No

We are NOT "finally back"

It's a sad state to see content creators champion a bare bones port of a 14 year old game, that costs $40, with a Season Pass SOLD SEPARATELY 💀

Guess what? Optical Microlenses are critical for AI data centers.

That means we can add physical media to the list of things the AI industry has killed alongside affordable hardware.

People don’t realize how much this could change the gaming market.

When physical games disappear, it doesn’t just affect collectors. It affects the entire ecosystem around gaming.

Retro game stores? Many of them survive because people still buy, sell, and trade physical games. As physical media declines, some of those stores will have a much harder time staying open.

Collector’s Editions? If everything becomes digital, what’s the incentive? Are people really going to spend $200+ for a few digital cosmetics and a downloadable license? A huge part of what made those editions special was owning something tangible.

And don’t think retro prices won’t be affected. As fewer physical games are produced, the older ones become even more desirable. Supply goes down, demand goes up, and prices climb even higher.

This isn’t just about preferring discs over downloads. It’s about ownership, preservation, accessibility, local game stores, collectors, and the future of gaming as a whole.

There’s so much more at stake than people realize, and I don’t think the long term impact is good. #supportphysicalmedia

@TheNCSmaster Not for long. Nintendo charging extra for their physical games shows they probably plan to go all digital as soon as possible too.

[Dustin Furman @DustinCanFly]

Yeah this totally sucks. They will eventually try to blame this decision on the handheld, but the reality is, they want you spending more money on games, with less consumer choice.

Don't take my word for it! Look at the prices of physical vs digital on PSN for older titles.

Anyone defending Playstation becoming digital only is a corpo DICK SUCKER and an actual DUMBASS

@PlayStation Physical discs are the only reason I bother using your console.

[MoshiMoshiMoan @MoshiMoshiMoan]

This is it, the test bed. Not only for normalizing prices at 80 to 100 dollars but at fully killing physical. The industry is banking on this. You will pay more and get less. Some really dirty shit from all parties involved. Cant wait for the industry to collapse.

[RenStar @RenStarDeluxe]

Console so fucking good you can play games on it even when it's turned off

[Centro LEAKS @CentroLeaks]

Remember when Nintendo announced new pricing for games in US and people thought they were lowering their prices but we told you they were just being vague on purpose

Well, now it's confirmed. It's a price increase on physical games.
Welcome to the era of $80 Pokémon games.

It’s 2011. An Ocarina of Time and a Starfox remake are coming to the latest Nintendo system

[The Seinen Hero @TheHeroOfSeinen]

Ok so the combat and music of this game is so fucking good. Why does everybody only post goon tweets and not of the amazing combat. This game has bad PR management

[Terminally Online Leftist 🥂 @terminallyOL]

as much as i'm gonna watch a control tv show, that's not gonna fix it

[Synth Potato🥔 @SynthPotato]

Hot take: Online gaming should be completely free, this is a completely arbitrary price with no real benefit.

There is no "market condition" that should result in what is a free service on PC, to consistently increase in price just because you're on console.
