Okay so hear me out🚀
There are two narratives:
✅PlayStation is ending physical discs because they’re too expensive to make and there’s little demand
✅Digital video games are priced the same as physical games because manufacturing costs are “negligible”
Which one is it? Is making games on discs too expensive that digital games could’ve been sold for way less? Or is the cost of making discs negligible so we can afford to keep having physical games even if 5% only buy physical discs?🤣
NO DISC. NO BUY💿
Reasons why we can't have a digital future for PS6, from a logical standpoint:
- Sony security is bad, one of the biggest PS podcasters Colin Moriarty lost his account even with 2FA because someone contacted SONY support and changed his email from the backend (he got it back).
- You don't own the games at all, unlike a disc with data on it, even non patched it works.
- Prices digital in majority of places are way more expensive over physical (even with new releases) = Monopoly
- Sony can take away the game share we have today, Nintendo did it from switch 1 to switch 2.
No matter what, physical always needs to be an option. Movies, series and music STILL HAVE IT TODAY!
You will not own your apartment, your home, your car, your entertainment, your music, your games, your music, your shows. You will rent and you will like it.
We've gotta wake up to the fact that the profit motive doesn't demand quality, it demands the death of ownership.
Refuting dumb arguments against physical games🚀
🗣️“85% of players buy digital”
✅15% or even 5% in this industry is still millions of people bringing in hundreds of millions of not billions o revenue
🗣️“Netflix and Spotify ended movie and music Blu-Rays and CDs”
✅Movies are still being sold on Blu-Ray and 4K UHD Blu-Rays, and music is still released on CDs, vinyl records and even collectible cassette tapes that actually work, despite being far smaller and less demanding than video games which can go over 100GB
🗣️“I haven’t bought a physical game for 10 years! It’s obsolete”
✅Your experience with games does not automatically reflect everyone else’s. If you don’t care, don’t get in the way
🗣️“It’s expensive to make games on disc”
✅Games won’t be cheaper when man all digital. You will pay the same price for a glorified rental that can be taken any time due to licensing agreements or account loss/suspension
🗣️“You’re too broke, you want to buy second hand and resell games”
✅Being a bootlicker to corporations that don’t know you exist, does not make you any less broke than those you accuse and posture in front of behind a keyboard
Physical games should always be an option. Video games are far more than just a file to download or “access” to gain. They hold sentimental value to players and collectors.
Raise your voices, players, game makers, gaming and memorabilia stores. Let us overturn this predatory decision!
Video games are an art form, not just a business and the value players hold for them should be honored and not reduced to a code to redeem and a download to revoke😎
