I bought FFVII Remake, and I bought FFVII Rebirth. If @SquareEnix follows through with this, I will NOT buy FFVII Revelation. No Discs, No Buy.

RE Final Fantasy VII Revelation, we are going to be a little less formal today.

You absolute numpties! A full trilogy epic and you royally fuck up the finale. Disgusting!

@playasia No disc no buy

#PSBlackout Stage 1 completed!

We would like to thank everyone who helped spread the idea and took part.

Now the fight for a better gaming world continues. And we need to stand united!

PlayStation's plans set a dangerous precedent. If they go all-digital, others will follow. This will affect us all, regardless of whether you earn a living with games or just play them. Regardless of where you play or how you purchase your games.

You will lose the only form of ownership on console. The only legal form of preservation. Trade conventions/fairs will eventually die. Retailers will lose sales and close. Developers lose additional revenue and discoverability. Without physical and second hand price competition dwindles. Price hikes and fewer sales will be the new norm, pricing some people out of the hobby entirely.

And what you will pay exorbitant sums for, is not even yours to keep. Without customer protection laws everything you buy can be stripped from you at a whim. As you can witness today when over 500 Studio Canal movies get erased from people's libraries without any repercussions. What do you think happens to Wolverine when Sony and Marvel eventually part ways?

That is why we need to fight two battles at once!

We need to protect physical games as an option. For preservation, for the experience, for a healthy market, and to keep our hands on what we bought.

We need to push for better customer rights in the digital space. Actual ownership & end-of-life plans, so games don't just disappear, when a publisher ends support.

Support us! Support initiatives like Stop Killing Games! Speak to your local customer protection agencies and local politicians tasked with taking care of these topics!

Continue to make your voices heard online. The minimum requirement for the blackout has been reached. But many continue to do it. Others did their part and return to play for now. Regardless of which you are, there will be more chances in the future to take action again. Thank you all once more for standing up together. Let's continue to raise awareness and get more people on board!

@XBOX Whatever is physical and/or DRM-free on a platform that respects art, preservation and customer rights.

@MarvelSnapBugle If they had normal draft and then LTGM draft Sanctum I think this would be OK.

Don’t believe the rumors!

We’ve seen the reports claiming Sony is considering delaying its digital-only plans.

This is NOT true — at least not based on anything officially confirmed by Sony or anything our sources are telling us.

Don’t let rumors become reality before the companies themselves have said anything.

We’ll keep fighting for physical gaming regardless of what the rumors say.

NO DISC 💿NO BUY

@Beluba Did you take out for account for all the zen users?

[Chai The Border Pitt @macrobov]

Right, because when a consumer goes and buys a Toyota Prius today, no one can ever buy a Toyota Prius ever again, unless it's a license.

[Stephen Totilo @stephentotilo]

Here's that argument, from Sony's lawyers...

(SPLA = the Software Product Licensing Agreement that mentions, about 500 words, in that "The Software is licensed to you, not sold.")

@MaxSparky @Azezazel I was going to say this... Even though I pre-ordered Witcher 3 and got the wolf medallion keychain.

[Chai The Border Pitt @macrobov]

@wedontcarebruh @softdrinktv Thank God for modders.

After 30+ years, Terranigma is finally receiving an official US release. This great SNES action RPG classic is getting a modern re-release for consoles and PC, both digitally and physically.

Think about that. A game that spent decades unavailable physically in North America can now be preserved on a physical release and kept on shelves and in collections forever. 💿❤️

This is why physical matters.

Games deserve to be preserved. Games deserve to be owned.

@Sony @PlayStation, even you tweeted the news. Can’t you see that digital and physical can—and should—coexist?

#PSBlackout DAY 3!

Purchasing habits never mattered for Sony, only your money did. That's where to hit them. Don't buy. Don't subscribe. Don't even share your payment info. Show Sony what abandoning loyal fans means. Stay clear until they change!

[Chai The Border Pitt @macrobov]

@NBA2KLab Simpler explanation: It's a way for 2k to get you to spend more money on a new build because it doesn't do what you want with build you have now.

@softdrinktv Are you kidding? This move gets the Browns to the Arch Manning sweepstakes win.

[Chai The Border Pitt @macrobov]

There's a lot of great games on the PS2, but my personal favorite is Disgaea Hour of Darkness. When I purchased it, I knew nothing about it and was intrigued merely by the name and that it was an RPG. Boy was I glad that took that risk. #PlaystationBlackout #SavePhysicalGaming

@Beluba I would like to have a game mode like REC, but you play in NBA uniforms and NBA Arenas.

@Marmalade_Mum Where's the golden arches?
