strange that digital purchases are rising just as they started selling digital only consoles, which are kept at lower prices than the disc drive counterpart
Sony’s stock rose more than 3% after the company announced it will stop releasing new PlayStation games on physical discs starting in January 2028.
Apparently, investors see the move as a way for Sony to increase profits, as selling games digitally eliminates the costs.
Sony said nearly 80% of full-game sales on PS4 and PS5 are already digital, up from 13% when the PS4 launched in 2013.
I don't think they will walk back on this decision even with all the backlash.
@DiscussingFilm all these reports gonna do is cushion the transition to digital only purchases. strongly urge everyone to boycott both those companies until they promise to release physical media at affordable pricing. designers and developers need to also be involved for their pay too
@reverse_vampire everyone mentioning his estate like Stevie Ray didn’t solely make a name bc of the comparisons to Hendrix and all the needle drops of the past 40 years
@hotdamhistorian@remaininl1ght supposed to be based on last contact, sometimes refs don’t catch it which is why the banderas on the side of the field have those flags and stuff to help. still a lot slips by and it’s not severe enough of a call to warrant review ig
@kdbhsn@leossingleoscar@gwensgirlfriend more ppl watch it bc it’s been advertised at max capacity for the last half century and before (but not to the same extent). if the women’s leagues in any sport was advertised as much it would have an increase in viewership, just look at WNBA and their growth
the last 55 seconds of any of the latest NBA finals series game took like 5min each bc of fouls called and timeouts. I really was rooting for Iran and agree they were shut out logistically and politically but idk if im all in yet on those being the specific proofs
Iran are eliminated because of
- a goal v. Belgium ruled out due to a player's butt being offside
- a last minute goal v. Egypt ruled out due to a player's toenail being offside
- a goal from Austria in the 96th minute from a player subbed on on the 95th
we let the isms of the few from back home (or from here) get into our head and it hinders our progress. we remain behind in those conversations bc we just kinda feel it and don’t do anything with that. should be embarrassing for so many to be as incurious as they are.
we straight up look like this when we have those posts abt mexican identity take off cause it’s a century PLUS of debate and nonlinear progress from el caribe and black americans and panafricanists etc on the subject of diaspora
