the white-knighting for corporations and don’t let gaming being ruined more than it already has been.
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
Also for anyone that wants to use this information to show the people that are foolish and say that #Dandadan has fallen off they do realize Dandadan is currently the 3rd best-selling manga in Japan for the 2025 fiscal year
I'm also reposting this because I really want people to share this so that they can understand what's going on with Okarun. We should all be very pissed at CSG for doing this to him. He's making one hell of a villain turning a kid into a monster. #Dandadan
Perfect opportunities currently for the "who doesn't have internet" crowd to check how many games they can download from a source that isn't available.
Ex-PlayStation boss Shawn Layden chimed in on Sony’s plan to end physical media stating “I don't agree with that decision”🚀
While Layden understands the convenience of digital games, he insists that even if 80% of people download games and 20% buy them physically, the 20% is “super important”
He added that these are the most “faithful of the faithful” players, who even buy multiple copies of a game to add to their collections🫡

Huge respect to Shawn Layden for having a full understanding of gamers and the importance of physical media, and that it’s not about whether digital or physical has the bigger percentage, but rather honoring the options and wishes of the most loyal, in addition to the many other benefits of physical media.
I would do anything to have gave back as a CEO of PlayStation alongside Shuhei Yoshida, both of whom have demonstrated their passion for gaming and great understanding of gaming culture, and both of whom made Sony flourish under their influence and wisdom💿
There's currently a User Survey from Playstation asking how you feel about the brand.
If you're someone upset about the potential move to all-digital (even for the PS5 which is still an active system) or something else.
I would recommend filling this out.

There is a big official PlayStation Survey that lets you speak out your opinion on the brand, things like this can make a difference!

PlayStation has a user survey about PS5🚀
Make sure to let them know that you want physical media to continue to be produced beyond 2028 for all games, and how important it is for you that they do that⬇️
@RinoTheBouncer Both. One is I like to relive the nostalgia of first playing Ocarina of Time many years ago as a remake game. Second is I forward of playing FFVII Revelation due to much more content including story and combat is being added as it reaches a conclusion to the Remake trilogy.
There it is. The hesitation. The doubt. The first signs of them reconsidering.
KEEP THIS MOVEMENT ALIVE. KEEP THE PRESSURE ON 🔥🔥🔥
I’m telling you WE ARE GOING TO WIN THIS
„To clarify and avoid any misleading information: in that statement Dietmar anticipated an overall product volume decline by 10%, not a decline down to 10%.” - said Sony DADC Austria
It make huge difference. It means Sony has and will still have the capacity to produce discs. They left that door open.
Don’t let anyone convince you that our voices don’t matter. They fucking matter. Every post, every comment, every person speaking up puts more pressure on them and damages the image they’ve built. No matter how many followers you have. Your voice has to be loud!
That pressure reaches developers and partners too. Because when PlayStation announces something and nobody is talking about the actual games anymore, when the entire conversation becomes about greed, anti consumer decisions and frustration that becomes a problem they can’t simply ignore.
This was never just about one game, one disc, or one decision.
It’s about CHOICE.
It’s about CONSUMER RIGHTS.
It’s about the FUTURE OF GAMING.
Keep speaking. Keep pushing. Keep fighting.
🔥 FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE OF GAMING 🔥
