We own nothing. We own a PS download code. a Spotify subscription, a Netflix password, an MS Office license. Corporations are keeping all the power and they will weaponize it when the time is right.
Internet down? Fuck you
Server issues? Fuck you
Finished a game and want to sell or trade it in? Fuck you
You will own nothing
We will keep raising game prices
We will raise PS Plus prices
PlayStation - Play Has Limits, and fuck you.
People don’t realize how much this could change the gaming market.
When physical games disappear, it doesn’t just affect collectors. It affects the entire ecosystem around gaming.
Retro game stores? Many of them survive because people still buy, sell, and trade physical games. As physical media declines, some of those stores will have a much harder time staying open.
Collector’s Editions? If everything becomes digital, what’s the incentive? Are people really going to spend $200+ for a few digital cosmetics and a downloadable license? A huge part of what made those editions special was owning something tangible.
And don’t think retro prices won’t be affected. As fewer physical games are produced, the older ones become even more desirable. Supply goes down, demand goes up, and prices climb even higher.
This isn’t just about preferring discs over downloads. It’s about ownership, preservation, accessibility, local game stores, collectors, and the future of gaming as a whole.
There’s so much more at stake than people realize, and I don’t think the long term impact is good. #supportphysicalmedia
This is just my opinion but I personally don't think McGlynn should be anywhere near the Scotland job. This would be a very comfy, safe and cheap appointment for SFA. Mad how many folk I've seen saying they'd be happy with him. Hope I'm wrong but not for me...
@scotball_ Some (not all) relatively uninspiring names being touted so far but we need to be realistic as well in terms of who would actually want it. The likes of McGlynn, Naismith etc would be classic SFA appointments but I personally dont think they'd be right managers to take us forward
While a fresh chapter for Scotland is most certainly needed at this point.
Serbia, Spain, Norway, Denmark.
Moments that will never be forgotten.
All the best, Steve 🏴
