The more I see about these corporations having massive layoffs each year, makes me wonder if anybody would even bother ever working with companies such as Microsoft, and so on.

Especially considering as you’re hired, they’d make you sign some form of NDA whereby you can’t go bitching as to why you were laid off in the first place.

Really sick of witnessing anti-capitalist corporate greed consuming America’s economy… It’s beyond sinful and malicious!

And ultimately..

In my perfect world we get this hype for Destiny 3 and Marathon releasing back to back in August 2025.

I have to hope these vibes will be felt again.

Even Grace Ashcroft is pissed off at this shit

[Noir 浮世 @madcap412]

During the month of June:

- Homophobic insults dominated social media

- Corporations did not change their profile pictures

- The World Cup discourse got super racist

- All gay and diverse devs at Bungie and Xbox got notice of layoffs and are now headed to McDonald's

- The videogame showcase season happened, and GOW Laufey was the most hated one, while everybody loved RE Veronica, Stellar Blade Blood Rain, and Asian games with hot females

- Marvel Rivals revealed back-to-back skins of sexualized blondes

- Supergirl was completely rejected and hated by everyone and is gonna lose over $100 million for the studio

- The focus was on the 250th anniversary of America instead of gay shit

This was easily the best month of June of the 2020's so far 🔥

Sounds like someone's jealous because Pitt's still starring in summer blockbusters while she hasn't been commercially relevant in about 20 years.

My Feed has been this ALL DAY

Looks like the world has turned against Sony

I like this guy. I like him a lot.

A decade ago it was all about creating value and trust to gain customers.

Today, it's about fucking you as hard as they can.

If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't theft.

[Nerdrotic @Nerdrotics]

It's old and still correct.

Physical media is non-negotiable for me @PlayStation

Bye… #Playstation 👋

Physical discs have become download prompts these days, anyway.

It was obvious this was where we were going and it fucking sucks.

First time they sold collectors editions without discs we knew it was nearly over.

[RONIN714 💿💿💿 @TheLastRonin714]

Sony killed physical games because ownership gets in the way of control. A disc is yours and they don’t like that. They didn’t sell us the future of gaming. They sold us permission to play. If buying a game doesn’t mean owning it, then “buy” has lost its meaning.

Unbelievable tweet

RIP.

They just killed physical games, because they don't want you to own anything.

- Sony is done making discs.
- Next XBOX won't even have a drive.

They'll cut all the printing, packaging, and shipping costs, but still charge us $70+ for a download.

"Consumer preferences are changing" is BS. This is about removing the only leverage we gamers have left.

Think about it. Right now if a digital game is $70, you have options:
- check local retailers
- buy a used copy on eBay
- borrow it from a friend

Physical retail creates competition. It forces PlayStation and Xbox to run sales to compete with the used market.

Once the disc drive dies, that competition will die with it. They will own 100% of the distribution pipeline.

If they want a 4-yo game to stay at $70, it stays at $70. Zero alternatives. It’s literally a total monopoly, but they're selling it to us as "convenience"

And don't even get me started on game preservation.

When we buy digital, we're just renting a temporary license until some corporate spreadsheet decides the server costs aren't worth it anymore. We already know the PS3 and Vita stores are on death row.

PC is starting to look like the only place left where we actually have choices.

Yeah it's 100% digital too but at least Steam, Epic, and GOG have to compete with each other.

On console we're just trapped...
