6 weeks after Sony announced they want to force everyone into a future without customer rights. The corpo apologists said the backlash will blow over quickly, yet these are the trending news topics on Twitter today. Almost like people are rightfully upset with the industry.
Digital Foundry says sources have told them that Microsoft is planning to continue support for physical game discs with the aim of prioritizing backward compatibility. https://t.co/ezwZN66nTK
REPORT: Microsoft is claimed to continue producing physical discs for XBOX🚀
They also aim to primarily focus on ensuring their old games run on future devices
In the very last year of this generation, XBOX could be securing a huge win that outweighs anything Sony did in this abysmal generation😎

Zoomers don't know that we didn't live under constant surveillance or have smart phone cameras pointed at us for every moment we spent outside in the year 2002.
Did you know there's a secret song from this album that Nickelodeon kept hidden for years?? Okay it's not quite that serious, but here's some info on a potentially scrapped/shelved song from this album that was only made public a few years ago! ..🧵
Its remarkable how delusional they are.
Just astonishing stuff.
Its like a repeat of the Don Mattrick Xbox One days and his destruction of the Xbox brand. Just this time around, Sony.
Physical games existed before digital games.
Physical games were (and still are) very profitable.
When companies went digital (more than a decade ago), digital games should have been cheaper than their physical counterparts (newsflash, they weren't).
Now somewhere, in this person's addled brain, they believe it logical that physical games should increase in price.
No sir, you got that wrong, digital games should have been cheaper DECADES ago, these corporations have been racking in RECORD PROFITS for fucking DECADES and we didn't do anything about it. (remember the days when gaming was niche? This industry is now bigger than fucking hollywood).
The bigwigs behind this industry then did a piss poor job at handling those record profits (concord, suicide squad, skull & bones, redfall are just some recent examples). They managed incredibly successful studios with the strategic acumen of a toddler trying to raid a candy store (leading to an inconceivable amount of talent loss & brain drain in the industry).
And after fucking up this industry with COLOSSAL FAILURES they ONCE AGAIN, turn to us to foot the fucking bill.
Well sir, you've done a fairly cold, analytical analysis of corporate financials (after their repeated failures).
Allow me to do mine...
I don't give a fuck about how much profit a corporation needs to make to appease their shareholders unless that corporation is looking out for my best interests.
You did your best to present this whole argument as simple business transaction (especially in your replies) and that's exactly what this is.
If they're not giving us what we want, what good are they for? We've already seen they are incredibly incompetent at managing the RECORD INDUSTRY PROFITS we allowed them to have, why do we need to support said incompetence if they're not even providing us the products we want?
Corpo guzzling in 2026 is crazy, especially when trying so hard to appeal to cold hard logic that falls apart with surface level analysis.
We have former industry executives talking about how worthless and entitled the customer base is.
Good will and customer service replaced by contempt and ego.
The customer is always right in matters of tastes, and this industry tastes like shit. Watch where the money goes.
Change isn’t gonna happen if you’re gonna only sign petitions or stop playing for a short while🚀
Do those, but extend that into:
✅Not buying digital
✅Buying physical games
✅Unsubscribe from PS+
✅Keep speaking up
You have until January 2028
❌Nintendo thought they’d always be on top
❌Xbox thought they’d always be on top
Now PlayStation thinks they’re invincible and their fans will come along
Prove them wrong, and pay no attention to the snakes in the media, they are Sony’s sock puppet.
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
Kaz Hirai, former chairman, CEO and president of Sony bowed down to apologize for the 24 day PlayStation blackout in 2011, which was an attack, not their own fault🚀
And now, it took them 30 days to issue a vague statement that boils down to “we have carefully considered ‘strong’ reactions but screw you antway”
Crazy to see how far Sony has fallen off, from this level of respecting players to whatever they are now.
Stop funding people that don’t respect you and only see you as a number, especially when their output is as abysmal and as overpriced as this generation.
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
