Playstation is so desperate for good PR that they've called in the Game Journalists to defend them because literally nobody else will, not even console fanboys. Pathetic.
"Digital future in gaming is inevitable. It was going to happen sooner or later."
Says who? WHO? It hasn't happened anywhere else. Movies, music, books... are still being sold physically.
It's a stupid (and false) narrative fueled by corporate greed. As simple as that.
@RenOperative_@Thorzilla Sony is content to stay silent, and they willfully trot their indie partners out in front of vitriol that they themselves invited, and they're happy to do it because indie devs catching flak makes the protestors look unreasonable. This is textbook narrative control.
Fans, Sony has reportedly spent money on bots and grifters to deter you from talking about physical games. They want to discredit your voice. They told you they will ignore you.
Is this how a company are supposed to treat their fans? Read the bottom two bullets points
Bravo, Sony, for helping transform gaming from a shared culture into a solitary rental service. Nothing builds community quite like locked licenses, no trading, no midnight meetups, & no passing a favourite game to a friend. Truly revolutionary: making a social hobby less social.

Curved section at ground level center is The Vortex. The signature show scene of just-out-of-reach high-speed water swirling around your passage.
A company that uses bots to counteract a boycott and uses small indie companies as “digital human shields” to block all the negative feedback it is receiving deserves nothing less than a complete and total collapse.
You cannot hate @Sony enough.

Yes, the software is called LG OnScreen Control Plus. it runs silently in the background. it tracks which applications you use, when you use them, and how long. it phones home to LG servers. it cannot be uninstalled through normal means without leaving registry traces.
gamers noticed because some anti-cheat systems flagged it as suspicious software. the monitor was getting people banned from games.
now the TV side:
LG also updated its webOS terms of service. if you use the AI voice features on your LG TV, the company says you may need to inform guests in your home that conversations could be recorded.
not LG informing your guests.
you. the homeowner. legally responsible for notifying anyone who walks into your living room that the television is listening.
LG built a surveillance device. sold it to you. and made the disclosure your legal problem.
so to recap what LG shipped this year:
a monitor that installs tracking software on your PC without asking.
a TV that records conversations in your home and requires you to warn your guests.
both devices look exactly like a monitor and a TV.
neither one tells you what it actually is at the point of sale.
you found out when your game banned you.
or when you read the terms.

534 days. ⏳Physical games don't just support players— they support thousands of independent game stores around the world.
Behind every independent game store are real people, real jobs, and real families. The end of physical games affects far more than what's on our shelves.
@PlayStation@Sony Don't leave us behind 💿
If we don't make a stand now, it's over! Plain and simple.
Sony attacks a core element of video game culture by killing physical media. It will hurt retailers, creators, media, developers, loyal fans, and casual players alike. Nobody wins!
Which side of history will you be on?
Confirmation that the new Halo release is the expected coaster. Needs a download to start AND won't let you play without an additional login even after.
A Twitter user was so kind as to share these insights from an early PS5 Collector's Edition copy with us.
@DisTouristBlog Said it before, will say it again: Enchantment is a good show but is a beat-for-beat copy of HEA with weaker songs because HEA used all the best ones. When not compared to HEA, Enchantment is a better show than most give credit for.
Guys, I am stepping away from politics for a while.
The gamers are in need of me to help them crusade against Sony and Playstation.
To stand up for whats right and against the evils of which they are doing.
If you wish to join me, I would love to have you at my side in this fight.
I don't care about the disagreements some of us may have, I don't care who hates who right now.
This is a time for all gamers to set aside all our differences for a greater cause.
Because right now, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
And @Sony@PlayStation is our enemy.
They are #1 most wanted on the blacklist.

Reminder that this photo was taken in 2006 (five years after the console launched) when retailers were having a fire sale with their GameCube stock because the Wii was completely backwards compatible with it (people forget that the Wii even had GameCube controller ports) and no one would buy a GameCube when they could get a Wii that would play all the new games and their entire GameCube library.
