Thank you @Sony and @PlayStation @PlayStation_jp @PlayStationAU for all the great memories. Best consoles ever. But this is it. Goodbye and goodluck. #PSBlackout #NoDiscNoBuy

Day 4 of the PlayStation Blackout🚀

Let’s refuse some of the weak arguments against physical games:

🗣️“You just want physical games for nostalgia”

✅No. Physical games represent:

A) Ownership
B) Competitive pricing
C) Second hand market & trading
D) No reliance on networks & internet
E) Not tied to a user account
F) Playable worldwide without region lock
G) Collectible value

🗣️“85% of players buy digital”

✅15% or even 5% in this industry is still millions of people bringing in hundreds of millions of not billions o revenue.

Statistics from around the world have also shown us that in the UK, France, Japan and Australia, physical game sales go higher than %40 and %50 for games like Resident Evil and Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

🗣️“Nobody buys physical games”

✅Several physical games go out of stock for weeks, or ship with a disc that requires downloading more.

Physical games don’t lack interest, they lack genuine support.

🗣️“Netflix and Spotify ended movie and music Blu-Rays and CDs”

✅Movies are still being sold on Blu-Ray and 4K UHD Blu-Rays, and music is still released on CDs, vinyl records and even collectible cassette tapes that actually work, despite being far smaller and less demanding than video games which can go over 100GB.

Artists sell multiple variants of the same vinyl and CD to boost sales.

🗣️“I haven’t bought a physical game for 10 years! It’s obsolete”

✅Your experience with games does not automatically reflect everyone else’s. If you don’t care, don’t get in the way.

🗣️“It’s expensive to make games on disc”

✅Games won’t be cheaper when man all digital. You will pay the same price for a glorified rental that can be taken any time due to licensing agreements or account loss/suspension.

🗣️“You’re too broke, you want to buy second hand and resell games”

✅Being a bootlicker for corporations that don’t know you exist, does not make you any less broke than those you accuse and posture in front of behind a keyboard

Physical games should always be an option. Video games are far more than just a file to download or “access” to gain.

In addition to all the benefits, they hold sentimental value to players and collectors.

NO DISC 💿 NO BUY

[Biden doing a kickflip @Randomperson911]

Genuine question. Why are so many people hating on those doing this blackout? Getting rid of physical discs doesn’t benefit consumers in any way. Sony won’t pass the saving on to us, they’ll just keep raising prices like usual. The only difference is that now we won’t even have the option of truly owning the games we buy, or buying used games for less. Even single player games. If they even feel like it they could pull the license and the game is gone forever

@TheGameVerse Ive already download my @Minecraft Real and started hosting it myself. Everything canceled. Unplugged. No Sony. No PS5. No OnDrive. No iCloud. No Dropbox. No Gmail... self host everything.

[GameVerse @TheGameVerse]

UPDATE: PS5 players are now calling for an indefinite blackout in protest against Sony, with no end date.

The movement could see participants skip major releases like GTA 6 and Wolverine until Sony changes course.
