I am the 38-year-old creator of 7 movelist projects (5 of them revolving around One Piece and 1 revolving around Shizuru Kuwabara) and also work at a walmart.

Any attempt to save physical media will ultimately fail simply because too many of you are completely without any kind of spine

[roroc @roro__c]

This is EXACTLY what we’re warning about.

Content you “purchased” can disappear from your library because a licensing agreement changes.

Now imagine a digital-only future where your entire game library works under the same basic principle: you don’t own a permanent copy... you own access subject to a license.

And even after removing something you PAID FOR, @Sony actually end the notice with “Thank you.” 💀

This is why ownership and physical media matters. This is why consumer choice matters.

You're making GTA 6 for the investors and shareholders, not for the people who actually play your games. If you were making it for them, you'd listen to criticism and this shit wouldn't have escalated to this point.

13 years. Billions of dollars. Supporting anti-consumer practices. Raising prices. Refusing to communicate with your player base about any of it.

You made your bed, pissed all over it, and now you're looking at us like it's our fucking fault. Nah. You lay in it.

[LION @Lion_Central]

O leaker de GTA 6 simplesmente torrou todas as criptos que ele tinha (valor superior a 1 milhão de dólares) só pra provar um ponto:

"Não se trata de dinheiro"

A Rockstar tá oficialmente FUDIDA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[Pagan @Pagan_GMR]

Update:

They’re not just hunting the leaker.

Take-Two got court approval to pull personal info (emails, phone numbers, IPs, device IDs) from ~100k Discord users across multiple servers... including DarkViperAU’s 90k-member server.

Most of those people are complete bystanders who had nothing to do with the leaks.

A multi-billion dollar company turning Discord into a mass surveillance tool the second their IP gets threatened.

And remember… once they have that personal data, there’s no real guarantee they can even protect it.
These big companies get breached regularly. When (not if) it happens again, your info is just sitting there waiting to be leaked.

Greed + power = this exact playbook.

[GODZTheDon @GODZtheDon]

Call me crazy, but I kinda hope this game fails so that way the gaming industry can go back to being less greedy and expensive

[God Empress of Mankind @nuhre_]

But why? Could it be because games now take ten fucking years to make, cost more than ever, you don't actually own them, and 90 percent of them are mediocre at best and downright fucking bad at worst?

Painting people as miserable, joyless haters because we're pointing out that maybe, just maybe, the industry has a fucking problem when we literally have more expensive games, longer development cycles, less ownership and increasingly mediocre shit is insane.

Like sorry for noticing. I'll try to be more grateful while I'm being charged $100 for my digital rental.

Everyone remembers this six flags commercial

[Man and Superman 🥊🥋🏀 @MainEventTV_AKA]

Fans, Sony has reportedly spent money on bots and grifters to deter you from talking about physical games. They want to discredit your voice. They told you they will ignore you.

Is this how a company are supposed to treat their fans? Read the bottom two bullets points

[GTA 6 Intel @ConstantGTA]

Rockstar reportedly told Sony to remove GTA VI's branding from the PlayStation App after the disc controversy got too hot

Sony killed physical discs for all PlayStation games starting January 2028.

The backlash was instant.

Politicians calling for regulation. KFC and Domino's publicly roasting them. The internet turned on Sony overnight.

A week ago Sony had GTA VI everywhere.

App icon changed. PS5 dashboard taken over. Store completely redesigned. No PlayStation game has ever gotten that treatment.

Now all of it is quietly gone.

When Rockstar doesn't want to be associated with your decisions you know it's bad.

[Heroutz @oheroutz]

Stellar Blade é um dos jogos mais feministas de todos os tempos.

Trata-se da história de uma mulher forte e feminina, que salva o mundo, cuida da aparência e não abaixa a cabeça pra ninguém.

Ela não precisa abrir mão da sua feminilidade para ser competente, respeitada ou poderosa. E, para quem não gosta dos trajes mais justos, o próprio jogo oferece diversas opções de roupas, incluindo visuais mais discretos. Afinal, uma mulher pode vestir o que bem entender, certo?

Na minha opinião, só deixa de enxergar isso quem já está tão preso a uma visão ideológica específica que passou a tratar feminilidade e empoderamento como coisas incompatíveis. Nem toda mulher precisa parecer um homem para ser badass.

Nos games, aprendemos isso com a escola Lara Croft lá na década de 90.

RIP Monty Oum — The RWBY creator would have been 45

Remembering Monty Oum, the visionary animator whose gaming‑inspired action work — Haloid, Dead Fantasy, Red vs. Blue, and RWBY — transformed online animation and influenced creators worldwide. His unmatched creativity, speed, and passion left a permanent mark on the gaming and animation community.

Tomorrow marks what would have been his 45th birthday. He tragically passed away in 2015 due to a severe allergic reaction during a medical procedure , but his legacy continues to inspire millions.

[Chibi Reviews @ChibiReviews]

Payment Processors are now being contacted to ban "Stellar Blade Blood Rain". This tactic is exactly what Collective Shout did last year to get "Steam" and "Itch io" to censor 1000s of games. Please like this post and video to spread awareness. https://t.co/mV715xfAQ6

SNK’s greatest enemy consistently alternates between their financial woes and their marketing, but marketing is usually their most consistent nemesis.
