@JezCorden Thankfully they don't care for doing this in Greece. No TV here has any kind of ads.

@Gizmodo Why are you reposting the same bs? Gizmodo Deserves to Die. Once I felt sorry of you when your were banned by Apple for leaking the iPhone 4. But now I realize what a piece of shit mentality you have.

[Ted @ted_kou]

@TeamAsobi In the disc drive, cause @PlayStation killed what goes in there.

[Ted @ted_kou]

@PlayStationAU Fuck you down under!

[Ted @ted_kou]

@PlayStationEU Physical or death to Sony.

[Ted @ted_kou]

@PlayStation Keep bribing the idiots that support your digital future, which will be short lived hopefully.

[Ted @ted_kou]

@PlayStationGR 28 χρόνια πελάτης σας, αντίο για πάντα γιατί είστε μαλάκες. Η Sony δημιούργησε τα CD, DVD και Blu Ray και η ίδια τα σκότωσε. Ψάξτε αλλού για μαλάκες πελάτες.

@tomwarren Investors probably asked them to ignore it. Fucking investors every time. They should be happy, not the paying customer.

[Ted @ted_kou]

@PlayStationEU I need my discs to play that game where this controller is supposed to be compatible.

[Ted @ted_kou]

@PlayStation That stick it perfectly designed to shove it, you know where @Sony

[Ted @ted_kou]

@TeamAsobi I will buy your future games only when available in a physical format. Otherwise it's already a bye bye from me.

[Pyo 5️⃣ @mrpyo1]

As we go into a new week, Sony will say something at some point about this.

Don't accept, don't listen to people who are for this digital only future. PlayStation has to come out and do this:

- Apologize
- Reverse the decision
- Have a solution for a long time for physical

[Ted @ted_kou]

@Gizmodo They could improve them, you imbecile @Gizmodo

@Focus_entmt

[Ted @ted_kou]

@SpiderManMovie Sorry Spidey, but FUCK @Sony and @PlayStation

[Ted @ted_kou]

@RinoTheBouncer Hell no. I want to own my games, and be able to play them any time I want. Now or until the day I die.

I'm seeing many people having a hard time understanding why Sony would make a number of unpopular "anti-consumer" moves in rapid sequence. You need to realize it's because you are no longer the consumer.

If you are one of the few who doesn't have a completely fried attention span, I can explain a bit of what's actually going on and why technology feels like shit now.

Many of us living through this shift grew up during a time when new tech felt exciting. Gaming consoles, arcade games, computers, and other devices were targeted directly at us, and evolution was rapid. Consumerism was always present, but so was abundant creativity, and companies’ stated goal was to generate profit by providing ways to make life more entertaining and enriching; marketing creative, innovative technology to own, maintain, and use.

With the rise of the Internet, this focus began to shift. Attention became the new commodity, as did the control of information. Engineering machines became less important than social engineering, and we became the product rather than the market. Aesthetic design, reparability, and functionality became pointless; none of that is required to extract information from you on an industrial scale.

The result of this shift is what we're beginning to see openly now: centralization via AI, mass surveillance, and ownership of absolutely nothing. This new model is built on profiling the most efficient ways to lock you into a maze of subscription services and endless debt, while giving you the means to distract yourself just enough to never become a threat to these objectives.

Understand that Sony is not doing anything here other than following the blueprint that many other tech companies and governments have drafted. They know it’s wildly unpopular, which is why the gaslighting is required. It’s why Sony’s short announcement of ending physical media uses the term, "As consumer preferences change..." four times. It’s to convince you that you have no choice, and that all of this is just technological determinism at work.

Technological determinism is a scam. You still have a free will choice. All you need to do is stop investing your time and money into a system that has zero benefit to you, and instead start enjoying older technology and tools that you can use and maintain; or even more importantly, support new stuff built like the old stuff was. Once enough “product” (i.e. you) is removed from the marketplace, it will cease to be useful to the people who built it. The machine will seize, and we can start making a lot of really cool things again. That’s all that is required.

In the words of Ferris Bueller, "The question isn't, 'What are we going to do?' The question is 'What aren't we going to do?'”

So, what aren't you going to do?

@SpIinterCaI Cause they are stupid. Why does it have to be more complicated than that?

[Ted @ted_kou]

@Akisdeli @Billaroast90 @KtmKostas Όχι, είναι περισσότερο. Μισό κύτταρο όλο κι όλο.
