REPORT: Jason Schreier on PlayStation’s decision to end physical game media🚀
✅Sony considers their digital player base is large enough to do without those who continue wanting physical discs
✅They won’t change their retail distribution
✅Stores sell empty boxes with only download code
✅They’re convinced that over time, players will accept a 100% digital gaming future
✅They don’t think it’s necessary to maintain contact with fans
✅They trust the strength of their brand and the loyalty of their community, and imagine they will continue to support their digital games
Regarding profitability:
✅When Sony sells a first party physical game to a retailer, the retailer gets around ~30% of the sale price
✅Digital helps them keep 100% of it
✅They expect to significantly increase their profit margins
This is absolutely disgraceful to read if true. I’m genuinely repulsed by Sony💿
@Inevitablewest Imagine actually putting your support on the side of the illegal terrorist who just stabbed 2 people instead of the police who are protecting the public from a knife wielding terrorist.
