Our hearts go out to the Pennsylvania State Trooper killed by a Haitian Illegal Alien truck driver. Mass deportations will prevent this from happening again. Why are we not conducting MASS DEPORTATIONS IN EARNEST?!?! @atutruckers @LauraLoomer @KatieZacharia

[SiKthY @SiKthYEXP]

So yeah I did a little research Remember when @PlayStation announced Ps5 Pro with the separate Disc Drive.

Well guess what that Disc Drive sold out within hours and days of the announcement and demand sparked heavily after the PS5 Pro announcement leaving many online retailers frequently out of stock.

Once again I catch you out again sony.

People wanted Physical disc Drive.

@_Tom_Henderson_ NOT EVEN CLOSE TO GOOD ENOUGH. FUCK OFF @Sony @PlayStation

[MrKelsGame @MrkelsGame]

Bitter Truth: if you’re blaming Sony PlayStation for killing physical games then you blame rockstar too for selling out to this crap… they’re both in it and they knew very well that GTA 6 is big enough to kickstart this nonsense

F them both do not side one of this greedy cooperation.

Sabéis una cosita?? Hablemos de las ventas de Alan Wake 2.

Este juego se anuncio con la etiqueta del “only digital”, de hecho se llego a afirmar desde la compañía que el juego no vería la luz en formato físico jamás.

Las ventas no fueron las esperadas y decidieron recular, el juego llego al formato físico.

Tras un tiempo de esta decisión se anunció el que juego ya cubrió costes de desarrollo y que con cada copia vendida ya daba beneficios.

Un juegazo como Alan Wake 2 necesito de todo el apoyo de los tipos de consumidores para ser rentable y, ojalá, gracias a esto veamos algún día una tercera parte. Pues imaginar juegos mas pequeños aun, si le quitas toda una forma de consumo de videojuegos.

Es el ejemplo perfecto de que ambos tipos de consumo, digital y físico, son necesarios. Que es bueno para los propios juegos, como para nosotros jugadores, que ambos formatos coexistan.

Fin de la reflexión.

PETITION AGAINST SONY HIT OVER 30,000 SIGNATURES IN 48 HOURS.

Yesterday morning it was at 12,000. The backlash isn't cooling - it's compounding.

- It wasn't started by a fan: a game retailer launched it on behalf of the entire physical industry
- Sony's announcement post: 57,000 replies and 55,000 retweets, per Forbes - the biggest PlayStation scandal in 20 years
- Retailers mobilized: GAME launched #GamersUnidos in Spain, GameFly and GameStop issued statements defending physical
- PlayStation itself? Silent on every account for 24+ hours, per Push Square. Even the routine PS Plus post got skipped.

And Sony has folded before: the PS3 Store shutdown in 2021, the Helldivers 2 PSN mandate in 2024. Both reversed after revolts exactly like this one.

In one week, Sony wiped 550 purchased movies, condemned two storefronts, and killed the disc.
Turns out there's exactly one piece of digital content they can't delete.

يبدو أن ضغط اللاعبين بدأ يؤثر على قرارات سوني

رسالة خاصة أُرسلت للشركاء تؤكد أنه حتى بعد يناير 2028 سيظل بإمكانهم إعادة طلب نسخ الأقراص للألعاب الصادرة مسبقًا

الحملة مستمرة واللاعبون يطالبون بالحفاظ على النسخ الفيزيائية 👏🏻

🚨 DESMASCARADA! SONY DISTORCEU DADOS DA MÍDIA FÍSICA PARA OCULTAR VERDADEIRA MOTIVAÇÃO: GANÂNCIA!

Dados vazados do hackeamento da Insomniac Games em dezembro de 2023 (época em que alegadamente a mídia digital já ultrapassava com folga a física nos relatórios fiscais da empresa) DESMENTEM alegação da Sony sobre as proporções entre as mídias em seu recente anúncio sobre o fim dos discos.

📀PROPORÇÃO REAL:
A mídia digital ganhou muito mais força dentro do PlayStation no início da pandemia do COVID, quando passou a superar — teoricamente — os números dos discos na plataforma atingindo uma fatia de 65%. Por volta de 2023, os relatórios de anos fiscais da Sony apontavam que os jogos digitais já ocupavam 70% da proporção, mas nesse mesmo ano a Insomniac Games foi hackeada e dentre os dados vazados estavam números internos da empresa sobre as vendas físicas de seus jogos, revelando a verdadeira proporção a seguir:

Uncharted 4 - 83%📀
Sackboy - 77%📀
R&C Rift Apart - 76% 📀
Ghost of Tsushima DC - 71%📀
Demon's Souls - 70%📀
Miles Morales - 66%📀
Spider-Man - 66%📀
Returnal - 61%📀
The Last of Us 2 - 61%📀
Ghost of Tsushima - 51%📀
MLB The Show 21 - 39%📀

No total da tabela oficial vazada, 31 dos 33 jogos da Sony venderam mais FÍSICO do que digital até então. Recentemente, tivemos o exemplo de Astrobot, que vendeu 55% em formato físico no Reino Unido e 60% na Europa. Além disso, os relatórios da Sony também ignoram um vasto público do mercado de jogos usados que também compram consoles, acessórios, DLC's, serviços etc.

⚠️A PEGADINHA NOS RELATÓRIOS:
Os relatórios apresentam apenas uma visão parcial da realidade. O real problema é que os dados são misturados sem distinção com JOGOS DE SERVIÇO. Jogos live service como Call of Duty, NBA 2K, FIFA etc, têm divisões digitais mais altas, pois são lançados anualmente, impactando severamente na balança.

💰A VERDADEIRA MOTIVAÇÃO:
Em seu último ano fiscal (FY 2025) a Sony faturou mais de 31 BILHÕES em receita e mais de 3 bilhões em lucro em sua divisão de jogos, contando com a mídia física. Então, qual é a real razão em quererem matar a mídia física?

JOGOS THIRD-PARTY:
A Sony ganha 15% em vendas físicas (o resto vai para o publisher e varejista) e 30% no digital.

JOGOS FIRST-PARTY:
70% no formato físico e 100% no digital.

Se fizermos um calculo hipotético com base no relatório do FY 2025, a estimativa de ganho adicional (convertendo todo o físico restante para digital) seria algo em torno de US$ 200 milhões a US$ 1 bilhão por ano em receita/lucro extra, o que representaria um aumento de ~10-30% no lucro operacional do segmento G&NS, mas isso tiraria dos jogadores a propriedade real dos jogos comprados e liberdades que somente a mídia física pode oferecer... E aqui chegamos a conclusão:

LIBERDADE E RESPEITO NÃO TÊM PREÇO!

@AllConsoleFan Wow you’re right. If Rockstar is backing away from you because of all the shit they just pulled, that’s gonna get some people’s attention.

[AjH @insan3_A]

It’s Day 3 of @Sony @PlayStation declaring war on its most loyal customers. CHANGE COURSE OR LIVE THE REST OF YOUR LIFE IN SHAME. And lose a massive chunk of customers in the process. 🖕😠🖕

[Canadian Guy Eh @Canadianguyehh]

Did more digging.

It gets worse.

I decided to compare, isolating the PS5 Platform as a comparison. How many more digital exclusive games are there? and does it correlate with the 85% number?

There are, at this point in time, about 1,120 PRINTED PS5 games (give or take). We are going to assume, that all 1,120 of those games also have a digital counterpart.

I went to the PSN store and simply clicked PS5 Platform and games. So this does not include DLC, MTX, etc. The total? 7,590 games.

But what about free to play?

Lets exclude those, this brings the total down to 7,451 games on the PSN store sorted specifically for the PS5. I want to note, this would be a COMPLETE PS5 library (thus far).

So, simple Math

7,451 - 1,120 = 6,331.

There are 6,331 MORE games on the PSN store than what's PHYSICALLY PRINTED For the PS5. That is 5.65x MORE games. These are all games that sell for 1 dollar, all the way up to your 100$+ digital special editions. If you Buy Final Fantasy Rebirth for 69.99 physically, go home, and buy "Quack McStuffins" for a dollar on PSN, those quantity of numbers are treated as equal.

and it gets even funnier.

Lets take that digital catalogue of 6,331 games and divide it by that complete library number (7,451) and turn it into a percentage.

6,331 divided by 7,451 = 84.96%

Meaning? almost 85% of the PS5's available library is DIGITAL ONLY. Ironic how 85% of Playstation's sales are digital eh?

So, what's happening here?

"All digital" defenders are using False Equivalency, and an Availability bias to gaslight users into thinking that no one plays physical anymore and to "get with the times" in the digital era.

Playstation themselves stated "This is a natural direction for Sony Interactive Entertainment to adapt to consumer trends as the general preference for digital media significantly outpaces physical discs." But this logic is ONLY sound if you apply a False Equivalency.

ALL OF THIS- Before we even take into account of the insomniac leaks back in 2022, which showed that 31 out of the 33 first party games sold MORE in Physical than Digital. And in recent memory, Astrobot selling around 55% physical vs Digital.

So, why are they doing this?

Because MONEY!

Playstation makes WAY more money if you buy the game digitally vs Physically. So playstation is using the backing of convenience, Digital Incentives, indie/AA teams, Mini-Games, and yes, AI Slop, to validate jamming gamers who prefer Physical games with a hot poker into a 100% digital era.
