Hes got a point, had to translate, thanks X, but when you entitle your disk to a digital copy, keep your disk as proof you own it. When you copy the game then sell your disk youre giving in to the mass machine of digital distribution that will eventually encapsulate and trap us.

[kaboski @TCaboski]

"A armadilha mais perigosa é aquela forrada com veludo

Vocês chamam de 'benefício', mas a história registrará isso como a transição final do cativeiro. Prometem converter a nossa memória física — o disco de plástico, a arte que tocamos, a propriedade que é nossa por direito — em uma 'licença digital'. Uma concessão invisível que vive e morre sob os seus termos de serviço, pronta para ser revogada ao bel-prazer dos seus servidores.

Querem que entreguemos a nossa independência em troca da conveniência de um clique. Querem adestrar a comunidade a aceitar que o objeto real seja substituído por um aluguel disfarçado de presente. Mas nós enxergamos através da sua generosidade calculada: é a tentativa de desarmar o nosso boicote, de anestesiar a revolta e de habituar os jogadores a um mundo onde ninguém possui nada.

Guardem as suas 'licenças digitais'. A memória dos nossos jogos não precisa da autorização do seu sistema para existir. A resposta contra o monopólio e contra o fim da propriedade permanece inabalável, seja no ecossistema que for.

Sem disco, não há compra. Sem posse real, não há negócio

As correntes virtuais continuam sendo correntes, não importa quão douradas vocês tentem pintá-las." 🎭

I NEED PEOPLE TO LISTEN - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

I am seriously considering taking legal action against Sony over the decision to end physical PlayStation game disc production in January 2028. I have the financial means and the intention to pursue this seriously. What I need now is help gathering documented evidence, timelines, factory information, corporate statements, archived marketing.

Allegation:

Sony’s own CFO Lin Tao subsequently stated that the company had put “a lot of thought and time” into the decision and had “cautiously considered this” before reaching its conclusion. Sony also explicitly said it chose to announce the decision around 1.5 years before the 2028 cutoff.

That raises a very simple question:

When did Sony actually make this decision?

Because the evidence surrounding Sony’s manufacturing operations raises even more questions.

Sony DADC’s facility in Thalgau, Austria - its remaining wholly owned optical disc manufacturing facility - has been preparing for a major transition toward Micro Optics. Sony says it has been developing these new products for several years and approximately €30 million has reportedly been invested in the new technology. Employees had already been moved away from disc production and trained for the new operation.

Reports indicate that the Thalgau facility currently produces around 600,000 discs per day, with roughly half connected to PlayStation, while production is expected to fall dramatically by 2028. The facility is being transitioned toward optical microlens production.

Sony had already made a sufficiently concrete decision to abandon physical PlayStation releases while continuing to sell PS5 Disc Edition consoles without informing consumers, there could be serious questions regarding consumer information, misleading marketing, contractual expectations and the timing of Sony’s disclosure.

The fact that Sony’s remaining disc facility was already being transformed toward another technology, with employees being retrained and significant investment already made, makes the timeline particularly important.

It’s about whether consumers were properly informed about a major strategic decision before they spent hundreds of euros buying hardware whose primary purpose for them was physical game ownership.

My lawyer has already contacted the Thalgau facility to ask when these retraining measures and transition plans were first considered and when the relevant decisions were made. The answers may help establish the timeline and clarify what Sony and its manufacturing operations knew, and when they knew it.

🚨 PLAYSTATION GAMERS: NOVEMBER 5 MATTERS.

If you’re participating in the #PSBlackout, understand something: a boycott only has power if it survives long enough to reach the numbers.

Sony’s next quarterly earnings report is November 5.

That’s when shareholders get another look under the hood at Sony- including the performance of its Game & Network Services business.

Tweets can be ignored. Angry videos can be dismissed. Trending hashtags eventually disappear.

" But lost Revenue is harder to explain away."

If PlayStation spending weakens, subscriptions soften, or the gaming division underperforms expectations, investors are going to want to know why.

And that is where consumers have leverage.

If your message is No Disc, No Buy, don't abandon it after a few days because Sony hasn't responded. A boycott isn't measured by how loud Day 1 was. It's measured by what consumers didn't buy afterward.

November 5 doesn't guarantee the blackout will show up in Sony's results. There are many things that move quarterly numbers.

But it gives gamers something important:

A scoreboard.

Keep watching. Keep asking questions. And if you're participating, stay consistent.

Sony may not answer a hashtag.

"Shareholders will ask questions if the numbers give them a reason to."

[Napkin_Apocalypse💿 @Napkin_Worldend]

Losers fixed with this but not the disk situation, just boycott this game for a month after its release for damn sake, its Rockstars own fault doing the digital code box, you may as well let Playstation know that a 100$ revocable license isnt enough for the we the people.

[GTA 6 Countdown ⏳ @GTAVI_Countdown]

People complaining about the GTA 6 extended look being “locked behind a paywall” because it’s exclusive to Netflix for just 6 hours gotta realize this isn’t anything new.

The first GTA 5 preview consisting of an 18-page cover story with many details and core mechanics was exclusive to Game Informer at first and required a subscription too, before more previews became available to everyone by more outlets days later.

After 6 hours, the extended look will be available to everyone on YouTube and the game’s website.

[Rino🚀 @RinoTheBouncer]

It’s seems quite obvious that Sony worked with Rockstar to announce their no-disc future, relying on GTA 6 to be announce GTA 6, follow up to the biggest entertainment product in history, as a digital-only game🚀

Sony was probably too cowardly to push such a move alone.

But GTA or no GTAVI, we must not give up.
This move damages digital gamers as well

NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

[Ⓜasterchiefin @Masterchiefin21]

Sony is currently being sued in California for its deceptive wording of "buy now" and "confirm purchase" on its PlayStation digital Store.

This language implies ownership, but in reality, all you get is access to a revocable license.

[𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐡 #SavePhysicalGaming @Shunkiroth]

Veo a mucha gente mencionando las palabras de Lin Tao sobre proceder con cautela y conectar con los usuarios, así que arrojémos sensatez al tema:

➡️ Mantened bien presente todo el mes que llevan tratando de manipular narrativas, falseando informaciones, contratando a gente para blanquearles e incluso poniendo bots en comentarios.

➡️ Una empresa usando este tipo de tácticas corporativas no quiere conectar con vosotros, quiere manteneros callados y gastando.

➡️ La comparecencia entera fue diseñada como medida disuasoria para la revuelta, para presentar los datos del Q1, falsear el estado actual de la empresa y que la noticia trascendiera al público.
Eso por un lado, por el otro quisieron usarla para dar migajas a sus accionistas y mantenerles a raya.

➡️ Al no estar versados en el tema, el público en general no entiende que los datos de julio no estaban plasmados en los resultados financieros que presentaron. Ellos lo saben y lo usaron como una burda forma de engaño para que quienes aún tienen dudas sigan apoyándoles como si nada.

➡️ No dieron información sobre su estado actual por obvias razones y si veis el vídeo, veréis como incluso dos accionistas preguntan extrañados y preocupados sobre el tema.
Analizando el tono ya se ve el tipo de comparecencia que fue y como Sony omite y direcciona la conversación hacia donde quiere para no tener que dar explicaciones.

➡️ El punto más importante:

Llevan un mes usando estratagemas anti-consumidor de todo tipo.
No son una empresa transparente, no escuchan a su público, no ponen soluciones amigables ni respetan el medio en el que subsisten.

➡️ ¿Por qué?

Porque la empresa ahora mismo es llevada por gente de negocios que nada tiene que ver con el gaming y son capaces de destripar la industria entera con tal de hacer dinero.

➡️ Los mejores consejos que os puedo dar:

- No os fieis de absolutamente nada de lo que puedan decir ellos mismos delante de un micrófono, en entrevistas, a través de sus "analistas", de lo que puedan decir creadores de contenido pro-Sony ni declaraciones que vengan desde cualquier parte de su conglomerado.

- Si mantenéis presente el proceder de la empresa tan solo este último mes, es claro cristalino que no les interesa ni les importa nuestra opinión, nuestros gustos, preferencias, así como tampoco les interesa el bienestar del gaming como medio y como cultura.
Esto os ayudará a sortear sus mil engaños para disuadiros de hacer ruido.

⚠️ La única manera de que no lleven a cabo su monopolio digital de licencias finitas con precios inflados es no comprarles nada, desuscribiros e inundar sus redes.
Sé que es duro, sé que muchos no tenéis otra plataforma pero este es el único camino.
Podéis comprar juegos de segunda mano y seguir jugando, de esta forma Sony no ve ni un céntimo de ello. Hay formas de proceder y que no nos afecte tanto pero si algo hay que tener claro es que si se quiere restaurar el status quo de antaño y recuperar garantías como consumidores, no hay que dejar pasar esto.

➡️ Esto afecta tanto a usuarios del formato físico como del digital.

No va solamente de querer el físico de vuelta, va de proteger este medio en todos sus sentidos, que tengamos garantías y seamos dueños de nuestros juegos dentro y fuera de sus plataformas.
Va de que no hagan desaparecer el mercado de segunda mano, de que no cierren tiendas, de que no despidan a miles de personas ni mermen la cultura entera del videojuego.

Si eres gamer, esto te afecta. Toma conciencia y acción.

[Bad Leroy Brown @Levonaxper]

SONY WILL FALL. Remember my words. I will explain why.

Today PlayStation is seen as untouchable with around 130 million active users. But that is only a snapshot in time. There are many reasons why a company that looks unstoppable today can struggle tomorrow.

I have used this example several times already, but it fits perfectly:

From 1998 to 2011 Nokia dominated the mobile phone market. At one point, they controlled around 40% of the global market. Forty fucking percent! For comparison, Apple’s current smartphone market share is around 20%. Of course the market is much bigger today, but Nokia’s dominance was still enormous. People thought Nokia was untouchable. They became confident, even arrogant. While competitors were already moving ahead, Nokia believed consumers would never leave them. After all, why would people switch away from a brand they had trusted for years huh?

The answer was simple: consumers chose better products.

Some people will say: „But PlayStation has no real competition.” That is only partly true. There are alternatives like Steam, Steam Deck, other handheld PCs, Nintendo, Xbox and potentially new competitors in the future. Just because the situation looks impossible today does not mean it will stay that way forever. A better product can always change the market.

Sony is losing the connection with its customers. Under the new leadership, it feels less like a relationship between players and PlayStation and more like a relationship between shareholders and PlayStation. The focus appears to have shifted from satisfying customers to maximizing investor value. And yes Sony is taking advantage of the GTA VI moment and realistically it will work. GTA VI will likely bring massive profits and make PlayStation look stronger than ever over the next few years.

But remember: there is a time after GTA VI.

First, GTA VI is not exclusive. It will also release on Xbox, and eventually it will most likely come to PC. Second, what PlayStation truly lacks is a consistent lineup of system selling IPs. That was even said by CEO of Sony Hiroki Totoki

Name a Sony franchise today that can move millions of consoles by itself. God of War and Spider-Man are huge but releases are years apart. Uncharted is basically inactive. The Last of Us takes many years between releases. Astro Bot is fantastic, but it does not have the cultural impact of Mario. Gran Turismo is respected, but it is not a mass market console seller.

Nintendo has Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, Donkey Kong, Splatoon, Animal Crossing and many other franchises that can sell millions.

Microsoft despite its questionable decisions, should not be underestimated. They own an incredible portfolio of games like Halo, Forza Horizon, Gears of War, Call of Duty, Doom, The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Diablo, Minecraft, Wolfenstein and many more.

Right now, PlayStation is in a very strong position. But strength today does not guarantee dominance tomorrow.

The future of @PlayStation cannot rely on one massive game or one generation of success. A company needs strong products, strong relationships with its customers and innovation.

History has shown us one thing, no company is untouchable. Maybe only the biggest companys like Google, MS or NVidia but Sony is far away from being that.

Thank you

Os cuento lo de hoy de Sony resumido y muy sencillo:

Lin Tao ha aprovechado la presentación del reporte financiero Q1, que va del 1 de abril al 30 de junio, para enmascarar el impacto que ha tenido la revuelta en su contra y decir falsamente que "no ha afectado a la empresa" puesto que julio no aparece en los datos presentados.

No será hasta el Q2, en octubre, donde se pueda ver el gran batacazo que han tenido y el objetivo principal de la empresa es usar este tiempo para acallar tantas voces como sea posible para restaurar su situación financiera y que sus accionistas no les abandonen para poder seguir con su plan.

➡️ ¿Entonces cual es NUESTRO plan?

Seguir como hasta ahora.
No comprar NADA de Sony, todos los días informar a todo el mundo, inundar sus redes y no dejarles respirar ni un segundo para que, llegado el momento, las cosas no salgan como quieren, sus accionistas se bajen del barco, toda la estrategia que están siguiendo se desmorone y no tengan más remedio que rectificar.

De darse así las cosas, estaríamos hablando de una situación muy difícil para ellos, perderían toda la confianza con la que hablan, el cojín que aportan sus accionistas y se verían obligados a dar un cambio total de dirección para no perder ese porcentaje de jugadores del que ahora parece no importar desprenderse con tanta osadía.

Sed más listos que ellos, todos sus movimientos están calculados y este, por supuesto, también lo está.

Hay que mantenerse firmes.
Compartid el post y que todo el mundo lo tenga claro.

Maybe they should get hacked again. Just turn off their internet if the company wants to keep making decisions that wont benefit its community they were built from. WE NEED A REAL BLACKOUT.

[Genki✨ @Genki_JPN]

Sony CFO Lin Tao says they will not change their plans to end physical disc production and will cautiously move forward with the plan!

"There are various reasons we made this decision, the biggest being that the digitalization of content overall has been progressing, that’s the big factor. It’s not just for PlayStation, but for all kinds of content, digitalization is progressing.

And so when we think about the future–and we put in a lot of thought and time, and we cautiously considered this–and we came to this conclusion, and we’re going to cautiously move this forward. And to this decision, we have received various opinions and people have strong views, and we understand that the community has put forth those views to us.

Games are loved by many people. It’s a form of entertainment that’s loved by people, and it’s connected to people’s fond memories in many cases. And so we understand those emotions. We want to consider that. And in the future digital ecosystem, how do we engage the gamers is something that we would like to continue to explore."

GTA 6 HAS A BORDER NOW. AND ONLY ON PS5.

$80. sealed box. right console. wrong country.
the code inside will not open.

- PS5 code is locked to your PSN region
- nine regions. no crossing.
- xbox code works anywhere on earth
- japan gets a clock: code expires 170 days after launch
(nov 19 2026 -> may 8 2027)

a disc never asked.
any country. any console. any year.
you bought it. you owned it. it worked.

that part is being taken away.
from january 2028 every new playstation game ships as a code.
