Charlie Kirk’s parents are now demanding that the judge makes all of the evidence presented in the preliminary hearing public for the world to see. As Candace would say, “they don’t know, know, but they know!”
Hey @Naughty_Dog
Quick question.
Your parent company reportedly wants to phase out physical PlayStation games by January 1, 2028. Will we get Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet before then?
I'm asking because I don't buy digital games. If it launches after that date, The Last of Us Part II will sadly be the last Naughty Dog game I'll ever play.
I sincerely hope that's not the case.
Xbox could grab an easy W today: Just commit to physical games.
Put a disc in the box AND a digital code.
Collectors win. Digital players win. Xbox wins.
Dear @asha_shar@XBOX
On behalf of VGP, we would like to share our perspective as a retailer that has proudly supported the gaming industry and the Xbox brand for many years.
When Microsoft originally introduced the vision for the Xbox One with a strong emphasis on digital ownership, the response from consumers was immediate. Sony took advantage of that moment by positioning the PlayStation 4 as the console that embraced physical game ownership, and history shows how influential that decision became.
Today, the market is shifting once again. Sony appears to be moving further toward a digital-first future, creating an opportunity for Microsoft to differentiate itself by becoming the industry's strongest advocate for physical media.
We encourage Microsoft to revisit Project Helix and make physical games a core part of its strategy. There remains a passionate and dedicated audience that values collecting, preserving, lending, trading, and truly owning the games they purchase. As a retailer, we see that demand every day.
The saying "what goes around comes around" feels especially relevant. Years ago, Sony benefited by championing physical ownership while Microsoft moved toward digital. Today, Microsoft has an opportunity to reverse that narrative and become the company that stands behind consumer choice.
Many gamers still look back on the Xbox 360 era as the golden age of Xbox. The platform was synonymous with innovation, great games, and strong relationships with both players and retail partners. We believe Microsoft can recapture much of that goodwill by reaffirming its commitment to physical gaming and by bringing Project Helix to market.
As one of Microsoft's retail partners, we believe a renewed investment in physical media would benefit consumers, retailers, publishers, and Xbox itself. We respectfully encourage you and your leadership team to consider this opportunity and help usher Xbox back to the position of industry leadership that so many fans remember.
Thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to seeing Xbox continue to innovate while supporting the millions of players who still value physical game ownership.
Sincerely
VGP
Some PS5 owners are cancelling their PlayStation Plus subscriptions in protest at Sony's controversial decision to stop releasing games on physical discs — but analysts say this will likely have little impact. https://t.co/cGaRCRbYCl
Hey @XBOX wanna take back a significant share of the gaming market?! Offer physical games for your next gen system, Helix! I (and many others) will convert over to Xbox in a heartbeat! 💯 @Microsoft
Vous voyez ça ? C’est un jeu délisté d’absolument tous les stores dématérialisés depuis des années.
La seule manière de se le procurer aujourd’hui, c’est la seconde main, et ça, vous voulez aussi nous le retirer.
On acceptera jamais ça.
