New handle!

[Chronos (They/Them) 📚⌛ @ChronosMemoria]

This... Is absolutely horrifying...

[Shruti @heyshrutimishra]

WTF

AI companies are purchasing large quantities of used and rare books. Scanning their contents to train models. Then turning the originals to pulp.

The sum of human thought, digitized and shredded.

Every book that gets scanned disappears from the physical world permanently. The knowledge survives only as training data inside a system no one can hold, browse, or resell.

What used to sit on a shelf for centuries now exists as weights in a model that might get deprecated next quarter.

🌟 Bienvenido a la familia (de nuevo) 🌟

Me vuelto a comprar la trilogía de Spyro porque la versión que yo tenía solo traía el primer juego en el disco y los otros dos descargables, la reeditada en 2019 incluía los 3 juegos en disco y la actualización 1.03 también dentro.

La mejor forma para comprobarlo es que en el propio disco ponga 2019 en lugar de 2018.

@timbihhtz !! I fucking love this

@8biteric I didn't

[Chronos (They/Them) 📚⌛ @ChronosMemoria]

@evercaderetro Honestly found the price discrepancy between normal and Giga carts to be a bit strange. Parity between them makes sense, the manufacturing of them should be close to identical. So thank you for not raising the price of those.

@NotiPlay_ They're in complete denial, wow

It’s kind of freeing to accept that I’m not going to buy a PS6 or try to buy every new game. I’ve always felt a bit of guilt buying new games when I have so many I haven’t played yet. From 2028, my backlog is my focus. There are so many games I have that I haven’t played, like Mass Effect 1, Bioshock 2, Portal 2, Assassins Creed: Odyssey, Final Fantasy XIII-3, Far Cry 6, Concrete Genie, The Last Guardian, Borderlands the presequel, Fallout New Vegas, LA Noire, Watchdogs, and so many more!

(My shelves are very disorganised, I know!)

I write these words with tears in my eyes.

Sony's decision feels as though someone had declared that, from this day forward, no physical books would ever be printed again, and no paintings would ever exist beyond the digital realm. To me, video games are not merely entertainment—they are an essential part of my life, a piece of who I am. Without physical editions, especially after witnessing so many studio closures, it feels as though a profound emptiness has opened within me.

I scarcely know what to say. All I know is that I am deeply saddened.

With all my heart, I hope there will still be companies willing to release games on physical media beyond 2028, preserving not only the games themselves, but the tangible legacy and artistry they represent.

@_ToastedBrioche @JSTONEOWNS1 im not quitting gaming ill just be focusing 100% on retro gaming now.

[Jordan@PhysicalParadise @SoWhatAboutGame]

There has to be a video game crash. There HAS to be.
- Digital-only route
- Digital content being removed from accounts
- $1000 consoles
- Subscription-focus
- 10 year game dev cycles
- layoffs
- studio closures
- even small indie game studios face closure
- AI slop-filled digital stores

Gaming got too big, too mainstream, too exploitable, executives got too greedy.

This hobby has become a hellish nightmare.

Surely we are at the bursting point?

[Evercade @evercaderetro]

Evercade has over 700 games across 80+ cartridges, but we know there's always that one cart that stays close to your Evercade console...

What cart is it?

[Chronos (They/Them) 📚⌛ @ChronosMemoria]

A lot of video games were released since 1972, I don't really need to get new games if they stop making them. I think I'm set for life tbh. A video game crash is long overdue anyway.

[Chronos (They/Them) 📚⌛ @ChronosMemoria]

This is a bit outdated, but you get the point... @PlayStation, you won't have me as a customer once you stop producing discs.

[Trevor Noah @Trevornoah]

I completely understand where you’re coming from, but for a lot of gamers physical discs are the only way they could afford to play games because they could get them secondhand. You can also give games to your younger siblings Which is a great way to introduce them to the games you were playing.

Most importantly though, as we saw from PlayStation this past week, if the media we buy is only digital, it can be taken away from us at a moment’s notice with no recourse. Imagine that, one day your entire library of games could be deleted overnight because technically you don’t own it.
