@LonoSG People who buy discs aren’t the idiots. I bought wolverine disc on amazon for £55, can resell it get my money back or keep. Digital version is £70, doesn’t discount during preorder,and money lost, then can be took from you. Digital buyers are financially irresponsible
#psblackout
@LonoSG Its not just about discs but “It's about control, and about profit over the people who built this platform.” Why are 85% people happy buying new digital £70 no resale value over buying disc for £55-70 and can resell. Digital should be £30 as no disc/retailer costs
#psblackout
@LonoSG No its not, as both betamax and vhs gave ownership and i still have them both after all these years. Nobody came to my place to take either of it away. Yet I have had loads of digital taken away from me. Digital is a scam and a rip off not progress. vhs/dvd/cd was progress
@GrumpyDug@DoesItPlay1 So ps never announced ending physical then, and all the backlash past couple of months is us being delusional? That is good we can still keep buying physical games from Sony released from 2028🤪 If we cant play ps4/5 discs in ps6 some people may start buying digital now, i’m not
@Xvault2 If you gaming on ps5 you are the sheep or lemming willing to follow digital off a cliff. People boycotting right now are not sheep, willing to stand up for our rights. Its also not about discs “It's about control, and about profit over the people who built this platform.”
@playstationyesr Yeah you do, you are worried that this will lead to playstation shutting down, and then you will lose all your digital. The way the gaming industry is going I do not trust buying digital. Digital is only safe as long it is all thriving, and ps is currently losing that.
@GrumpyDug@DoesItPlay1 When a company goes from selling physical to digital it needs to be done to let physical buyers be aware. Xbox/Nintendo still sell physical media, and steam says it upon every purchase so i do not know what you are talking about, you just another troll/bot shit posting
@Laynix__ If the #psblackout does not help then will do, not buying any more ps games or ps subs and just play what we got, then when done will sell it all. It is stupid selling now and then they change their mind next week and have to buy it back for more money, just stupid.
@_MambaForever_ Discs not worthless, digital is worthless. I buy game on disc, play it, sell it, get money to buy another game, play it, sell it etc. they keep me playing/buying games non stop=fun. Digital is buy game, play game, twiddle thumbs for months saving money, then buy next game=boring
@TheGamesTester I have hunted for marvels ultimate alliance ps4 for many years but have not been able to see one selling on ebay. Digital lasts a lot less than disc, and disappearing faster and faster.
@TheGamesTester I have millions of discs but never get disc rot on them all, I have not seen one yet and blu ray does not get it. I have seen 551 movies get totally destroyed from ps store all in one go.
Discs will be back (just buy again ebay). digital does not be back

@DoesItPlay1 So it begins, the #psblackout to prevent:
No discs, no competition, no safety net – welcome to PlayStation’s future https://t.co/xw9kOyFMbT
@goshjoshgames I will only buy a ps6 if has disc drive and play ps1-5 games from disc, but I will not be buying any ps6 games if they will not be on disc. Only chance to play them will be ps+
No discs, no competition, no safety net – welcome to PlayStation’s future https://t.co/xw9kOyFMbT
@beezer812@Bilboswaggends4 Disc to digital is the closest in all these years to be able to sell our digital games. If you or anyone does not think that is good, then something is seriously wrong with the lot of you.

@beezer812@Bilboswaggends4 Discs are the future because companies can not keep digital alive, and there is no point in buying digital when you can get digital too from discs. At least next xbox can play discs even if digital, so can series s, pc, rog ally, you clearly do not understand disc to digital.
@adol1701@DoesItPlay1 I never received email saying they are ending discs, the email I received said that any digital I buy I do not own, but is a licence and they can revoke the licence and stop me playing game at any moment
@mckee_corey@DoesItPlay1 The rational and realistic thing is that ps will reverse decision as physical is making a come back as people are realising that digital is a rip off and do not really own it. Digital gaming is like gambling and 85% do not gamble these days as both are irresponsible spending.
@beezer812@Bilboswaggends4 Whilst ps is falling apart and when they shut down you will lose all your digital. The only chance ps have of surviving is keeping discs going. If discs are not saved i will be certainly jumping ship to xbox permanently for good and not touch ps again
