The REAL Jacob Yorton. Don't follow any fakes. I'm the real deal.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@1jovahn @IGN I have a disc drive and I have a physical copy of every PC game I ever paid for.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@PlayStation Multiple endings, yet the digital one @Playstation is choosing is wrong.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@PlayStation In the future I will be in the exotic kingdom where I own the physical games I pay for. In an all digital future, retro is the way to go.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@OhRichard271 @PlayStation Would be nice to own what we pay for, and have options for how to buy it. Would be nice to not need to rely on an internet connection and someone else's servers to play our games.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@PlayStation Right now the stupid that never dies is @PlayStation getting rid of physical media.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@PlayStation I want to explore a world where I own the games I pay for.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@PlayStation

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@PlayStation "Hands-on", like you can put your hands on it, like a CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, UMD, or cartridge? I'm in!

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@PlayStation Isn't this the game that @XBOX released physically and fully playable from the disc 25 years ago? Thank God I didn't pay for a revokeable license.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@PlayStation Ah, I see @PlayStation is tempting gamers to give them more money to borrow digital licenses for more games for an undetermined length of time. Nah, I'm good with the physical media I own.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@PlayStationFR Grand Turismo 3. I remember how excited I was when I got it with my PS2 for Christmas! The way the case felt, box art looked, snap sound of opening the case, putting the disc in the tray...

The tactile joy that makes these strong memories doesn't exist in a digital future.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@evang3los @SpawnWaveMedia There are several different ways this could be done, just need a modded Vita.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@PlayStation How's that all digital future coming along?

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@PlayStation Thought I entered the wrong afterlife when I saw an all digital games future for @PlayStation this morning...

But then again, my physical games worked fine. I was in heaven.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@Lancaster_1899 @PlayStation They don't lose any money making physical games. Sony literally created Blu-Ray technology. Making discs and burning game data costs next to nothing. Blu-Ray drives for the consoles cost a few dollars, yet they sell the disc drive for the PS5 for $80 on their site.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@Lancaster_1899 @PlayStation Over 90% of physical PS5 games have the whole game on the disc. It needs to install to the hard drive, but it doesn't require a day one download or internet authentication before playing.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@1jovahn @IGN Freedom. You still can buy physical games for PC. There are multiple competing storefronts to buy from. There is no specific hardware or operating system requirement. Some storefronts like GOG not only allow copying the full game to discs, they have guides on how to do it.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@Trollingzkov @pushsquare Shows how vulnerable Playstation is. This isn't their first major outage. And if DDoS is the cause, that makes this even worse, as they have been DDoS attacked multiple times before and a DDoS is preventable.

How are your digital games playing? My discs work perfectly.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@PlayStation Yeah, it's fun not being able to play my digital PlayStation games because servers are down.

[Jacob Yorton @JacobYorton]

@PlayStation How are those plans for an all digital future going, where we can't play our games during your outages?
