Yeah man whats the point of buying new console anymore? It stinks.
Absolutely dystopian day for gamers everywhere. Yes, even you who doesn't care about physical games and has a fully digital library.
All this does is funnel everyone into digital storefronts where PlayStation and co. control the pricing operation. You will lose additional options and pay more for games. Look at any nearby storefront's pricing versus what you'd pay for with that very same game on PSN.
This is not about upcoming handhelds or even that digital purchases outweighing physical. It is about maximizing the dollar spent everywhere and cutting out the middle man. Pulling the trigger when PSN isn't even feature complete with things like back compat, gifting games, has major security exploits, etc. is certifiably insane.
In case some people didn’t know. All physical PlayStation games are manufactured by Sony. You have to go through Sony to get your game printed on a disc.
Once PlayStation decides it’s not making discs anymore, it’s all over for physical media on their platform.
Some of you might be in a season where the future feels foggy, maybe even frightening or unknown.
In Jeremiah 29:11, it says, "For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
This verse isn't a promise that everything will go the way you planned; it's a promise that God hasn't lost sight of you.
If you're waiting, wondering, or wrestling, we hope you are reminded today that God is still writing your story.
People who play digitally and don't care have no idea how bad this is for gamers. This is going to end up horribly for consumers. This is a horrible time for gaming and I don't see myself continuing to support this industry if this is the direction it is going from now on.
This is incredibly stupid and I hope people will fight against this crap and stop this. I will say this if they and others continue with this I'm done with console gaming. I will definitely find ways to play on PC and wait for steep sales from other publishers.

Stores won't be able to stock physical games for holiday gifts, buying pre-owned games will be dead and gamefly will no longer be able to lend games anymore so people won't have many options to play games for a cheaper price either. THIS SUCKS.
