Amidst major outrage over the shut down of BioWare and the cancellation of the next Mass Effect, a petition that manages gain more than 100,000 signatures in ~48 hours🚀

I endorse this petition and the movement to restore BioWare and saving the next Mass Effect.

Yesterday, we learned that Canadian politician Avi Lewis is calling for the government to aid and support keeping BioWare open, and go independent with their IPs.

Many are also calling for big entities like Microsoft to step and purchase BioWare and/or Mass Effect.

So let’s #SaveMassEffect!
Let’s support that and NO DISC 💿 NO BUY🫡

@xMBGx There are arguments for why to do all of those, but they’re short sighted.

[John-Patrick @jpjg86]

@RinoTheBouncer They announced this ages ago. I was planning on getting their top line player when I upgrade my tv next year, but, now I have to look for an alternative.

@xMBGx Can’t wait!

Anybody @EE able to tell me why when I’ve had to reset my phone, I can’t reconnect to control my router through the app unless I reset the router to factory settings and set it up again.

Democratic Congressman Ritchie Torres is introducing legislation that aims to ensure you own your digital games, rather than having a license. https://t.co/9wxOWH0tQE

PlayStation has been rumored by @mooreslawisdead to be possibly be using social media bots to defend their plan to end physical media, and now a “study” that seems quite fake, appears to be spreading a lie that many disc supports are bots🚀

✅AI was used to analyze accounts support of PlayStation’s digital-only future

✅Many of them looked suspicious, with recent creation date, AI-generated profile pics, and quite similar patterns in the way they post

✅Ever since we started calling Sony out, and most replies to me that attack me for supporting physical media has been from accounts that are blank with barely any followers, so the theory stands strong that it is Sony that’s using bots to attack physical media supporters

✅Sony is known for lying that physical media isn’t popular, while sales of multiple games including Wolverine, proved the opposite as it sold 35% and 51% physical in the US and Europe, respectively

✅Outrage has been quite strong and gaming media along with mainstream media covered it

✅Many industry figures stood against Sony’s decision to end physical media and reported disdain and resentment within the industry towards Sony

Sony keeps sinking to new lows and seemingly using cheap tactics to push their narrative, the same way they appear to calculate MTX, DLC, digital only and free to play as digital sales to make physical sales appear low

NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

[John-Patrick @jpjg86]

@xMBGx 100% agree.

[John-Patrick @jpjg86]

Why does the @TravelodgeUK app say it has a notification for me when it doesn’t and I can’t dismiss it?

[Pyo 5️⃣ @mrpyo1]

Yeah so apparently overall sales for Wolverine is 35% physical, and 51% physical sales in Europe 🤯

I'm telling you man don't let these companies spin like no one is buying physical games!!!

Some other stats (PS5 sales, worldwide):

- Silent Hill: Townfall: over 45% physical
- The Blood of the Dawnwalker: 36% physical
- Onimusha: 30% physical

[Rino🚀 @RinoTheBouncer]

What are you waiting for, Sony?🚀

✅Physical game sales proved you wrong, including your own Wolverine, selling 51% and 35% physical in Europe and US, respectively

✅Your former CEO and President Shawn Layden, along with many industry legends and analysts called you out and spoke in support of physical media

✅Countless gamers continue to protest on every post and streamer yours

✅Mainstream media and celebrities echoed our concerns and ridiculed your approach

We are not the minority, you are the minority, and your engineered narrative that physical media is niche has been exposed and called out.

👉So overturn your predatory plan to end physical media

👉Reform your management and fire your CEOs and execs and bring people who value gaming and respect their audience

👉Apologize and let us put this behind us and progress with what’s left of this generation and the next with positivity and mutual respect

This message also applies to XBOX

Physical media must be supported, this generation and the next, and for as long as gaming exists:

🎞️Movies and shows still come to Blu-Ray
💿Music still comes to CD & vinyl
📚Books still come in print

And they all sell incredibly well despite the existence of a very convenient and cost effective digital and streaming alternative.

So let’s move on from the greed and lies

Protect physical media!
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

[John-Patrick @jpjg86]

It will be embarrassing, but the brand can recover from the damage you’ve wrought on it. Otherwise #NoDiscNoBuy #NoDiscNoPS6

[John-Patrick @jpjg86]

@Sony seriously, u-turn on this disastrous and self-inflicted wound of killing physical games; drop your ridiculous law suit defence of ‘when people buy a digital game they don’t expect to own it’ - no they don’t expect to own the IP, but they do for that copy they PURCHASE!

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

Physical games are still alive, and PS5 sales show why.

According to industry data Marvel’s Wolverine sold around 2.16 million copies worldwide in September with 35% of those sales were physical copies, while 65% were digital.

In Europe, physical copies actually did even better, making up 51% of sales. That means more than half of the game’s sales in the region came from discs.

Other games are also selling well on disc:

>Silent Hill: Townfall — over 45% physical sales.
>The Blood of Dawnwalker — 36%.
>Onimusha: Way of the Sword — 30%.

These numbers show that plenty of players still like buying physical games, whats sony excuse now

[John-Patrick @jpjg86]

@RinoTheBouncer Fable and God of War Laufey. I actually don’t play GTA because the story is usually very lacking in my experience - but to each their own, I know it’s very popular and I’m in the minority there.

I would like to clarify, I’m only buying God of War Laufey, because it’s on disc.

[John-Patrick @jpjg86]

You can make this right @Sony. Your brand will have took damage, but it’s salvageable if you U-Turn on this.

[VGC @VGC_News]

Sony and Insomniac’s big PS5 exclusive, Marvel’s Wolverine, saw 35% of its launch sales come from the physical disc version, according to sales data. The number was 51% in Europe.

@Pure_PS Which ones, when I purchase them, do I own that specific licensed copy of the games? Or, in other words, which receive a physical print? #NoDiskNoBuy #NoDiscNoPS6
