@Halo A new fiction? What's that?

@HistorianUSA1 Let it be known. NOBODY cares about you and your safety but YOU. That's it. Everyone else is too terrified or apathetic to worry about you. Nobody wants to be called "racist" for daring to stand up to a black man attacking a white man.

It should be illegal for companies to remove digital media from our library, and I don’t understand why it’s not.

Sony killed physical games because ownership gets in the way of control. A disc is yours and they don’t like that. They didn’t sell us the future of gaming. They sold us permission to play. If buying a game doesn’t mean owning it, then “buy” has lost its meaning.

BREAKING NEWS

[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

On the same day Sony told a billion gamers to embrace digital forever, it quietly showed them the catch.

Two announcements, one blog, an hour apart.

First: from January 2028, no new PlayStation game will ship on a disc, digital only.

Second, buried below: Sony is closing the online stores for the PlayStation 3 and Vita, so you will no longer be able to buy games there at all.

Read together, they are not two stories. They are the whole argument about what you actually own.

A disc is the last thing in your home a Silicon Valley company cannot reach. A PlayStation game from 1994 still works today, and the law lets you resell it, lend it, keep it forever.

That is ownership. It is protected by something called the first-sale doctrine, and it applies to physical objects. It does not apply to digital purchases. That is not Sony being cruel. That is the quiet legal truth underneath the whole shift.

Sony's own spokesperson said it plainly today. With all digital content, you are not buying the game. You are buying a personal license for non-commercial use. Not the thing. Permission to use the thing, which depends on the company's servers and goodwill. They once pulled a game called Concord two weeks after launch. Buyers got refunds, but the game itself simply vanished.

This was never really about discs versus downloads. It is about moving the largest entertainment medium on Earth from a world where you own an object the law protects, to one where you hold access the law treats as rented.

Convenient, cheaper, and easier for almost everyone. Also revocable in a way a disc never was.

The click of a disc into a console was ownership. The download is permission. Sony just showed you, in a single morning, how differently the two age.

Do you agree with what Sony did??

This absolute UNIT at McDonald’s loses his mind over a wrong order 😂💀

Long-haired legend screaming “I AM the manager,” demanding refunds for his 15-mile round trip, calling out “Big Mac sauce” instead of tartar, threatening cops, and full-on escalating on the poor employees. “Let it get ugly!” Bro, it’s a cheeseburger, not a war crime.

I don’t think the manager handled this well, either.

Anyone know what happened after? Did he get the refund, get trespassed, or is he still there yelling? Spill the update.
