Personally what I find the most alarming about the Sony No Disc controversy is just who and how many industry leaders in news/media are fighting to damage control for Sony.
Are they paid off? Afraid of losing event access? Because it should be SO EASY to stand with consumers
"Digital future in gaming is inevitable. It was going to happen sooner or later."
Says who? WHO? It hasn't happened anywhere else. Movies, music, books... are still being sold physically.
It's a stupid (and false) narrative fueled by corporate greed. As simple as that.
Misdirection city with this article. Several questions remain unanswered if you read the article or even go to its source Mat Piscatella, such as:
What are the 7 games?
Of the 7 games, did they ALL just break just slightly over 100k? sell over a million? What are the exact numbers?
How many digital releases that coincided with physical releases sold over 100k this year?
And lets be honest with ourselves, how many notable games released on the PS5 this year?
In its current state its frankly poor reporting. Which makes the subheadline "Case Closed" in the article kind of humorous.
Después de semanas manteniendo el pulso por el formato físico, no paran de salir “noticias” de este estilo para desmoralizar y deslegitimar nuestra queja.
Pues gente, no hay que ceder, esto nunca fue de digital vs físico, sino de ✨mantener las dos opciones✨ y así poder ESCOGER
Have seen this going around and feel it needs to be said
- Data is US Only
- 100K is the low end, titles like Resident Evil Requiem sold more than that physically
- Physical has been selling less than digital for awhile now, that doesnt mean we should accept less consumer rights
The resistance against Sony's attack on physical media continues under every Sony/PlayStation post. Love to see it! However, this also hits game announcements. Don't forget to show these hard-working devs some love on other consoles. It's not their fault that Sony hates games.
its very possible that Sony loses the license to marvel titles in the future which would result in this game being pulled from their digital storefront
have you noticed how PLAYSTATION is posting so much about indie games recently, as they have never done before?
it's like they want THOSE games to suffer the backlash
they are anti-gaming. anti-indie. anti-art.
