Announcing that you’re no longer producing physical games at the same time as announcing that you’re shutting down a digital storefront is quite the choice
Let’s sum things up recently with PlayStation
- Increased PS5 Prices
- Removed over 500 movies/TV shows from PS Store
- Still wants to Focus on live service games after a whole generation of failure with them
- Closed Bluepoint
- Stop Disc Production in Jan 2028
What a joke…
Killing discs in the middle of a storage cost crisis where you can only fit like four games on a drive to begin with is quite the move. See Xbox just cutting its 2TB model since it costs too much
Brilliant decision to make after showing people that digital products you pay for can be taken away at any time, for any reason, no matter what, when you guys removed hundreds of digital media people had bought. Because digital isn't ownership.
You'll own nothing and like it

PlayStation:
It's hard to put into words how fucking stupid of a practice shipping a physical edition with a download code is.
Preservation aside, if I wanted to buy digital, I'd buy digital. This is like ordering a gift card online and waiting for it instead of just getting a code.
BREAKING: Rockstar has revealed pre-orders details:
- Standard Version
- Ultimate Edition
- All disc game versions are on digital only code
- November 12th for pre-downloading

I’m telling you there’s a shelf in some Indian bot farm somewhere that just has a million 20 minute movies that were shit out just to make Twitter engagement bait
