I was going to get it on PS5, PC, and Switch 2 on day one, but now that I know it won't get a fully physical release on at least one of those platforms, Iโm just going to wait and buy a used copy (not brand new) for dirt cheap on either PS5 or Switch 2 whichever is cheaper. Sure, Iโll have to wait some time, but Iโm not directly supporting this. This was one of the few games I still wanted to be fully on disc.
I miss the old days when I could just pick up a game that looked cool and enjoy it without having to think about what anti-consumer practices, organizations or political ideology my money might support, directly or indirectly. It's exhausting.
Iโm replaying Ocarina of Time and just made it to the Forest Temple. The music still gives me chills every time. I canโt wait to hear the remakeโs version

Iโm not getting the PS6. If Sony drops physical media, thereโs no real reason for me to buy one- that's been their only advantage in my opinion, but with most games now releasing across multiple platforms Iโd rather play them on PC with better visual quality. Iโve never been much of an Xbox fan either. Iโll always buy new Nintendo consoles, but going forward Iโll likely stick with PC as my main platform and retro gaming.
Don't get me wrong, I donโt really have anything against digital games in general. I just didnโt appreciate being guilt tripped for choosing not to buy something based on my own preferences. FF7 is one of the few games I still wanted to own entirely physically. If Square Enix canโt meet that standard, they wonโt get my money. Unless someone gifts it to me or I find it secondhand (not brand new) for dirt cheap, I wonโt be getting the game.
