Sony’s stock rose more than 3% after the company announced it will stop releasing new PlayStation games on physical discs starting in January 2028.
Apparently, investors see the move as a way for Sony to increase profits, as selling games digitally eliminates the costs.
Sony said nearly 80% of full-game sales on PS4 and PS5 are already digital, up from 13% when the PS4 launched in 2013.
I don't think they will walk back on this decision even with all the backlash.
Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud.
This isn't about literature or history. It's about using public schools to spread the gospel to captive students.
That's exactly what the First Amendment forbids.
Mass surveillance under a regime that has repeatedly and continuously earned mass distrust is insane. I’m generally opposed to the panopticon but I am viscerally opposed to this virtual rectal probe from trump and his enablers.
lol shit take. Imagine a playground etc but one rich asshole’s kid is pissed the girl he likes is dating the star player. he bribes and hoards his way to a game-breaking deck but she still doesn’t like his personality so he burns all the rarest cards out of spite. This is how economies work. Capital allocation toward personal gain at the expense of others. Yeah, not all billionaires are bad people but billionaires exist because of exploitation of human capital
An avid X user dies and goes to heaven. Upon arrival, God offers to answer any question they have. The Tweeter asks, "Just one. What's the correct answer to the button question?"
God responds: "The blue button"
The X user pauses, nods, and says, "Wow. The virtue signaling goes even higher than I thought".
There will always be mysteries to solve. Diseases to cure. Ideas to pursue. Planets to discover. Nature to enjoy. I’m a musician and I know I may be “replaced” in a capitalist sense, but my taste persists and that drives me to create. I won’t ever stop making music, especially if all my needs are met. Hell i’d love to go back to school without debt. Besides, what’s so bad about just reading a book in the park on a monday afternoon?
@Pattenfjohnson@elonmusk My instinct says we’ll see emergent incentive scaffolding that will facilitate broader deeper innovation. Makers will always make. Innovation born of slave labor will recede to make way for the unshackling of all human potential.
