These greedy, out of touch companies and their equally as greedy and out of touch investors/shareholders/board members will lose a LOT of money to piracy, and they will be happy 🖕
Sony’s PlayStation Terms of Service state that buying a game doesn’t mean you own the software itself.
According to the agreement, words like “buy,” “purchase,” and “own” don’t transfer ownership of the game’s intellectual property. Instead, you’re given a license to use it, which can be revoked under certain conditions.
That’s why physical game ownership has become a major topic and everyone is fiighting for this

@panzer_VI@Pirat_Nation Correction, most game devs are on our side, feel free to use this one, I made it with a simple AI prompt anyway. No, I don't know how to use Photoshop or similar apps to edit out the "game developers" text at the bottom in the original version of this picture.
Cookie pop-ups are aggravating and could be used to track you even if you don’t click “Accept.” That’s why Brave takes the safer approach: blocking the pop-ups from appearing altogether.
A lot of PS5 owners are becoming interested in jailbreaking their consoles after Sony announced it will stop releasing new PlayStation games on physical discs.
A jailbroken PS5 can run homebrew apps, emulators, and other unofficial software. Players see it as a way to preserve games and keep older titles working in the future if Sony decides to start removing games one day.
For those who defend Sony’s all-digital future, this is the real reason they want an all-digital future, not the lack of sales for physical games🚀
Sony engineered the narrative that physical games don’t sell, by calculating free to play, digital only slop, DLC, MTX and subscription games as “digital sales” to create this fake image.
So enjoy your future!😅
Even IGN roasted Sony saying that even digital games aren’t really safe and that players are losing real ownership as PlayStation moves toward a digital-only future.
The article says buying a digital game doesn’t mean you’ll own it forever and points to past cases where Sony removed purchased digital movies from people’s libraries, showing that digital purchases can disappear even after you’ve paid for them.
IGN argues that moving away from physical games means players lose the ability to keep, lend, or resell their games, and says Sony is asking fans to trust digital ownership without giving them the same rights as physical copies.
When even journalists are against you, something is seriously wrong.

@ValentinusSecun@SSJ3Metaridley@Pirat_Nation I just saw your reply and did it, this is what I got, it's weird that it got rid of the red face on yours.
I just told it exactly that, to replace the bottom text but not change anything else.
The PlayStation post about the end of physical media has been Community Noted.
It has also received nearly 70,000 replies, with people extremely mad about it. This could be one of the Playstationbiggest backlash in recent years.
PlayStation has also stopped posting since announcing the change.
“Digital purchases grant a revocable license to access content, not ownership. Sony recently removed hundreds of purchased StudioCanal movies from libraries due to licensing.”
Frank Cifaldi, director of the Video Game History Foundation, says piracy has become the only practical way to preserve many older games that would otherwise disappear.
“As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate.”
“We have attempted to work with the industry’s trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.”
