PlayStation is probably taking all these bad decisions almost at the same time because they know GTA VI is around the corner. They even made Kojima mad, a Japanese person, especially known for being polite and respectful, especially in public.
They are now taking advantage of GTA to make all these decisions and please investors, when the game launches, everyone, even those who most want to boycott the company, will buy it and this game will be milked for years, so they don’t really care as the investors are happy
The profits it will generate will be astronomical, consoles will sell out everywhere, so I still expect more terrible news like today’s. Just wait.
The current leadership running PlayStation are a complete disgrace and are currently in the process of speed running the brand into the fucking ground.
Consumer Rights Wiki is putting together a list of all the times Sony and PlayStation have said that players “own” their games, including digital games and the list is already pretty long.
They’ve found examples on Sony’s own websites using phrases like “games you own,” “the digital game you already own,” and “owners” when talking about players and their games in their website
This is interesting because Sony is currently arguing in a lawsuit that consumers shouldn’t reasonably believe they actually own their digital games.
So now people are digging through Sony’s own wording to see how often the company itself has used the word “own.”
All of this examples could be used in the lawsuits against sony, could be funny if Sony now start editing and deleting these terms

🚨🚨Make no mistake, this will drastically change the scope of this project. Kojima and Sony made a big deal about PHYSINT drawing heavily on resources from across Sony, including Columbia Pictures, part of SIE’s sister company, Sony Pictures. It was being developed for Sony’s platforms, and I have little doubt it was intended to be a PlayStation 6 exclusive.
The fact that Sony didn’t even hint at finding another internal partner and instead chose to cancel the entire project suggests there’s more going on here than we know.
More details to come no doubt.
I was right.
Playstation crapping the bed harder than Amber Heard:
- Cancels Kojima - Backs Concord
- Cancels Destiny 3 - Backs Marathon
- And oh ya, no Physical Discs - You Own Nothing
Asha is picking up a gem of gaming in Xbox. Yeah, it's a niche gem, but the games are well respected and loved.
Sony just keeps making all the wrong choices.
Today, we are excited to confirm that our journey with PHYSINT continues with Asha(@asha_shar) and the team at XBOX.
XBOX understands and shares our bold creative vision, and this expands our relationship with XBOX beyond OD. As we move forward with the development of PHYSINT, we remain committed to redefining the action-espionage genre for players around the world.

Quick summary regarding Hideo Kojima and PHYSINT:
Kojima Productions has unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would be cancelling the PHYSINT project.
Xbox has now stepped in and entered a partnership with Kojima Productions.
Hideo Kojima has reassured fans that the game is still happening, so there’s no need to worry about PHYSINT.
What makes this even crazier is that PlayStation heavily pushed and marketed the project in the first place.
What a massive L for PlayStation. I’m really curious to see what else comes to light about what happened behind the scenes. I’m also pretty sure Kojima is a big supporter of physical media.
Congrats to Xbox that’s a MASSIVE get.
Playstation 2026:
- They closed down amazing good studios
- Confirmed physical media will die out in 2028
- Made extremely bad decisions like Destiny 3
- Now the cancel Kojimas game...
Xbox needs to win against Sony the ps6 gen bruh 💀. Playstation needs to be humbled bad man
As confirmed earlier through our official channels, in mid-June of this year, we unexpectedly received notice from PlayStation Studios that they would cancel the PHYSINT project. PHYSINT is an important project both to me personally and to KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS. Determined to keep the project alive, we have spent the last three months searching tirelessly for a new partner. In the course of seeking advice and pursuing negotiations with people across many fields, we found in XBOX a partner with whom we share a common vision for the future, and we have decided to team up with them once again. Please rest assured that development of PHYSINT, our genre-defining action-espionage title, is ongoing and will continue moving forward.
