DON’T BE SILENT!
- Don’t outrage because it’s trendy and forget about it in a week
- Don’t believe SONY’s digital sales figures sales pitch
- Don’t relinquish your buying freedom or how you choose to play
#PhysicalDisc
If a company can revoke access to something you paid for… they should be required to refund you.
Ownership shouldn’t disappear because a license changed.
@PlayStation They will try to ignore it as long as possible and then wonder why everything goes downhill. And then they will fire entire studios and cut here and there to suck their shareholders’ dicks… it’s not about you and me, the gamers - it’s about maximizing profit and gain more money.
SONY.
WE BOUGHT THE CONSOLES.
WE BOUGHT THE GAMES.
WE BUILT THE INDUSTRY.
PHYSICAL MEDIA IS NOT OBSOLETE.
OWNERSHIP IS NOT OBSOLETE.
NO DISC.
NO BUY.
PHYSICAL MEDIA MUST STAY.

They didn't kill physical media. They stopped pretending you ever owned anything.
Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.
You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.
Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:
“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”
The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.
