REPORT: Microsoft is claimed to continue producing physical discs for XBOX🚀

They also aim to primarily focus on ensuring their old games run on future devices

In the very last year of this generation, XBOX could be securing a huge win that outweighs anything Sony did in this abysmal generation😎

Let’s not allow corporations to redefine what it means to buy something🚀

✅There should be no question that buying something means you get to own it forever and use it unhindered

✅We should not be paying prices of purchase for a glorified rental

✅If they can revoke or alter a product we bought at any time, then we should be able to refund at any time

✅Loving a game should not mean losing your sense of self respect and your rights as a customer, just so you can please a company’s predatory terms

Boycott. Speak out. Be loud and persistent.

NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
STREAMING ☁️ NO BUY

Jeu très cool que ce Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 qui n'existe plus du tout sur les divers stores pour "expiration des licences".

Beaucoup disparaissent des marchés numériques ainsi sans laisser de trace, et le seul moyen 'légal' d'y jouer reste encore la version physique dans ces cas précis heureusement.

C'était aussi le cas pour Spec Ops The Line et tant d'autres.

Amazon acaba de desmantelar casi todo el servicio de Luna tras admitir que el modelo no funciona, y Capcom ha tenido que recular apostando por formato físico y nativo en Switch 2 tras el fiasco técnico de los Resident Evil Cloud. Hablamos de Stadia? En qué mundo vive este pavo?

The Evil Within – chef-d’œuvre de Shinji Mikami.
Bloqué à l’achat direct en numérique sur le Store.
Plus de bouton d’achat.
Heureusement que le disque existe.
Il est sur mon étagère.
Toujours jouable.
Aucun serveur. Aucune licence qui expire.
Le physique, c’est la seule vraie

The goal is to have complete control over what you buy, how you buy, and for you to own nothing. Please look through the bullshit

Los videojuegos no son solo entretenimiento y servicio, son arte y cultura.

Nadie que los aprecie va a tratarlos como meros objetos de consumo y si las grandes plataformas comienzan a hacerlo por pura codicia, tenemos el deber moral como usuarios y fans de pararles los pies.

No sé si os pasa pero desde el anuncio de Sony siento que me han mermado la ilusión por los videojuegos un montón.

Sigo jugando con amigos, sobre todo a FFXIV y tengo mi backlog listo con Xenoblade 2 para Switch 2 en cabeza, mis planes para esta próxima temporada con Resonance, Evercold y Revelation y todo, pero me sabe tan mal lo que le están haciendo a la industria que no puedo evitar que se me oscurezca un poco la experiencia.

Conste que tengo mucha fe en que podemos cambiar las cosas y estoy muy volcado con la revuelta, eso no creo que haga falta decirlo a estas alturas, solo siento que todo lo que está pasando es una pena y duele ver a gran parte de la comunidad gamer tan desconectada, tan egoísta y pasota, con lo serio e importante que es todo lo que sucede y lo que las empresas están haciéndonos estos días.

Sé que es inevitable, todo tiene su proceso y aún así vamos por buen camino igualmente pero no le quita que al vernos en esta realidad tan distópica y por qué no decirlo, inhumana, me esté sintiendo muy fuera de lugar.

¿Os pasa?

We are watching the collapse of gaming and utter disrespect of players and the craft in real time, and we’re being gaslit to think it isn’t happening or that it’s somehow a good thing🚀

🗣️Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick argues that physical game discs make no sense for consumers

🗣️He also predicts that game streaming will be more commercial/mainstream in about 3 years due to the increasing prices of consoles and PC (Did he forget Stadia???)

So hear me out:

✅PCs and consoles became more expensive due to data centers

✅Now they want you to rent out data centers instead of the hardware that data centers caused to be overpriced

The same way they push physical games away:

❌We had was a box with a disc, a manual, a map and maybe another game’s demo

❌Then they took the items, then the map

❌And then they started making the game on disc require download or always being connected even for some single player games

❌Then they started counting DLC, MTX, free-to-play and digital only to inflate digital sales statistics and make it seem like physical games aren’t in demand, when even %10 is still million of people

❌Now they wanna take away disc, and to give you a code n the box, while the prices keep rising, while value and options keeps declining

This is their next step to making you own nothing, lock you into their ecosystem so you can remain subscribed and paying for their slop forever.

They will gaslight you into thinking “downloading games makes no sense, streaming is the way!”

Just like how the hypocrite argues physical games are like vinyl records and that “Sony knows better” when Sony themselves are marketing vinyl record players are the best way to listen to music and vinyl record sales are so high that artists release many variants to boost their album to No.1

And it’s crazy that gaming is the medium that needs physical media the most, as it’s the most demanding in terms of downloads and streaming compared to music, film, books and shows, all of which are far easier to access via download or streaming for a long time.

And as usual, gaming is the one industry where the customer is always assumed to be “wrong, entitled and toxic” and treated like children and expected to spend like adults, and also expected to worry about profits for CEOs, studio closures, and basically everything but their own best interest.

Enough is enough!

Stand up for your own self interest, before it’s too late for any meaningful change to happen.
