Pittsburgh Penguins and Chelsea FC fan; RIP Luna & Rhea, I miss you both so much 💔

[Rick D @Butch4969]

So this is a couple weeks late, but I'm excited to say I've joined Alex @A_droSegovia, Joe @Joseph_La_Russa, and Paul @DorkofArt on the X-Button Podcast in alternating weeks. Also doing a weekly Last of Us Season 2 Review/Spoilercast with Alex.

Let's go USA!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸⚽⚽⚽

@mikeszekely 100% in no way am I anything but sympathetic to the people who lost their jobs. I just cannot blame her for having to fix what he messed up

[Rick D @Butch4969]

Is it even a debate any longer that Phil Spencer is the worst leader Xbox ever had? What Asha is doing is brutal, but she's being transparent about how necessary it is. Phil left Xbox in complete fucking shambles. And Sarah Bond thought she was owed that position lol GTFO loser

[Rick D @Butch4969]

@TheMuff1nMon It's so frustrating that for years, many of us would say this only to be rebutted with "they make their money, Phil told us so!" and these few years later, everything we tried to say as a caution to the over reliance on GP has fully come to pass. More to it obv, but char limit

[Rick D @Butch4969]

@mikeszekely I read this and was like yeah I agree... Wait your car? Then realized you meant cat so I agree again lol I'm tired of this fireworks for a week after bullshit we deal with every year now

[Rick D @Butch4969]

@PlayStation Of course, after thinking about it, the only PS5 exclusive Sony games that I think I'd be all that bummed to miss out on are Yotei, Laufey, and Intergalactic, and 2 of those aren't even out yet so I'm just guessing (although I'm confident I will like them both a lot). Fuck PS.

[Rick D @Butch4969]

We are 3 days removed from the news and I'm not one ounce removed from my major fuck @PlayStation stance. I will stick with PS5 as I already have so much there, but I refuse to get a PS6 as it currently stands. Hope it was worth it, Nishino and Hulst. Fucking assholes. 🖕🖕🖕

PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND:

We have to talk about the physical vs digital data, A LOT of people still buy Physical games on PS5.
More than you think, like WAY MORE! Please read and understand what Sony is doing it trying to FORCE DIGITAL games! IMO this should not even be legal:

- FY2025 Full Year (Apr 2025 – Mar 2026) = the digital to physical split was 78%/22%.
But this does NOT tell the whole story. Because this is all games sold, not all games that have physical copies and digital! So majority of the 78/22 split don't even have physical, let's look at some real numbers from leaks and stats we have:

From Insomniac Leak:

- God of War Ragnarök: 76% Physical / 24% Digital
- Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga: 63% Physical / 37% Digital
- Astro Bot: 55% Physical / 45% Digital
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: 54% Physical / 46% Digital
- Assassin's Creed Mirage: 49% Physical / 51% Digital
- Resident Evil 4 Remake: 45% Physical / 55% Digital
- Hogwarts Legacy: 44% Physical / 56% Digital
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor: 40% Physical / 60% Digital

UK / Europe Retail Data (GSD – 2023/2024):

- Astro Bot: 55% Physical (UK) / and 60% Physical (Europe) – 2024
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2: 54% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Assassin's Creed Mirage: 49% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Hogwarts Legacy: 45% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Resident Evil 4 Remake: 45% Physical (UK) – 2023
- Horizon Forbidden West: 51% Physical (UK) – 2022

People still buy a lot of physical games on PS5, especially when it's SINGLE PLAYER GAMES. When it's more mp then it goes down to more digital. But please don't just listen to the 78%/22% split, those numbers are overall numbers and don't represent the full story AS YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE!

Because it's not a fair comparison since all games don't have a physical copy or eventually stop printing it. They are trying to paint a narrative to control prices and take ownership from you, that is the truth and spread it!

[Rick D @Butch4969]

@mikeszekely And a month after it came out about Colin Moriarty completely losing access to his account (it was fixed a day or so later but he has contacts most others don't have to get this kinda thing fixed).

[Rick D @Butch4969]

Fuck PlayStation. Fuck Xbox. This industry is destroyed by complete morons running the show now

[Rick D @Butch4969]

@mikeszekely I know you don't much care about consoles or physical releases anymore, but I sure as shit do. Or at least did. And I find the forced removal of the option of physical to be completely unacceptable and a slap in the face of their longest fans. I'm probably done with gaming soon.

[Rick D @Butch4969]

@mikeszekely I hope they're both stupid enough to try to release their shit in the next couple years and charge $1500+ for them, and suffer billions in losses. MS can obviously weather that, but Sony couldn't.

[Rick D @Butch4969]

@PlayStation It's incredible how desperately PlayStation and Xbox are both trying to kill this hobby. No reason for this. Get fucked assholes.

[Paweł Sasko @PaweSasko]

June 29th, first look at Edgerunners II 😌

[Rick D @Butch4969]

@splitend89 I think I'm something like

2. Blood of Dawnwalker
3 Control Resonant
4. Gears E-Day
5. Phantom Blade 0
6. Halo Campaign Evolved
7. Onimusha
8. Silent Hill Townfall
9. Final Fantasy Resonance

Many others but those are the biggest haha

[Rick D @Butch4969]

My all time favorite player and perhaps the most underrated (relatively speaking) player of all time.

[Pittsburgh Penguins @penguins]

After winning two Stanley Cups with the Penguins, Ron Francis is back with the organization as Special Advisor, Hockey Operations.

@splitend89 @geoffkeighley That's awesome man, congrats! I'm hoping to make the trek next year. We're a couple of nobodies but here's hoping 🤞

[Rick D @Butch4969]

@TheMuff1nMon 💀💀💀

[Rick D @Butch4969]

Have you tried the demo to #Duskfade @TheMuff1nMon ? What did you think if so? I'm asking Klint to see if he can get a review code, I'd like to maybe try to do one. No contacts though so I'm not sure how that'll work lol

[Rick D @Butch4969]

It really is unfathomable how incompetent of leaders Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond were. And every time you think jeez they were bad, you find out later it was way worse than you thought. And certain "content creators" tried to gaslight everyone on their behalf. Shambolic nonsense.
