I mean this respectfully to newer OpTic fans:

Some of y’all are a little spoiled with success and haven’t been around for the dichotomy of dominance and heartbreaks from BO2 to IW Champs and the gap between 2017-2024. There were some dark and awkward times there as a fan so seeing people event remotely call for a roster change for this team is legitimately insane to me. Some of yall don’t know how good we have it right now.

PlayStation is in overdrive this morning posting multiple tweets within an hour, thinking ignoring their fanbase that helped them built their brand is going to fix things.

We will not be silent about the physical media bullshit.

[Ilona 🎮 @LikeToBeBossy]

The petition to save physical PlayStation games has now surpassed 300,000 signatures.

[𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡 #SavePhysicalGaming @Shunkiroth]

Cuarto día consecutivo con Sony bajando sin pausa en bolsa.

Acumulando escándalos, montones de demandas, el descontento global crece cada día de silencio y siguen bajando sin remedio.

El tiempo corre en su contra, TIC TAC. ⌛️

SAVE THE DISC 📀 SAVE VIDEOGAMES

[Third Energy Theorist @FunkOnRepeat]

We'll never stop complaining, dickweeds.

[Does it play? @DoesItPlay1]

To make it 200 % clear: What Sony does will affect everyone. Not just physical fans. Not just gamers. It sets a precedent for the future that every company can get away with exploiting customers due to the lack of legal protection. Make EVERYONE sign this: https://t.co/ZJGO46mfuU

Mainstream media is covering Sony’s predatory push for a digital monopoly🚀

If music still gets released in CD, vinyl and cassette, movies still get released on blu-ray, books still printed on paper, why should games be all digital?

Sony is fabricating a false narrative that no one buys physical games when the Insomniac leak has shown to be false.

Do not fall for this
Do not allow them to discourage and demoralize you into think you have no power

Just few years ago they were bending over backwards over the stupidest things few bloggers cried about regarding gaming

They should listen this time, if you press hard enough

NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

[☠️ Lilith Lovett ☠️ same @ on 💙☁️🦋 @LilithLovett]

Sony announced them killing off physical games with a tweet and a blog post like it was some regular Wednesday, expecting people will be mad for a bit and move on.

And now the backlash has gotten so big it’s being covered by mainstream news outlets.

DON’T LET UP, DON’T SHUT UP.

[Boundary Break @BoundaryBreak]

Mainstream media finally weighing in on this and it's a incredibly pro-consumer toned headline.

That's typically the silver bullet to big business.

[Dallin ※ 👑❤️ @dallin1016]

Mainstream media picking up this story is HUGE

KEEP MAKING NOISE!

MAKE SURE @PlayStation KNOWS

WE. WANT. PHYSICAL. GAMES.

Sony stock keeps sliding 📉🚀

Gamers, keep the pressure on.

Look out for YOUR best interests.
No blind loyalty. No console tribalism.

If physical games matter to you, make your voice heard.

NO DISC 💿 NO BUY ✊

[Bring Back Banjo @BringBackBanjoK]

We should call it what it is. An attempt to monopolise the industry.

Sony are emboldened purely by Microsoft no longer being real competition.

[Gaming Central @GamingCentral26]

The backlash against PlayStation for killing physical games has been relentless, with everything they try to post getting spammed by Community Notes from furious customers.

[NBC News @NBCNews]

Movies still come on Blu-ray, music is still pressed on vinyl and books still fill store shelves. But as Sony moves to phase out physical PlayStation releases, many gamers are asking why video games should be the first major entertainment medium to go all digital. https://t.co/FagoUG3JVU

[Rino🚀 @RinoTheBouncer]

Sony’s stock after their attempt to end physical game media, and their refusal to address the massive pushback situation 10 days later🚀

This is why they wanted you to listen to their sock-puppet media and analysts, meanwhile their own CEO sold his stocks to cash out🤣

NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
Keep up the pressure!

[Gruff Donaar 🌌 VTUBER / BOUNTY HUNTER @gruffdonaar]

Listen up, this is important.

We lost the fight against microtransactions.
We lost the fight against day one patches.
We lost so much of what games used to be.

But we CANNOT lose this fight.

Drop PlayStation IMMEDIATELY. Don’t support this terrible decision.

Scorched Earth.

[Retro Brandon ➡️ Pax West @NovaBran]

This is so well said. 😂

Maybe Sony doesn't realize that:
1. Most of us have a backlog bigger than our life expectancy
2. The jump from PS5 to PS6 is going to feel a lot smaller than previous generations (law of diminishing returns at this point)
3. If they want us to stay engaged, maybe... I don't know... give us games? Good games that don't take 7+ years to make. And maybe bring back some of the creativity and variety that made the PS1–PS3 eras so special.

Sony needs us more than we need them.

They created so much value over the last 30 years that plenty of us have enough incredible games to play for decades. If the future is "$1,000+ digital-only console, fewer games, longer waits, and less ownership," that's not exactly a compelling value proposition.

GG, Sony. Thanks for the memories. 🤣

[Noticias PlayStation @NotiPlay_]

Jason Schreier compartió nueva información sobre el futuro del formato físico en PlayStation:

▫️ Sony considera que su base de jugadores digitales ya es lo suficientemente grande como para prescindir de quienes siguen comprando juegos en formato físico.
▫️ La compañía no cambiará su modelo de distribución minorista: las tiendas seguirán vendiendo cajas, pero estas solo incluirán un código de descarga.
▫️ Actualmente, cuando Sony vende un juego físico First Party a un minorista, este obtiene alrededor del 30% del precio de venta (70 dólares). Con el formato 100% digital, Sony pasaría a quedarse con la totalidad de esos ingresos.
▫️ Como resultado, la empresa espera aumentar de forma significativa sus márgenes de beneficio.

Información adicional de otros reportes:

▫️ Sony estaría convencida de que, con el tiempo, la mayoría de los jugadores terminará aceptando la transición hacia un ecosistema 100% digital.
▫️ La compañía cree que los usuarios seguirán apoyando a PlayStation incluso sin la opción de comprar juegos físicos.
▫️ Además, consideran que no es necesario mantener una comunicación directa con los fans sobre esta decisión, ya que confían en la fortaleza de la marca y en la fidelidad de su comunidad.

So who cancelled their PS Plus subscription?👀
