The justification here mentions “consumer trends” several times, but multiple releases this year - Requiem, 007 - sold out with the limited supply made available. Those “trends” are an engineered decline to save face for the corporate benefits of moving away from physical media.
@OnekGaming@JaceAVinson I find it funny how you are completely okay with 1 game per year (sometimes less). None of these games were revolutionary. God of War and Spider-Man being the most popular games here and even then they both have major issues.
I truly hope PlayStation goes bankrupt. You’re gonna charge me $1000+ for a PS6 that uses digital only and still charge $70-100 per game? Yeah fuck this company. Gaming is dying and its last hurrah will be GTA 6. What a way to end.. thank you AI tech bros. You pieces of shits
@DisclosureDay_ It really is insane cause at this point most people have no incentives to buy a console. Exclusives take too long to release (and have been lackluster) and eventually just get released on PC anyway. What’s the point? They are killing their market
Reset the industry, we have to start over
I don't think there's been a positive thing to say about the games industry since summer games fest week
Every day has continued to be the most ridiculous, greedy, and downright evil news I've seen ever
Sony
FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF
> raise console prices
> get rid of physical media
-> you are here <-
> raise game prices to $100 and beyond
> completely remove the ability to share any digital games
> buying new games will become an expensive hobby, but don't worry they'll definitely make a subscription tier for new games that come out
> hardware will become pricier, the cheapest way to play is using cloud gaming services
> offer a subscription that is reasonable at first
> gradually raise subscription prices
You will own nothing and be happy
If we don't act about Sony's outrageous decision to stop physical media in 2028, gaming might be doomed
offline gaming has basically just died because it won't matter you spent $70 on a game if they can't "verify game licenses" if you aren't connected to internet you are locked out of your games
