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!
@thefranksabre@ConstantGTA You own the game on the disk, and your game isn't locked to an account, so it can be shared or resold.
You can lose access to digital games.
No way this is a large sample size. Regardless, lots of parents out there are like "yes, ban social media!" without realizing that it requires handing over government IDs and/or AI facial scans.
These dystopian mass surveillance laws are HEAVILY opposed.
DO NOT GIVE DISCORD YOUR ID.
DO NOT GIVE DISCORD YOUR ID.
DO NOT GIVE DISCORD YOUR ID.
DO NOT GIVE DISCORD YOUR ID.
DO NOT GIVE DISCORD YOUR ID.
DO NOT GIVE DISCORD YOUR ID.
DO NOT GIVE DISCORD YOUR ID.
Democrats have chosen the global digital ID agenda as a keystone of their 2028 campaign.
Project 2029’s “Kids Over Clicks” plan: ban under-16s, force age verification, gut Section 230.
It's all sold as child protection.
The reality is: passports, face scans, and government ID wallets just to post online.
Australia, UK, EU, UAE, and Saudi Arabia are embracing it.
It kills anonymous speech for everyone.

We just needed 12 more to vote No to stop this trojan-horse bill, because it takes 2/3 to pass under a suspension of the rules.
Too many were afraid to vote against the “KIDS Act” title, or didn’t know what the bill will really do, or just want government to have total control.
IMPORTANT CENSORSHIP NEWS:
After investigation, a User proves that over 120 Major Tech companies are lobbying to pass the "KIDS Act".
Microsoft, Google, Meta, AT&T, and Comcast being big names in support of censoring the internet
Its not about stopping Big Tech, but helping them gain more information about you.
Undoubted PROOF (KIDS ACT) was PAID for by Over 120 major tech, telecom, and media companies 🚨🚨🚨file lobbying occurred on a single bill 2024-2025⚠️⚠️⚠️
⚠️they are not reading it. They are negotiating the text. Lobbying disclosures on a bill mean those companies submitted markups, drafted amendments, met with committee staff, and traded provisions behind closed doors. They bought their way into the drafting room.🚨🚨🚨🚨
This is textbook regulatory capture.🚨🚨
⚠️⚠️It looks like companies funding the bill, hired the lobbyists who drafted the language, working with the legislators who sponsor it, and voting it through before the opposition can read it. The KIDS Act is a consolidated package. H.R. 7757 is the container. S.1409 is the engine. The companies in the screenshot paid for it…
The lobbying database confirms the money trail.

@LORDCOSMOERA@Pirat_Nation People who are too lazy to set up parental controls on the devices they're going to let their children use shouldn't have children.
Parents need to stop being lazy and neglectful.
