@MzLadeeSuga This soapbox outrage is ten years too late. In 2013 Sony literally mocked Xbox for restricting physical games, and gamers still spent the next decade building digital libraries. Now the outcome arrives and everyone wants to pretend they had no hand in it. Completely disingenuous.

@MawkAnthony What does twitter labeling my reply probable spam have to do with anything I wrote? That’s completely irrelevant. You’re dodging the point because you know spamming social media staff won’t pressure the executives who made the decision.
@khaliltooshort Corporate greed is apparently consumers spending a decade choosing digital convenience over physical ownership, then pretending Sony forced them into it.
@OliverJia1014 If your real concern is ownership, start demanding permanent access, offline functionality, license transfers, inheritance and end of life support across every digital platform. But nuance exposes how shallow this outrage cycle is and “Sony evil” farms better engagement.
@OliverJia1014 That comparison is dishonest. Leaving one game untouched for three years has nothing to do with abandoning an entire PSN account. Sony then contacts you and gives another six months to log in or keep it open. Digital rights deserve scrutiny without this fearmongering.
Gamers really are cattle led by engagement farmers. Most of these accounts never cared about physical ownership or PlayStation until the topic started printing impressions. Now they recycle misleading posts, farm outrage and pretend they’ve fought this battle for years.
@MawkAnthony Newsflash: that never happens. PlayStation executives aren’t scrolling replies waiting to be convinced. You’re swarming social media staff with zero authority over the policy. Executives respond to lost revenue and investor pressure, not mobs under unrelated posts.
Why would Sony send its social media team out to absorb nonstop harassment from people who refuse to admit they helped create this outcome? Throwing a tantrum now does not erase a decade of sales data showing gamers repeatedly chose digital convenience over physical ownership.

@TemplarsRoar@Asmongold People are reacting to Asmongold’s reputation instead of what he actually said. He never argued discs are useless, he argued they don’t guarantee ownership when authentication, forced updates and servers can still control access. He overstated it but the core point is right.
@heaaaps Sorry data and financial analysis hurt your feelings. Maybe instead of soapboxing now, you should’ve spent the last decade buying physical games. I’d bet $100 your own library is mostly digital.
@BeskInfinity You had ten years to fight digital ownership, but waited until Sony announced the end date to start screaming about fairness. Like children ignoring chores until the deadline. You’ve milked this for engagement for days, though so congrats on the exposure dork.
@ITARviolation This is like the 5th post ive seen of someone getting ghosted, whats going on? Ive had this happen to me recently trying to plan a date as well. It seems like everyone is getting cold feet? Sorry this happened to you OP
