More reports why Sony is trying to end physical discs:
- They want to cut out the middle man, to make more profit per sale (like remove walmart cuts etc)
- Sony thinks the fanbase will not switch platforms, they can do what they please without losing fans
- They are convinced by ignoring this issue, they fans will just accept the changes and convert to 100% digital with time.
- Sony thinks they are "too big to have commination with fans". Talking to fans has no margin benefit, so they refuse to address fans and will keep doing so
I have lost all trust and goodwill with PlayStation, no words what is happening right now. Horrible company
According to Sony and many publishers, you don’t own your disc, you never did. Their terms can still restrict access or revoke licenses.
That’s why we fight for consumer law: physical media was one of the last limits on this control.
You will own nothing and be happy.
So what we've learned is Sony was and is banking on Xbox's layoffs to take the heat away from them. That's why they made these announcements when they did. While people were upset with Xbox, and the industry as a whole, they wanted to announce:
➔ No more physical discs for new games
➔ PERMANENTLY lose your entire account, games, everything after 36 months of inactivity
➔ Closing the PS3 and PS Vita Stores
➔ Losing hundreds of movies users paid for with no reimbursement
Literally, they're banking on others hurting you more so they can try to get away with some of the worst, most anti-consumer policies like ever
While you were getting beaten and stabbed, Sony decided it was a good time to come in and steal your wallet—and think you wouldn't notice
Stupid people think it’s a patriotic song because it says “born in the USA.”
Midwits who think they’re smart say NOOOO! IT’S NOT A PATRIOTIC SONG BECAUSE IT CRITICIZES AMERICA!
*Actual* smart people say no, it *is* a patriotic song *because* it criticizes America.
There is perhaps no higher form of patriotism than criticizing your country because you want it/her to do better.
so the government is planning MANDATORY CHANGES to how content is discovered on YouTube in the UK.
- they want YouTube to prioritise mainstream broadcasters like BBC, ITV and Channel 4 over user created content with a 'prominence regime'
this is absolutely insane and is going to severely affect everyone british youtuber should this go through. YouTube have started a campaign to fight this, but we need your help to ensure this doesn't go through like this, since this could RUIN the site
What Max is alluding to here, is that the current administration has virtually no consumer protections operation whatsoever, and that's by design, to be as business friendly as possible.
There's also the fact that the Supreme Court is extremely corporate friendly.
So there's no legal avenue in the United States to realistically challenge Sony, or any large multibillion dollar firm.
This is all of a result of our current trend in electoral politics. Who we vote into office matters, and there are downstream effects that you wouldn't normally connect that flow out of who controls the American government.
I know a LOT of people have varied opinions on Max Dood, but on this point, he's actually right.
