And there it is: no longer just games. Movies, Software, your GPS, all of it. "You will own nothing and be happy" was never a statement of intent. It was a prophecy.
Christopher Nolan previously said movie fans should keep buying physical media as the industry shifts toward digital-only releases.
“If you buy a 4K UHD, you buy a Blu-ray, it’s on your shelf, it’s yours. No company is going to break into your house and take it from you and repossess it.
It’s yours, and you own it. That’s never really the case with any form of digital distribution.”
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick says physical discs "don't really make sense" for big games like GTA 6
“Our business is well over 90% digitally distributed. It's already a digital business. So in certain instances, especially if it's a big game, discs just — note I said discs — don't really make sense for the consumer.
Translation: „we want to scam you out of your money, you having no rights, no second hand market“
Sony is now being sued in five countries over claims that it has too much control over digital game sales on PlayStation.
The lawsuits, filed in the United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Portugal, and Mexico, argue that because Sony is the only company allowed to sell digital PlayStation games through the PlayStation Store, it can keep prices higher and give players fewer choices.
@BestMarvelU When I first saw this i was oh god damn. Then to see hulk being scared was interesting throughout infinity war. I was expecting a really cool character arc then an awesome fist to cuffs where hulk overcomes Thanos in end game....... but no.... imagine writing character developmnt
@Normalssbbbx I would add (player dependent) for the "cool" tier. These characters can be cool but how many players actually play cool with them, if that makes sense.
No disc so you'll never own the game, 100 euro if you want all content, and now you need a Netflix subscription for an early look at gameplay even if pre-orders have already started
Truly everything that's wrong with gaming in 2026
@Acrux_Ander Gta6 is $80-$100. People have already bought it...... Rockstar has yet to reveal 1 single spec of the gameplay.....
Idk about everyone else. But I have a weird feeling this game isnt finished yet.
Son, I'll explain to you on fingers.
SONY's fuck up doesn't make Nintendo good guys. GAME-KEY CARDS are a hook 🪝 to herd you, dumb consumer, into all digital future. But slower.
Bravely Default has no business being GK when Nintendo's larger games are on carts and run well.
Sony Execs after the 2011 PSN attack by outsiders: Public apology and bow
Sony Execs in 2026 after their decisions angered lots of its customers: literally looking down on everyone as they tell you to suck it up and shut up.
Reminder Sony and PlayStation do not care about you.
Change isn’t gonna happen if you’re gonna only sign petitions or stop playing for a short while🚀
Do those, but extend that into:
✅Not buying digital
✅Buying physical games
✅Unsubscribe from PS+
✅Keep speaking up
You have until January 2028
❌Nintendo thought they’d always be on top
❌Xbox thought they’d always be on top
Now PlayStation thinks they’re invincible and their fans will come along
Prove them wrong, and pay no attention to the snakes in the media, they are Sony’s sock puppet.
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
Since IMAX has been a major topic of conversation lately with ‘The Odyssey’ being in theaters, now’s a fitting time to share a little bit of IMAX lore.
For ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ the arena sequences were shot with IMAX cameras, so if you watch the movie on a standard Blu-ray, as Katniss enters the arena, the film’s aspect ratio will change from a standard 2.40:1 aspect ratio, to a full 1.78:1 ratio to fill the entire screen for the rest of the movie.
You can’t watch the movie this way on streaming or digital platforms.
Another reason why preserving physical media is important.
PlayStation fans are planning a one week online strike in August, refusing to log in or play games in protest against the end of physical media. #PSBlackout
Are you planning to take part in the protest? 🎮
