Harsh reminder:
Shuhei Yoshida, the previous Head of Playstation, cared a lot about the customer. He was the one who made sure the PS4 had physical shareable discs that you could lend to friends or buy/sell used.
Then one day, the then President and CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment Jim Ryan kicked Shuhei Yoshida out of the position of Head of PlayStation in 2019 because Yoshida disagreed with his direction for the company.
In hindsight, Jim Ryan’s “direction” became Playstation’s obsession with live service. Yoshida presumably told Ryan that it was a bad idea, and turns out, it was.
With Shuhei Yoshida gone, Hermen Hulst took his place.
After that, Playstation changed - the gutting of Sony Japan Studios in 2021, censorship of Japanese games ramped up, the live service, and the increase in consumer-hostile decisions such as PSN+ price hikes, removing games and movies from your library…
And now the decision to abandon physical discs by 2028.
When you look back at what made Playstation start to rot, it always started when Sony Interactive Entertainment moved its operations to California…and having leadership who want to do everything in their power to get rid of what made Playstation special.
You will never get another Shadow of the Colossus, another Bloodborne or a Gravity Rush - and you have people like Jim Ryan and Hermen Hulst to thank for it.
Aquí hay que entender algo, no se trata de que un anime romantiza el fumar y el otro no. En realidad tratan a dos tipos distintos de fumadores: Quienes lo encuentran como un pasatiempo controlable y quienes cayeron en la más grave adicción.
Esto aplica para todo en la vida, TODO
120 hours since the biggest self-sabotage in history, and PlayStation is still in total silence🚀
Keep up the pressure. Don’t back down
You are the customer. You got the power
Don’t let them use your enjoyment of games to create a fake sense of loyalty and use that to make you accept and pay for anything they throw at you
Have better standards and stand up for continued physical game releases, and support a true sense of ownership for games
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
This is my physical Kingdom Hearts collection ❤️
Kingdom Hearts is a series that is so important to me and I love it. I remember immediately being drawn to the boxart and knowing this is a game I MUST have. I simply adore it.
Physical games are simply that valuable to me.
A lot of PS5 owners are becoming interested in jailbreaking their consoles after Sony announced it will stop releasing new PlayStation games on physical discs.
A jailbroken PS5 can run homebrew apps, emulators, and other unofficial software. Players see it as a way to preserve games and keep older titles working in the future if Sony decides to start removing games one day.
