Despite @PlayStation pathetic efforts to gaslight the masses into accepting their all digital future with these constant sales. They are still constantly failing, the superior option is still cheaper.

The host of the podcast, the one that said gamer rights are “complicated” without any context whatsoever, posted on Twitter: ”…I want them to succeed. I am on the side of PlayStation, and Xbox, and all the companies. I want them to win.”
Oh, he is also sponsored by Sony.
Fair enough: he’s entitled to his bias. But maybe he should disclose it. And maybe the journalists reporting on this should disclose it too.
Legal expert Dr Celia Pontin says Stop Killing Games' idea of having laws protecting gamers is "complicated"
"There's a mismatch between what people might be calling for and what is possible ... when it comes to how existing legislation works"

Dr. Celia Pontin directs policy at Flux Digital Policy, part of Wiggin LLP which advises games companies and lists Sony as a key client.

This is a huge example of why physical matters and why people are worried about the future for games.
I'm having a hard time processing just how lost these fake gamer tourists are.
I have no idea how someone can look to the future PlayStation has planned and not immediately become wildly concerned.
You're cheering for a digital monopoly. Wake up, thrall.
And where are the #nodiscnomoney #nodiscsnobuy grifters?
Those bitches are liers they care a shit about physical
If you care about physical you must speak against all digital in all companies
It's almost like every time you give the corporation control over what you own, they take it away as soon as they think they can get away with it.
The Switch version of Aliens: Fireteam Elite – which ran via cloud streaming – has been shut down.
This makes the full game – including modes that can be played offline on other platforms – entirely unplayable for those who bought it for $30-60.

Keep it going!
The #PSBlackout boycott, organized by the game preservation group DoesItPlay? has gathered momentum as more than 345,000 people have signed a petition urging Sony to keep releasing physical PlayStation games 📀

New "ad" for the all-digital future just dropped!
Xbox services down and once again, many people are barred from downloading, playing or purchasing games. Add to that the small legal inconvenience that they can just rip purchases from your library or ban accounts for no reason.
If anyone ever needed any proof that @elonmusk is not a gamer, his silence on the @PlayStation Disc situation speaks volumes.
Don't buy into the @Sony-sponsored narrative.
Sony's planned shift away from producing physical discs for PlayStation might be unpopular, but new sales data has highlighted the stark business reality behind it. bit.ly/4wOS9bf
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The cited sales data applies only to the US market. Globally, Sony shipped nearly 70 million physical PlayStation game discs in FY2025. bsky.app/profile/matpis… tweaktown.com/news/111657/ph…

God, why do all these analysts sound like corporate mouthpieces these days? If they knew about the reactions before, why did they have to lie about the reason for their move? If they aren't afraid, why did they not tell developers?
Japanese Game Industry analyst @serkantoto says Sony is unlikely to change its mind about killing discs on PlayStation:
"I sympathize with physical media fans, but Sony will not reverse this decision. They of course knew what the online reaction would look like, and they now wait for this storm to pass."
"Sony has over 120 million active PlayStation users. Around 50 million people subscribe to PlayStation Plus. As a thought experiment, let's say 500,000 cancel in protest, that would be just 1% of that business gone — of course not enough to Sony to start rethinking. Digital is just too lucrative."

.@Sony: "I've got an idea! Let's try to trap our user base in a single digital storefront so they can't buy/sell used games anymore!"
The Last Brain Cell at Sony: "But that would severely anger our biggest supporters, the ones who spread word of mouth and praise us?"

Make this a number they can't overlook!
Show Sony we won't accept the death of physical media and ownership: change.org/p/don-t-kill-the-…
We need to spread it too. Share it in groups. Share it with family. Share it with friends. Share it with your local game store.
Jesus Christ, @PlayStation, just reverse the decision before you kill yourself.
I asked ChatGPT
Not flattering for @JoshFairhurst.
Let's ask @grok questions.
Get Grok, what caused LRG to lose face with consumers?

News on PlayStation Store on PS3 and PS Vita - play.st/4vEN9FX
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Sony is pushing the digital format, eliminating physical media and closing its PS3 and PS Vita stores. This will severely damage the secondhand market and retail outlets.
The EU has sanctioned Apple for comparable practices regarding digital rights.
