@ThomasAnde77520 Is it on sale right now? Can I buy it on PSN for $30 at this moment? Or could I go to a store at any point and buy it for that price. I could also buy it used. Can’t do that with PSN, that’s one storefront vs many alternatives. You’re defending Sony taking away other options.

Just imagine the excitement! $1000+ console potentially! Digital only! Back compat for your discs? F* you. Slow release schedule? Sure! Ultra extended cross-gen period? Why not! What a great proposition. I bet it has AI features!

Por primera vez desde que juego videojuegos, siento una desilusión generalizada y 0 emoción por la siguiente generación de consolas. Nos están apretando tanto y arrebatando tantas cosas que es imposible no desanimarse. Desmotivar a tus clientes es lo peor que puedes hacer.

[David Doel @daviddoel]

Still can't get over the fact that Sony announced an end to physical media in the same post they announced the closure of their digital store for older platforms.

Literally justifying the worries people have about a digital-only future within the same post.

@PlayStation Fuck you Sony

@PlayStation

[Does it play? @DoesItPlay1]

@PlayStation You are killing ownership. You are killing legal preservation. You are killing discoverability. You are killing publishers. You are killing developers. This is a move that might slightly improve bottom lines, but tear down every other aspect of this medium. Well done! You f*d up!

55% of Astro Bots sales on PS5 were physical.

More than half.

This year really feels like the end for traditional gaming. Consoles less affordable, layoffs galore and now physical media on PlayStation is dead. Really hard to feel any excitement for any new consoles given this - I'm sure plenty of you don't care, but it matters a lot to me.

[SpawnPoiint @SpawnPoiint]

@PlayStation Guys, this is a really bad decision. Wtf.

[GameVerse @TheGameVerse]

@PlayStation What in the actual fuck are you all doing??!

[Grolsch @_Grolsch_]

@GamewithDave Yes, not played in 30fps for over 6 years, impossible to go back to now. Will wait for next gen consoles if there wasn't a 60fps mode
