So they'll ignore the players and their lifelong customers for over a month and then when they finally turn to make a statement, its to their shareholders, not us.
That should tell you all you need to know about Sony and Playstation.
Ever since Sony’s announcement, and it’s like I almost completely lost my hype for gaming, after being super hyped from summer games week🚀
It’s not even just about discs, and the ramification of their end, it’s the fact that this is the culmination of the industry saying:
“We don’t care about you, we don’t gaf about gaming, passion or creativity. It’s strictly just a business”
This isn’t just the end of discs, this is the end of our patience towards the bastardization of our beloved hobby, and its hijacking by creatively and morally bankrupt execs
NO DISC 💿 NO BUY
Seeing a lot of comments from people that worry about the #PSBlackout because they use their console for streaming and we are thinking, "Damn, you are so close."
Persistence. Disruption. For as long as possible.
If you choose not to participate, that's fine. Your time is your own.
But do not for a moment degrade those who choose to do something, anything, to further the cause of keeping consumer choice alive.
If we turn on each other - THEY win. Play Forever.

@Sony We've officially entered the Twilight Zone.
@PlayStation is preparing to end physical game discs...
...while @SonyElectronics is telling people to buy a turntable and enjoy their physical vinyl.
Apparently physical media is timeless... unless it's video games.
Our sign-in? Walking over to the shelf.
Our game library? Looking at the physical collection we've built over the years.
Our game launcher? Taking the disc out of its case and sliding it into the console.
100% uptime. 💿
This viral video is a nice little callback to a prior incident with PlayStation. Remember the CBOMB? It still exists!
When the CMOS battery fails, PlayStation consoles need to resync the internal clock online or the system can't verify licenses anymore.
Initially you were locked out of all digital purchases on PS3, PS4, and PS5, and even physical games on PS4.
Despite never acknowledging it, we got them to fix the issue on PS4 and PS5, but NEVER on PS3. Then, a couple of months ago, when Sony introduced the new way DRM works for digital purchases, they re-introduced the issue on PS4 and PS5 for the initial refund period of 14 days after a new purchase. It will stay active until you go online again and get the perpetual license for your purchase. Then you can set your console to primary and play digital games offline.
As you can see, PS3 is not so lucky. The issue isn't fixed at all. Every time your system clock loses time, you will need to connect to the online service that sets the time again.
