The most retarded thing I've ever seen. $100+ for an empty piece of plastic with some paper inside🤣

@PlayStation ur brand is dying right before your eyes.

[Miss @Valkyria_K]

@PlayStation_jp I bought a ps5 with a disc drive on release. I will not be buying a digital only ps6. Please see the error you have made and fix it. So many mistakes lately, atleast fix your biggest one.

[Miss @Valkyria_K]

@PlayStationUK Oh I remember, that's when you cared about making decent games, apologised to your fans when you made a mistake and cared about discs and your legacy. Now you are a shadow of your former self.

Acheter un jeu au prix fort pour se rendre compte qu'on ne possède rien, qu'on dépend de serveurs qui finiront par fermer et qu'on nous impose du 30 FPS en 2026, c'est accepter d'être pris pour des pigeons.

​Le tout-numérique est un piège. Exigez la propriété, défendez le format disque ! 💿🔥

The most surprising thing to me is that Hermen Hulst is still somehow the head of PlayStation Studios

I wonder if that changes by the end of the current fiscal year

Dejando de lado vuestra apreciación y gusto por GTA VI, haced el favor de ver la simbología detrás de su formato y la realidad que plasma cada parte de su release.

➡️ Una caja con la ranura vacía donde se supone que deberían ir dos Blu-ray y en su lugar un panfleto con un código de descarga dentro.

➡️ No han arreglado una caja para el juego, lo han puesto en una preparada para el formato físico como diciendo "esto debería estar aquí pero nos da igual, vais a tragar con ello igualmente".

➡️ Ni siquiera han desarrollado el online de salida.

➡️ El juego ha entrado en fase gold al mismo tiempo que ha comenzado la pre-carga, algo inaudito en la industria que grita a voces lo apresurado que lo están sacando.

➡️ Irá a 30 FPS.

Están despojando a los videojuegos de toda su magia y este título es el caballo de Troya que representa la visión corporativa de Sony con el futuro solo-digital y tal como dijo Strauss Zelnick, de los juegos en streaming.

Si este es el futuro del gaming, yo no lo quiero.

PlayStation has been hiding behind Rockstar’s GTA 6 to push their all-digital strategy🚀

It’s no surprise that GTA VI was announced as digital-only/code in a box merely few days before Sony announced ending physical media by 2028, plus the marketing deal with PlayStation.

Sony wanted to engineer the narrative that everyone was gonna buy a digital only game, thereby pretending physical media has no audience or necessity.

The thing is Grand Theft Auto VI was always gonna sell well. The game could launch as broken as MINDSEYE and it would still sell 20 million copies or more in its launch weekend.

People were literally trading in crypto to get any leak of the game, so it’s not surprising at all that people would buy the game digital only and buy a PS5 Pro on the hopes that they’d get the best version of it.

GTA5 was the biggest entertainment product of all time, after all. And this is the successor 13 years in the waiting.

So instead of saying “Sony proved everyone wrong”, just look at The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake and see just how many people preferred to pay $10 more to line up by hundreds to get the game physically.

So just imagine what GTA6 would’ve done if it came on disc.

The question is, do you think Intergalactic will do just as good? Do you think any other Sony game would do even remotely? Would they be moving consoles?

After the GTA6 hype calms down, how well do you think Sony will be doing?

At best, they’ve been trying to cover up the terrible image they created the last few months by pretending “hey look we’re selling anyway!”

But it’s all lies and fake narratives as always.

Good luck selling PlayStation 6 at $1000-1200 with no games, no generation leap and no discs, because we’ve seen what a generation full of remasters and cross gens looks like 😅💿

Sony: “Physical games don’t matter”

Meanwhile Nintendo:

[Rino🚀 @RinoTheBouncer]

“Sony’s data show that NO DISC 💿 NO BUY didn’t change anything”🚀

👉Sony documents showed that they calculate DLC, Micro-transactions, free-to-play, and digital-only games as “digital sales” to make it look like physical media doesn’t sell much

👉Sony’s claimed and accused of using bots to show support for their digital-only future

👉Sony’s CFO insinuated that they thoroughly considered their digital only future, when many of their partners were not informed, and they are reported to be sending surveys about it about a month ago (more than 3 months after their announcement)

👉Sony implied that their split with Kojima was amicable, when Kojima himself was surprised by them pulling funding over a zoom call for PHYSINT

Sony are capable of lying and they do lie all the time to push their agenda.

So don’t believe their demoralizing statements and engineered data, because they don’t have one bit of honesty or morals in them.

Physical media MUST continue to be produced and Nintendo and SEGA both showed their intentions to continue producing physical media, and XBOX is implied to be wanting to continue to support it through their hiring listings.

Stand for your best interest, not a fake sense of friendship with a greedy morally bankrupt corporations that served nothing but cookie-cutter slop for a whole generation.

NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

[Battles82 @Battles82]

I'm sorry but I refuse to spend $80 on a plastic box. That's not gonna happen.

[Antonio Sánchez-Migallón Jiménez @MrKaytos]

Sony quiere acabar con esto.

Nintendo, GRACIAS.

Ojalá dure muchos años.

[Azuren — NO DISC 💿 NO BUY @AzurenTheGamer]

Do not let the shills convince you @Sony @PlayStation is winning from these latest numbers, because they have to be panicking behind the scenes. Bin Tao can put on a brave trash face, but at the end of the day the numbers they shared have a deeper story. A thread:

#NoDiscNoBuy

[Miss @Valkyria_K]

@RetroGamer_74 It increased because of gta6 obviously. Not hard to work out.

[Rino🚀 @RinoTheBouncer]

Take Two CEO Strauss Zelnick told players straight to their faces that physical media “makes no sense” and compared it to listening to music from vinyl🚀

Merely weeks later, his company announced 11 physical variants on vinyl and CD for GTA6 soundtracks.

I guess these two are fit for each other😅

[Maku @TropicalMaku]

I saw this in the store and honestly I wish I could feel excited but its just an empty box with a code. These physical releases used to mean something. They used to give us a manual and map in the case alongside the disc.

[Victor Lucas @Victor_Lucas]

Why the hell would any videogame company want to abandon physical games?

Have you seen the lines for Zelda?

Physical games forever.

[MetalDaxSinger #ThankYouPAC @AWH_Dewd]

Four months later, and I still haven’t bought shit from the PS store. Bite me.

[Rino🚀 @RinoTheBouncer]

RECAP on PlayStation’s downwards spiral, with updates on the latest customer un-friendly predatory decisions🚀

❌Announced plans to end physical media by 2028 which ends second hand market and trading, along with game ownership

❌Reminded players that theydon’t own digital games

❌Testing out dynamic and regional pricing which often lead to higher prices

❌Cancelled Hideo Kojima’s PHYSINT, the revolutionary action espionage game that is described as the culmination of his 40 year long career, and a spiritual successor to Metal Gear (an iconic franchise that sold as high as God of War and more than Uncharted, Horizon and The Last of Us)

❌Argues in court regarding how digital game ownership makes no sense using laughable arguments

❌Job listings show that they are working on “Intelligent Pricing” an AI-backed tech that raises prices for certain users over others based on certain metrics

❌With France’s proposed law that charges €0.055 euros per gigabyte of internet traffic, digital games and streaming could end up even more expensive in Europe, and if Sony does indeed end physical media, players won’t have other options

❌Based on various reports, next generation/PlayStation 6 manufacturing cost could be $650 and the retail price likely will be $1000 or more

Meanwhile:

✅Resident Evil Requiem, Wolverine, Ghost of Yotei, Assassin’s Creed Shadows and many other games have sold from 30-51% physical in various regions including US, UK, France and Europe, Japan, Australia..etc.

✅The industry holds resentment for Sony’s decision to end physical media, according to Digital Foundry’s John Linneman

Sony is aiming to create a monopoly that will hurt both physical and digital gamers, and no one should be okay with this.

NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

[Pyo 5️⃣ @mrpyo1]

You want to know what else is a part of your 30+ years? Physical discs

[Does it play? @DoesItPlay1]

The worst joke yet. Celebrating history in the year they announce the end of a crucial element to their success. Killing discs, strong-arming developers, shitting on their fans, and here they are acting like they give the slightest f*** about their history. Pathetic!
