Sony summed up by @AdamKoralik: They established they are very willing to take down content you own. They are very willing to take down the only network by which you can acquire games. And they are very willing to cut off any sort of alternative.

Alarm bells couldn't be louder.

Physical media is still king

[Wesley van Harskamp @wesmoen]

That's the exception many will make. Printing your own discs is not really feasible for self published titles.

2K and Sony on the other hand does have the money. So, they don't have excuses.

[Oliver Darko @oliver_drk]

You do realize that the vast majority of indie devs never releases game physical? 😅

[Wesley van Harskamp @wesmoen]

What I don't get. Why waste plastic and all? Why don't you go this route?

This option is at least reusable for the stores.

Rockstar confirmed the physical GTA 6 edition ships November 19 with a download code and no disc. Two retailers are refusing to stock it.

Video Games Plus: "For nearly 40 years, VGP has been committed to supporting physical media and preserving the value of physical game ownership. VGP will not be offering it for sale under our current company policy."

Loot Box Gaming: "If a product can't honor the people who pay their hard-earned money to purchase it, then we have no business trying to sell it to our customers."

146 games have already used the code-in-box format in 2026 alone. If GTA 6 sells 50 million copies without a disc, every major publisher reads that as permission to follow.

A box with no disc is not a physical game. It is a receipt. Do you agree?

great comedic timing game

[Wesley van Harskamp @wesmoen]

I adore Animation cels, but with those prices collecting was never in the stars.

Shiiiiiiit.

Also, they were drawn with nipples? Can't remember that from the end product.

This DEFINATLY happened to some poor japanese girl in the 2000's

This is why people get tired of the shenanigans.

First, they gimp the 1.0 enough that it passed QA at Sony. Then Ubi try to save their face by placing logos which are easily missed.

Sony killed their physicals by being so lax. This should never have passed QA.

Another shady trick to steer customers away from physical media and ownership: Deliberately release broken products to undermine the value of a physical release.

As expected, Assassin's Creed Red Flag is #PhysicalFraud.

And people thought Jim Ryan was really a hefty one.

Man, these two did fuck up.

[Joseph Moran @MrBadBit]

The irreparable damage these two men have made to the PlayStation brand cannot be understated…

I’ve been gaming on PlayStation for decades and I LOVE the games their teams make….

But their actions truly are pushing me away from the platform.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Oooooooh, now you "want" to be for the customers.

Neh, you have shown your true face.

Reevaluate your last judgement about Stop Killing Games and we might start to believe you.
