Real sick and tired of people acting like homophobia just happens with slurs and physical attacks, when in reality it's in jokes, and comments, and the looks, and the censorship and the complete change in vibes when that censorship is broken.
All we want is to be ourselves
AmeriCUNTS need to stop talking about nintendo
90% of your issues with the company come from YOUR stupid third world ass bum coutry
The TARIFS - AMERICA
Games never going on sale - AMERICA
90$ Games - AMERICA
ALL OF THESE ARE AMERICA ONLY PROBLEMS SO SHUT UR BITCH ASS UP
They have all shown their true colors this generation🚀
✅PlayStation: wants to end physical media, and player ownership, 2nd hand market and create a monopoly, all that after wasting a whole generation on live service slop and cross gens, and shutting down studios.
✅Nintendo: creating slop with graphics from 3 generations ago for $80 on some games and thinks government tariff refunds are theirs while they’re happy to rob players.
✅Xbox: barely any games for a whole generation, decisions made on the fly without any real plan, creating a low end console that detailed this generation and glazing game pass which cost many studios their livelihood since they cultivated the mentality of not buying games.
All of that, and they’re all projecting their failure onto players, blaming them for their own shortcomings as if we owe them something.
Enough is enough!
We decide what’s worth our money.
No other industry is as entitled as the creative side of the gaming industry.
Just because it’s entertainment doesn’t mean we should accept the lowest standards, no respect, and an ever-shrinking value.
Speak loud
Fight for the value your see fit
You got the money, you got the power
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

Yeah you would need to invent some kind of console with an open slot for some kind of fast flash storage that can be easily swapped for it to make sense, it's a shame nobody has invented that for modern consoles or even have had it exist for 40 years
Did a little research into this "85% of games bought on Playstation are digital". So I decided to look at the EXACT wording of what that meant.
Spoiler: Its not "Out of 100 copies of Spiderman sold, 85% are digital"
Here's how they calculate it.
Digital Units sold, Divided by Total Units sold, times 100.
Straight forward right?
In Q4 of 2025, sony sold 74.6 million units in total, that is both Digital and Physical units.
But the "85% of all games bought are digital" has a HUGE skew to it. Why? Because there are THOUSANDS of DIGITAL only games that do not get a PHYSICAL release. Think the 5$-20$ indie titles or digital only ports of older games.
However, those digital sales are counted AGAINST the physical sales. Meaning? Even if EVERYONE who stopped buying Physical in the past 5 years, went out and bought one game a month? Digital will still dominate physical because (mostly) everything thats physical is also digital, but very little that is digital is also physical.
The Comparison is not fair and when its thrown around on social media its literally framed in a way for the stat to prove how dominant Digital sales are while excluding a number of factors. Doing so would be like comparing Your local Wal-Mart's stock to Amazon.
Not only that, but there are many digital only sales that are held that puts STEEP discounts on games that in-store simply cannot do. Of course there are some games that are on sale in-store that are not on sale digitally, but those digitally only games ALSO go on sale which the retailer has Zero access to because its digital only.
There's also digital incentives where buying the game digitally grants you more content vs buying it in store, driving more sales. Then, there are some games that release digitally, and then have a physical release MONTHS later; or, allow you to play the game a few days early.
If you wanted a more fair comparison? It would be "Digital media with a simultaneous Physical Release vs The Physical Release" Having this stat would reveal the true number. But even THAT number is missing details because that also doesn't include people buying the game second hand/Used from GameStop.
However, while Im sure that stat would STILL benefit digital sales, I would suggest and conclude that it wouldn't be "85%" as many people are suggesting.

gamedev is so terrible rn. Every day you wake up and read a news article that says "xbox filled another successful dev studio office with killer bees and locked the doors" and then some guy in the comments is like "good, no more woke"
