> Sony wants to take away ownership & control the pricing market in Gaming
> Sony puts Crunchyroll merch behind a paywall - you have to pay to be able to pay LMAO
> Sony just deletes movies from customers library
If you call the backlash "hate" just get bent, moron.
Moore's Law Is Dead asegura, tras una investigación, que alguien estaría contratando cuentas bot para impulsar mensajes a favor de Sony tras el anuncio del cese del formato físico en PlayStation.
Descubrió que varias cuentas, que hasta entonces solo publicaban sobre un tema específico, comenzaron de la noche a la mañana a defender la decisión de Sony.
This is actually scary and dystopian...
@BlackRock is the largest non-Japanese external shareholder of @Sony.
@Sony inexplicably ends disc support suddenly, skewing data to support a narrative that is untrue re: physical vs. digital sales.
@BlackRock, the driving force in the "You will own nothing and be happy" movement, is the largest external shareholder of @gamestop.
@gamestop CEO Ryan Cohen publicly "goes along" with Blackrock's agenda by stating discs are "irrelevant" to Gamestop's business. Who the heck is going to Gamestop if there are no games there???
So what will Ryan Cohen get from this compliance with Blackrock's agenda? Especially one that would obviously impact his business at @gamestop so much?
I'm thinking an angel investor deal to finally buy @ebay, as he has wanted to do for some time.
So it looks like another corpo is selling out gamers for a chance at more money.
Adding even more to how crazy this is, MSN was the one reporting Ryan Cohen's remarks on this matter and Blackrock is the second largest shareholder in Microsoft.
This is insane.

Estoy viendo tanto esa tendencia moderna a hacer backups de juegos de PC en discos y tarjetas que no me sorprendería los devs comiencen a sacar versiones físicas oficiales para PC otra vez para el mercado general.
Sería un buen giro a la situación actual en la industria.
What does a digital-only future mean for video games and gamers?🚀
❗️Most store fronts can remove any game at any time for any reason without compensation (Sony itself did that with 500 movies just few weeks ago)
➡️You are paying full price under the presumption of purchase, while you’re basically renting “access” for the price of a purchase, that can be taken at any time
❗️Most physical games can work without downloads, internet or being tied to an ID
➡️Digital-only future forces connectivity with the internet and a digital storefront
❗️~121 countries do not have PlayStation Store dedicated to their country
✅Nearly 64% of the world has no legal/official way to obtain games through PS Store
❗️PlayStation Store has no ability to migrate an account into a different region
✅If you move to another country, and want to use your new local credit card, you won’t be able to use the same store, per their terms conditions
❗️PlayStation has been testing dynamic pricing (different prices for the same product in different areas)
✅When Sony creates a monopoly on games, they can raise prices on a whim, without much competition or alternatives
❗️Different stores for physical video games offer a wide range of pricing/offers, more often than not, less than what is offered on PSN
✅Stores can offer empty boxes with a code on discount, but with ownership and trading/second hand market gone, there won’t be much of an alternative or that big of a difference in pricing, and physical is about more than just buying empty boxes and digital is about the convenience and not going to the store only to get a paper code
❗️Physical games can be traded and resold, and therefore even more convenient pricing
✅Once again, a digital monopoly by Sony will benefit them and negatively impact players
❗️Digital game “purchases” are tied to one account
✅If your account is hacked, banned, lost or moved, you might lose all your games. And when it’s a monopoly, all kinds of new terms can be imposed and they can hold your purchases above their heads and make you comply or lose them
So physical games aren’t just about nostalgia, or a delivery method, it’s about having agency over purchases and not being at the mercy of a digital storefront’s policy and permission
