You go to the only piece of writing that is universally agreed to be more impactful and legendary than The Odyssey, of course: Metal Gear Solid

A day I’ll never forget. The GOAT himself @JJWatt came to O’ Haras and put down a PINT of Guinness in 1.5 seconds just to get a picture with me!

Truly so grateful for this moment, a story I’ll be able to tell my family and friends for the rest of my life ❤️

But tomorrow night in Seattle, for one day only against Belgium

It’s called Monday Night Football.

for me red dead 2 is easily one of the best written AAA games ever. i have issues with gameplay pacing sure (honestly 99% of that is “Guarma”) but its an incredible work that gets better on replay. i kinda wanna play it now even. every time i see rdr2 glaze im like yeah go ahead

One game that will be lost to time after the PS3 Store shuts down, PAIN!

This game is so silly but damn does it hold a special place in my heart

Tons of DLC featuring new maps, modes, and crazy characters like Daxter, Fat Princess, Buzz, David Hasselhoff, Flavor Flav and more!

Did more digging.

It gets worse.

I decided to compare, isolating the PS5 Platform as a comparison. How many more digital exclusive games are there? and does it correlate with the 85% number?

There are, at this point in time, about 1,120 PRINTED PS5 games (give or take). We are going to assume, that all 1,120 of those games also have a digital counterpart.

I went to the PSN store and simply clicked PS5 Platform and games. So this does not include DLC, MTX, etc. The total? 7,590 games.

But what about free to play?

Lets exclude those, this brings the total down to 7,451 games on the PSN store sorted specifically for the PS5. I want to note, this would be a COMPLETE PS5 library (thus far).

So, simple Math

7,451 - 1,120 = 6,331.

There are 6,331 MORE games on the PSN store than what's PHYSICALLY PRINTED For the PS5. That is 5.65x MORE games. These are all games that sell for 1 dollar, all the way up to your 100$+ digital special editions. If you Buy Final Fantasy Rebirth for 69.99 physically, go home, and buy "Quack McStuffins" for a dollar on PSN, those quantity of numbers are treated as equal.

and it gets even funnier.

Lets take that digital catalogue of 6,331 games and divide it by that complete library number (7,451) and turn it into a percentage.

6,331 divided by 7,451 = 84.96%

Meaning? almost 85% of the PS5's available library is DIGITAL ONLY. Ironic how 85% of Playstation's sales are digital eh?

So, what's happening here?

"All digital" defenders are using False Equivalency, and an Availability bias to gaslight users into thinking that no one plays physical anymore and to "get with the times" in the digital era.

Playstation themselves stated "This is a natural direction for Sony Interactive Entertainment to adapt to consumer trends as the general preference for digital media significantly outpaces physical discs." But this logic is ONLY sound if you apply a False Equivalency.

ALL OF THIS- Before we even take into account of the insomniac leaks back in 2022, which showed that 31 out of the 33 first party games sold MORE in Physical than Digital. And in recent memory, Astrobot selling around 55% physical vs Digital.

So, why are they doing this?

Because MONEY!

Playstation makes WAY more money if you buy the game digitally vs Physically. So playstation is using the backing of convenience, Digital Incentives, indie/AA teams, Mini-Games, and yes, AI Slop, to validate jamming gamers who prefer Physical games with a hot poker into a 100% digital era.

gaming industry sucks man

[Dr. Doot 🎷 @DrDootPhD]

Remember how Hideo Kojima's P.T. was not only pulled from the Playstation Store, but was also made impossible to re-download?

Another bell tolls for the death of the gaming industry.

[Reality @realityuk]

i have all consoles but i mainly use PC, this is basically an outsiders perspective

the console market is controlled mainly by two retards that continuously shoot themselves in the foot and couldn’t give the slightest of shits about the consumer
