For anyone upset about Sony’s move to end physical media,
I’d suggest heavily supporting Stop Killing Games
This initiative is literally fighting to protect exactly what these companies want to destroy. It aims to force publishers to ensure you can always access and play the games you paid for—even after they stop supporting them
GOG shared a clear statement on digital ownership after Sony announced the end of physical discs.
They said that even if a game vanishes from the GOG storefront, it never leaves your library. This is how purchased games should work.
“Even if a game vanishes from the GOG storefront, it never leaves your library. Exactly as digital ownership ought to be.”
No futuro, vou ter que explicar pros meus filhos que a gente conseguia comprar hardware e ter em casa algo chamado "PC" pra jogar games, mas aí a elite de virgens supremos da humanidade começou a gerar vídeos de namoradas falsas, tudo se tornou caríssimo e agora não temos água.
>saca una consola cara con un performance mediocre después de años sin hacer nada
>encima te cobra 99$ por el mando a parte
>”nunca podrás competir contra sony y xbox Gabriel”

Eventually, even digital data will no longer be owned by individuals on their own initiative. Whenever there is a major change or accident in the world, in a country, in a government, in an idea, in a trend, access to it may suddenly be cut off.
I can't help but think gaming is in a really, really bad place right now.
Things like this, massive layoffs/closures across the industry losing thousands of talented people who will never return, and the continual refocus on the Hollywoodification of games in general.
I hate it.
