More reports why Sony is trying to end physical discs:
- They want to cut out the middle man, to make more profit per sale (like remove walmart cuts etc)
- Sony thinks the fanbase will not switch platforms, they can do what they please without losing fans
- They are convinced by ignoring this issue, they fans will just accept the changes and convert to 100% digital with time.
- Sony thinks they are "too big to have commination with fans". Talking to fans has no margin benefit, so they refuse to address fans and will keep doing so
I have lost all trust and goodwill with PlayStation, no words what is happening right now. Horrible company
For me, PlayStation started a downward trend around the time it became an American brand. I like some of the western games, and PlayStation always had western games, but the brand itself lost something in 2016 when it became American. A playfulness and customer focused approach.
Sony summed up by @AdamKoralik: They established they are very willing to take down content you own. They are very willing to take down the only network by which you can acquire games. And they are very willing to cut off any sort of alternative.
Alarm bells couldn't be louder.
@GamingAndPandas Reading the tweet and then reading their twitter bio and I'm left looking at the screen with the same kind of sadness and sympathy you look at prey animals on nature documentaries when they are caught by a predator.
