Who gives a fuck about investors? We had video games before investors and they were advancing things way more than the shit we see now.

Why are people so annoyed when they see someone participating in PS Blackout? That’s fine if they feel it’s not going to achieve anything. I am doing it to send a small message to Sony that physical games matter to me. Even if you think it won’t work, the venom is unnecessary

[2 Old 4 Gaming @2_Old_4_Gaming]

If Sony hadn’t wasted hundreds of millions on poor live service game decisions and $3 billion on Bungie, maybe their margins would be healthier. Physical gamers are paying the price of PlayStation’s bad decisions

Abandoning customers made Sony's stock go up. Leaking actual product information (something of value to customers, even if outdated) does the opposite to Take-Two. 🤔

"Furthermore, his sale would be recorded as pure profit in financial calculations, as academy players have a book value of zero" may well be the single most depressing sentence in football.

Cyberleek, the person behind the alleged GTA 6 map and gameplay video leak has stated in page that he will not stop until Rockstar Games issues a public statement and apology with a concrete commitment to be better.

"No consumer shall pay for a game through digital storefronts before release and independent review. Physical preorders for tangible media remain permitted. Preorders were not created for gamers. They were created because physical discs had manufacturing limits. In digital distribution, there is no inventory. There is no stock shortage. A digital copy cannot sell out. Yet publishers kept the preorder system and stripped away its only consumer benefit. Now gamers pay early and receive nothing in return except a countdown timer and a cosmetic skin.

If publishers want revenue before launch, they can press discs. Print boxes. Put them on shelves. Earn that money through physical production"

Another quote seen from the GTA 6 leaked map says "Fighting for gamers' rights"

Its evident that the whole reason behind those leaks are the decision to ship GTA 6 without a physical copy, making GTA 6 the one game that got leaked the most during its development time.

What is going to be more interesting to see however is if more leaks are going to happen because of this, no one can tell how much info or leaked footage Cyberleek has to share.

As our favorite Pirate Markéta Gregorová said, taking away your consumer rights is a business decision, NOT a technical necessity.
Never let companies like @sony gaslight you.

Friendly reminder that too many people still need to watch our video on how physical discs work when done properly. Bookmark it and spread the word!

Good. Right now this only applies to social media, but it's only a matter of time before it applies to products as well.
That would mean that any game studio planning to sell in the EU - i.e all of them - would need to disclose their Gen AI use or risk some hefty fines. Bring it.

15 seconds of in game action from Melkhior's Tower, my upcoming title exclusive to the Playdate. Can't give too much away, but the first iteration of all levels is now complete. 221 rooms in total.

You don’t own your movies, your games, anything.

It’s all a license they can take away at any given point for any given reason.

That’s why they are dismantling physical, that’s why the lobby meets with lawmakers 13 days before responding to us or lies in the Senate.

It’s actually 50%+ when you remove dlc, subscriptions and chart a month with actual games releasing

[Does it play? @DoesItPlay1]

Ok, we give up now, right?

Seriously, though, don't let a bit of corpo speak during an earnings call keep you from fighting for your rights and for what you love! Sony was never going to just cave after a few weeks of backlash. But they do see us! This is only the beginning!

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

PlayStation fans are planning a “PS5 Blackout” after Sony announced it will stop releasing games on physical discs in 2028.

The idea is simply not to play, buy or log in on your PS5 for one week in August.

Fans hope that if enough people join, Sony will notice the drop in activity and rethink its decision.

534 days. ⏳Physical games don't just support players— they support thousands of independent game stores around the world.

Behind every independent game store are real people, real jobs, and real families. The end of physical games affects far more than what's on our shelves.

@PlayStation @Sony Don't leave us behind 💿

[VGP Video Games Plus @VideoGamesPlus_]

536 days. ⏳

@PlayStation, Today's reminder comes from the community:

"We don't buy physical because we're stuck in the past.

We buy physical because we want to own what we pay for."

Thank you to everyone standing up for physical games.

@Sony, we're still here.

💿This is the real reason Sony wants to destroy physical media.
