@GalvStudios22 For years they've been trying to make it happen through games and even movies. TF: ROTF developer build had plans to make a DLC storyline with the quintessons. Fast forward to today and you see it in TF: One and other games/media. Even Reactivate more so. Makes you wonder...
@Pirat_Nation Lol why does it look like Ben Star is the bad guy in this with a black and white photo and Xbox as the colored photo. Just found it a little funny. Ben Star is right though, I wouldn't be surprised if Xbox did employees dirty like that
@xMBGx If they truly want to make a profit they would keep physical. All of those people they cut off from that will most likely move to PC. Sony is attempting to force people into a digital age and its disgusting. Choice is what matters and for Sony all they want is power, control
@BumbleBurke@TFHypeGuy Oh 100% its the pinnacle to the start of the Transformers Multiplayer world. The first time we had a true PvP game. I just wish we still had one
@BumbleBurke@TFHypeGuy@BumbleBurke I really enjoyed ROTF Multiplayer it was the highlight of everything still love it to this day, so epic! Fights were awesome in Multiplayer
Don't Kill the Disc: Tell Sony to Keep Physical PlayStation Games - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/tcmLqMlR40 via @CdnChange
I'm not usually one for sharing petitions but in my opinion physical disc games should always exist in the future. Help Sign and let companies know!
this needs to be heard by everyone. Physical copies of games must stay. It is a staple of the gaming industry and should not leave. Imagine all of these games in stores, locations that people visit being reduced to nothing because companies decided to go digital only.
Did more digging.
It gets worse.
I decided to compare, isolating the PS5 Platform as a comparison. How many more digital exclusive games are there? and does it correlate with the 85% number?
There are, at this point in time, about 1,120 PRINTED PS5 games (give or take). We are going to assume, that all 1,120 of those games also have a digital counterpart.
I went to the PSN store and simply clicked PS5 Platform and games. So this does not include DLC, MTX, etc. The total? 7,590 games.
But what about free to play?
Lets exclude those, this brings the total down to 7,451 games on the PSN store sorted specifically for the PS5. I want to note, this would be a COMPLETE PS5 library (thus far).
So, simple Math
7,451 - 1,120 = 6,331.
There are 6,331 MORE games on the PSN store than what's PHYSICALLY PRINTED For the PS5. That is 5.65x MORE games. These are all games that sell for 1 dollar, all the way up to your 100$+ digital special editions. If you Buy Final Fantasy Rebirth for 69.99 physically, go home, and buy "Quack McStuffins" for a dollar on PSN, those quantity of numbers are treated as equal.
and it gets even funnier.
Lets take that digital catalogue of 6,331 games and divide it by that complete library number (7,451) and turn it into a percentage.
6,331 divided by 7,451 = 84.96%
Meaning? almost 85% of the PS5's available library is DIGITAL ONLY. Ironic how 85% of Playstation's sales are digital eh?
So, what's happening here?
"All digital" defenders are using False Equivalency, and an Availability bias to gaslight users into thinking that no one plays physical anymore and to "get with the times" in the digital era.
Playstation themselves stated "This is a natural direction for Sony Interactive Entertainment to adapt to consumer trends as the general preference for digital media significantly outpaces physical discs." But this logic is ONLY sound if you apply a False Equivalency.
ALL OF THIS- Before we even take into account of the insomniac leaks back in 2022, which showed that 31 out of the 33 first party games sold MORE in Physical than Digital. And in recent memory, Astrobot selling around 55% physical vs Digital.
So, why are they doing this?
Because MONEY!
Playstation makes WAY more money if you buy the game digitally vs Physically. So playstation is using the backing of convenience, Digital Incentives, indie/AA teams, Mini-Games, and yes, AI Slop, to validate jamming gamers who prefer Physical games with a hot poker into a 100% digital era.
REMINDER: SONY WANTED TO SHUT DOWN THE PS3 STORE WHEN THE PS5 RELEASED. THEY REVERSED COURSE DUE TO PUSHBACK.
THEY TRIED TO FORCE PC PLAYERS TO LINK PSN ACCOUNTS FOR HELDIVERS 2. THEY REVERSED COURSE DUE TO PUSHBACK
#savephysicalgames#NOTBUYINGPS6
@Sony announced they're done with physical games starting in 2028.
There's a pretty good chance I won't be getting the PS6 at this point @PlayStation
The complete disregard and disrespect for the fans who care deeply about physical PS games might be the biggest slap to the face I've see from this company. Absolute joke.

@PlayStation I have been a long time Playstation consumer but the fact that you didn't even try to poll or find out how many of your consumers buy physical disc media is absurd! Forcing the hands of many to become digital is controlling and disgusting... I personally want physical discs
@TFHypeGuy I thought Supergirl was a great start. It didn't need to blow us away with anything crazy. It was showing the very element of supergirl dealing with her past and coming to terms with it while also becoming more mature in the process. Living for a purpose. I agree 7/10
@GameSpot lol no it doesn't. Not going to click on that link because the title alone sounds like a trash opinion. There are more than enough people out there in this day an age still wanting to have physical copies of games
