It's 2029
You just bought a PS6
It cost 1200 dollars
All games are digital
They each cost 80 dollars
You have 4 in your library
Yesterday it was 5 but Sony removed one
They offered no refund, its just gone
You'd strangle yourself with the controller cord but its wireless
@MDVX_Rus@KJovian It different bro. Netflix, HBO, Spotify etc you pay one time but you can access all the movie or series tittle. But in this case you only buy for only one specific product or game tittle.
Sony will do also this to your digital games later:
On the same day Sony told a billion gamers to embrace digital forever, it quietly showed them the catch.
Two announcements, one blog, an hour apart.
First: from January 2028, no new PlayStation game will ship on a disc, digital only.
Second, buried below: Sony is closing the online stores for the PlayStation 3 and Vita, so you will no longer be able to buy games there at all.
Read together, they are not two stories. They are the whole argument about what you actually own.
A disc is the last thing in your home a Silicon Valley company cannot reach. A PlayStation game from 1994 still works today, and the law lets you resell it, lend it, keep it forever.
That is ownership. It is protected by something called the first-sale doctrine, and it applies to physical objects. It does not apply to digital purchases. That is not Sony being cruel. That is the quiet legal truth underneath the whole shift.
Sony's own spokesperson said it plainly today. With all digital content, you are not buying the game. You are buying a personal license for non-commercial use. Not the thing. Permission to use the thing, which depends on the company's servers and goodwill. They once pulled a game called Concord two weeks after launch. Buyers got refunds, but the game itself simply vanished.
This was never really about discs versus downloads. It is about moving the largest entertainment medium on Earth from a world where you own an object the law protects, to one where you hold access the law treats as rented.
Convenient, cheaper, and easier for almost everyone. Also revocable in a way a disc never was.
The click of a disc into a console was ownership. The download is permission. Sony just showed you, in a single morning, how differently the two age.
Do you agree with what Sony did??
@Afrizal_T_F@jokiwododo@Kimberley_PS08@NajwaShihab Kaya makanan MBG bergizi aja pak. Wkwkk
Lalu “dikasih makan gratis = melahirkan generasi baru yg lebih baik”, utopis sekali. Kalau mau cetak generasi yg lebih baik, perbaiki kualitas pendidikan, ratakan program sekolah gratis di indonesia, bukan malah dipotong budget pendidikan
@BANGSAygSUJUD Coba anda pikir, kenapa si anak hanya bisa makan pisang, berarti ekonomi keluarganya yang jelek. Yang harusnya didahulukan adalah mensejahterakan ekonomi keluarganya, berikan pekerjaan dan akses fasilitas yg layak, maka anaknya ga akan kelaparan.
@Homo_sapiens21 Negara mayoritas agama bukan berarti paling religius. ‘Religiusitas’ harusnya diukur dari seberapa benar dia mempraktekkan ajaran agamanya, tapi tentunya religiusitas tidak dapat diukur secara matematis. Amerika, Brazil, dll mayoritas Kristen, apakah bisa disebut negara religius?
@nurdiyansah Gan, agree to disagree aja. Kalau memang ada yg berbeda pandangan, ga usah judge yang lainnya keliru. Ga usah maksain pandangan yg beda ke orang lain
