You can budget all you want and stop eating out, but it doesn’t change the fact that people just don’t make enough money for this economy anymore.

[liz 💥 @lizaboth]

It’s so crazy to me that the price of everything just keeps increasing and the quality keeps decreasing and there’s nothing anybody can do about it

[Jack @nuklearjack]

Come back and face the music you cowards
We know you hear us
We aren't going away
There's still time to figure out what a stupid move this is and change it

The importance of physical dics explained by Sony themselves, 13 years ago.

@PS_Support_US I think I'll share my greatest gaming moments by letting my friends borrow my games
You know while that's still possible before y'all guy yourself and all the players who still want physical games in the boxes instead of pieces of paper

[Canadian Guy Eh @Canadianguyehh]

Did a little research into this "85% of games bought on Playstation are digital". So I decided to look at the EXACT wording of what that meant.

Spoiler: Its not "Out of 100 copies of Spiderman sold, 85% are digital"

Here's how they calculate it.

Digital Units sold, Divided by Total Units sold, times 100.

Straight forward right?

In Q4 of 2025, sony sold 74.6 million units in total, that is both Digital and Physical units.

But the "85% of all games bought are digital" has a HUGE skew to it. Why? Because there are THOUSANDS of DIGITAL only games that do not get a PHYSICAL release. Think the 5$-20$ indie titles or digital only ports of older games.

However, those digital sales are counted AGAINST the physical sales. Meaning? Even if EVERYONE who stopped buying Physical in the past 5 years, went out and bought one game a month? Digital will still dominate physical because (mostly) everything thats physical is also digital, but very little that is digital is also physical.

The Comparison is not fair and when its thrown around on social media its literally framed in a way for the stat to prove how dominant Digital sales are while excluding a number of factors. Doing so would be like comparing Your local Wal-Mart's stock to Amazon.

Not only that, but there are many digital only sales that are held that puts STEEP discounts on games that in-store simply cannot do. Of course there are some games that are on sale in-store that are not on sale digitally, but those digitally only games ALSO go on sale which the retailer has Zero access to because its digital only.

There's also digital incentives where buying the game digitally grants you more content vs buying it in store, driving more sales. Then, there are some games that release digitally, and then have a physical release MONTHS later; or, allow you to play the game a few days early.

If you wanted a more fair comparison? It would be "Digital media with a simultaneous Physical Release vs The Physical Release" Having this stat would reveal the true number. But even THAT number is missing details because that also doesn't include people buying the game second hand/Used from GameStop.

However, while Im sure that stat would STILL benefit digital sales, I would suggest and conclude that it wouldn't be "85%" as many people are suggesting.

This isn't going to blow over
Y'all can take a "24 hour social media break" but we'll all still be here waiting to keep telling you how dumb this idea is

I miss when physical games came with a book and a map 🥺

@PlayStation This is so dumb
The greed is unbelievable

[Jack @nuklearjack]

@PlayStationUK This is a stupid idea cooked up by execs who are out of touch and focused on trying to squeeze every bit of money out of gamers

[Jack @nuklearjack]

And made because it's what they want to make
Not chasing "live service" nonsense or made by committee decision
Just focused gaming like it used to be

[Jack @nuklearjack]

I honestly think the future of console gaming is almost over now
I think the only way to save it is if we go backwards
A cheap to make 32-64 bit console that only plays little cartridges. No focus on online or digital
Games and graphics that can be made by a small team

@PlayStation This is a completely awful decision
No one wants this
I don't know what's going on but i swear it seems like between you and Microsoft you're trying to kill gaming

[Jack @nuklearjack]

@thrluv That was one of my favorite things when i worked in real estate lol

[Jack @nuklearjack]

@diaryofkylie_ My dad used to do the same thing
We would have people over and when he was ready for them to go he would stand up and say "well I'm glad you got to come over" and shake hands, give hugs, ask them if they had their stuff and politely walk them to the door
