I need a break from this topic, links:

Sony and Playstation doesn't care about you, they want physical discs gone. They will keep ignoring fans and not care. But there are things they will HAVE TO CARE about:
I have done a lot of research and got help from a lot of people to find out all this info, so please read and try to understand all this. There is no reason to argue with each other, no rage or anything like that will actually do anything. But reading and understanding how things work might:
Right now, a Dutch group is suing Sony for €400 million in the "Fair PlayStation" lawsuit on behalf of 1.7 million gamers.
Their argument is that Sony controls basically all digital game sales on PlayStation and charges a 30% "Sony Tax". According to their research, digital games are around 47% more expensive than physical ones.
Sony’s decision to stop physical disc production in 2028 strengthens their case, because it removes the used game market and leaves gamers with almost no real alternative to Sony’s store.
Even if this Dutch case doesn’t fully win on its own, it still matters. If the court finds Sony is abusing its dominant position, it gives the EU Commission strong evidence to open their own investigation under antitrust rules.
Under EU competition law, the Commission can fine Sony heavily and force remedies so for example by making them allow competing digital stores on PlayStation!
So what can we actually do, since Sony clearly doesn’t care if they lose fans over this?
- If you own a business that will be hurt by this (like a game shop), go to the EU Commission’s competition website and file a Form C. This is an official complaint that forces them to look into how Sony is affecting your business!
- Keep buying physical copies at launch when possible. The more physical sales there are, the harder it is for Sony to claim “nobody wants discs anymore”.
- Sign the “Don’t Kill the Disc” petition on Change org. Big signature numbers are used as proof of consumer harm in these cases. (links under post)
- Support the Stop Killing Games movement. It’s pushing for better consumer rights around game ownership.
Being angry on its own won’t do much. The goal is to create an official paper trail so EU antitrust regulators actually pay attention and take action. This is legit the only way something will change, sony is willing to lose fans over this. Since being all digital for them will be worth it long term!
@JAYGAMING029 It's game time for disc copies. Anything I have digitally (I only buy games digitally if there is no physical, indie etc) still have game time, all of my physical game time is missing, on top of that I've had half my physical games disappear from my trophies and profile.
@SbkABaaaP@TheBoysOOCC If they even remotely follow the comics, Hughie will be the last one standing. In the comics it was Hughie vs Butcher in the final act after Homelander was killed by Black Noir. Considering how much they've deviated from the comics though, don't expect it to play out like this.
@KrowbarG @OrigiGreatness@Cultaholic Within hours? He left the orignal tweet up for over half a day and the poor lady he sent the tweet to had to private her account because of all the hate and harassment she was getting because of him.
And the "apology" was pathetic, completely insincere and most likely forced.
@AnimexTwts Deku is definitely a top contender, when he was given his power he couldn't even use it without severely injuring himself, he had to constantly train and strengthen his body to be able to use it before ultimately defeating the strongest known villain in his universe.
@game_collection Multiplatform shouldn't be in the list, they are taking the place other games and IPs could and should have instead. Fable is a prime example, State of Decay etc. Not saying they should be on the list but they have more of a right to be there than multiplatform games.
@Kyphos_X@MossHead2133@Les_notless2@WrestlePurists He said he was offered a boatload of money to re-sign, they didn't want him to walk away because without him, they can't use the SHIELD but he wasn't in it for the money, he just wanted to wrestle and hated his creative which at the time was terrible so can't blame him tbh.
@londonsssaviour @scenesthatslap Not really, they were having sex in the shower and he threw her up against the wall, it just so happened that unfortunately part of the shower was in the way and she landed on it.
@UponArrivalGame@RinoTheBouncer Glad to see this here as this is my pick outside Clair Obscur. Game is a breath of fresh air and delivers on everything they promised, the exploration & puzzles are fantastic. I just hope we get DLC and (or) a sequel to carry on the story in this amazing world they've built.
@GoldenJoysticks No Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Hades II or Silksong yet Monster Hunter Wilds and Mario Kart World are on here? Was whoever put this list together having a laugh or have you just nominated whoever paid you the most?
@Leverticus@brandojay You're completely forgetting Johnny Yong Bosch. He's a very successful actor, both live action and especially as a voice actor and that's not even counting his musical career.
@TakiOneLove @FirstDescendant I feel your pain, I still need 1 part to complete Deus Ex despite having 1-2 of every other part. I finally got the last part I needed for Shadow yesterday but that needed targeted loot, even with 99% drop chance it still didn't drop until the targeted loot gave it to me at 100%.
@Sir_radington@Papa_Levan@NosoyDavid1 @Miraizen2088 Castlevania is my favourite game series but I still enjoyed the first 4 seasons with Trevor. I agree with you about killing off & changing Dracula but as a complete package it's good.
Nocturne on the other hand? That's a lore & character perverting abomination that needs to die.
@GHShuffle This is another side effect of removing World Match and forcing people into Festivals and this one is even worse with that bloody Minecraft track being an option every time, got it 8 races in a row yesterday at one point, wouldn't buy it even if I wanted it after that.
@spidrzwebz "its not that hard to find minors attractive".
That's a direct quote of your second sentence, it's not hard to see from that why she said that, you literally said it's easy to look at minors and find them attractive ☠️
@blackribbon_25 @AdriWindGB Except with the Festivals you don't, the Hatsune Miku Festival gave 310 tickets total and World Match was disabled during the Festival so there was no way to earn tickets playing the game online for the duration of the Festival which is how many people prefer to play.
@kate_rome_@Sfostertx1@ML3democrats He only left because they chased him out, he burst in mid lecture and started his crap, when some of the students started yelling at him to shut up and leave he wouldn't so they made him.
