@SuperButterBuns If we’re going to be forced to make a decision on our consumption of physical media, I don’t know why Sony don’t understand that it’s better for us as consumers to turn to PC gaming

I’m not going back to PlayStation

[Rino🚀 @RinoTheBouncer]

Hey Sony, you know what else differentiates PC from you, other than discs?🚀

✅Free multiplayer
✅Options to buy anywhere
✅Options to have DRM-free from GOG
✅DL Steam purchase even if removed
✅Preservation
✅Good competition in pricing
✅Modding
✅System upgrades and customizations
✅Much better support
✅Biggest library of games
✅Play at the best possible specs

So take that, Sony!
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

Well, this is something isn't it?

As I tell people all the time, this isn't just about plastic or paper, it's about cultural, artistic, and historical preservation.

@ffdek @Tchallyboi Xbox this past week alone have proved why a digital-only platform will not work

[Rino🚀 @RinoTheBouncer]

Both PlayStation and XBOX have shown us within the span of 5 days how incompetent they are with the digital-only future, and how right we all are about our very valid concerns🚀

NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

[Does it play? @DoesItPlay1]

Sony wants to abandon fans? Let's give them a small taste of their own medicine!

Together with other creators we call for a 1 week #PSBlackout in August. No logins, no play sessions, no purchases on any of Sony's platforms.

[❁♡Megan♡❁ @MeganAlice_3]

@SonyElectronics Oh so physical media sells now huh?

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

PlayStation Network is down again for millions of users, and people can’t play their license-purchased games.

Players around the world are reporting they can’t sign in, play online, access the PlayStation Store, or use other PSN features.

This is the future PlayStation is pushing: once servers are down or have problems, all your games will be useless.

[Does it play? @DoesItPlay1]

@PlayStation You are killing ownership. You are killing legal preservation. You are killing discoverability. You are killing publishers. You are killing developers. This is a move that might slightly improve bottom lines, but tear down every other aspect of this medium. Well done! You f*d up!

[Domino's Pizza UK @Dominos_UK]

@PlayStation makes about as much sense as us changing to digital pizzas

[ItsGundo! @GundamIsHere]

Sony just handed next Gen to X box.

[❁♡Megan♡❁ @MeganAlice_3]

@DyingLightGame Release it physically

[Lilly @RealKittyRawr]

Hey @PlayStation , you see how fast they responded?🙂

Sony and Playstation doesn't care about you, they want physical discs gone. They will keep ignoring fans and not care. But there are things they will HAVE TO CARE about:

I have done a lot of research and got help from a lot of people to find out all this info, so please read and try to understand all this. There is no reason to argue with each other, no rage or anything like that will actually do anything. But reading and understanding how things work might:

Right now, a Dutch group is suing Sony for €400 million in the "Fair PlayStation" lawsuit on behalf of 1.7 million gamers.
Their argument is that Sony controls basically all digital game sales on PlayStation and charges a 30% "Sony Tax". According to their research, digital games are around 47% more expensive than physical ones.
Sony’s decision to stop physical disc production in 2028 strengthens their case, because it removes the used game market and leaves gamers with almost no real alternative to Sony’s store.

Even if this Dutch case doesn’t fully win on its own, it still matters. If the court finds Sony is abusing its dominant position, it gives the EU Commission strong evidence to open their own investigation under antitrust rules.

Under EU competition law, the Commission can fine Sony heavily and force remedies so for example by making them allow competing digital stores on PlayStation!

So what can we actually do, since Sony clearly doesn’t care if they lose fans over this?

- If you own a business that will be hurt by this (like a game shop), go to the EU Commission’s competition website and file a Form C. This is an official complaint that forces them to look into how Sony is affecting your business!
- Keep buying physical copies at launch when possible. The more physical sales there are, the harder it is for Sony to claim “nobody wants discs anymore”.
- Sign the “Don’t Kill the Disc” petition on Change org. Big signature numbers are used as proof of consumer harm in these cases. (links under post)
- Support the Stop Killing Games movement. It’s pushing for better consumer rights around game ownership.

Being angry on its own won’t do much. The goal is to create an official paper trail so EU antitrust regulators actually pay attention and take action. This is legit the only way something will change, sony is willing to lose fans over this. Since being all digital for them will be worth it long term!

[Pyo 5️⃣ @mrpyo1]

Sony is getting different lawsuits against them which seems it will be the only way something happens with physical games.

The sad part is, Sony won't care at all from a fans perspective. Even if it loses fans, they don't consider it anything noticable and will make up money from the digital sales and gain new fans with time

The biggest thing as fans you can do is support physical games when there are physical versions of games. There other stuff we can actually do though so I will make a separerate post about that later, especially in the EU. Keep this in mind!
