@reddit_lies Humans wishing to be more like dogs and prioritize immediate desire for pleasure over long term satisfaction with a partner. If only there was a guideline that prescribed against this.
The Japanese understand that games are entertainment, meant to delight the players. There is more of a lighthearted nature in Japan, where they see the reveal of a trailer to be part of the fun. I’m not sure why the west enjoys the drama of spoilers and tearing things down. The west sees delight in cracking the PS5 and piracy in general.
@bryan_johnson A lot of messages I see are about your diet. They’re upset you’ve eliminated meat, which they see as a personal attack on what they value. The rest of us appreciate the research and sharing you do for humanity.
@ChibiReviews Execs always have a set schedule when selling their shares. It is typically announced ahead of time to avoid insider trading allegations.
We have games like vagrant story that was released on disc but is only available at fairly high prices on eBay. If it was on the PlayStation store you’d know you’re getting a working copy at a more reasonable price. Don’t get me started on Sega Saturn game prices. People praise Steam since they can still play games they added in their library over 20 years ago. No fear about the laser in your disc drive breaking down. Digital is the best way forward for game preservation and reasonable prices.
It’s a very vocal, but extremely small minority that care. If it were large, then way more physical copies would’ve been sold where it wouldn’t have made sense to stop disc production. Brands like Oppo, who made the best bluray player on the market, left the industry years ago because not enough people cared about physical media, and that is an industry where physical media looks far better than the digital counterpart.
@Genki_JPN The way people are replying to a peripheral, not related to their previous announcement of ending physical media, really shows how awful social media is. Just pure hatred for a guy doing his job posting an arcade stick.
@G27Status “Following this date, new games will be available on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital formats only.”
You’ll still be able to buy it in stores. You’ll still be able to get store discounts. It’ll just be a code in the box, similar to GTA6
@TwinkBukowski I texted “I had a great time” after a first date. We’re now married! You want to filter out the people who are neurotic enough where games are needed.
