While I was at #Gamescom I had the chance to be interviewed by @CapcomGermanyPR about the #OnimushaWayoftheSword demo. I was surprised because I wasn't expecting it but am glad to had the opportunity to share some initial impressions of the game! @OnimushaGame

@PlayStation This is a really bad decision, if you want to lose long time fans who actually buy games and move on from your platform then this is a way to do it. But there is a way to reverse this decision, the stock needs to crash. $SONY

@PlayStation Cool, so in the future we should expect an email like this:

Sony's stupidity, short sightedness and arrogance on this matter is staggering in ways that I can barely get my head around. You're seriously telling me that someone who makes these PR decisions thought it was a good idea to reveal this mere WEEKS after the publicity surrounding the court case against them over the fact they regularly charge £70 for a "digital licence" for a glorified game rental that they can revoke whenever they feel like it AND an actual real world example of this happening with 500 digital movie purchases being delisted/revoked. They think they're bulletproof at this stage but this is gonna have massive financial implications for them. I have spoken to five people today of my Playstation collecting friends and have many more still to talk to. ALL of them have said this was the final nail in the coffin and they're dropping Playstation going forward. Some aren't even waiting until the cut off date for physical in Jan 2028. Citing "consumer trends" is bullshit. It's price fixing. They want you to pay around £70 for a game you don't own so they can take it back. They don't want ownership of discs to be a thing anymore because they can't control pricing on it and can't resell it to you a few years later, simple as that. Then there's the separate issue of them effectively telling us they don't give a damn about preservation either. Xbox is moving away from consoles so they aren't gonna be an option anymore. We can still get SOME physical switch games where 100% of the game is on card but it kinda feels like in a world where digital is becoming pushed increasingly it's gonna be Steam who come out on top. At least they (along with GOG) have a contingency plan to guarantee you can play your library without online authentication. I'm gonna finish off the gaps in my collections for franchises I've exclusively collected on Playstation and then I'm done. I'll probably go pre-owned just so they don't get any more of my money as well. I guess I'm collecting retro and switch only physically from now on and waiting for Steam sales for everything else. Think I'll spend my physical sony money going forward for games I WOULD have bought on PS5 on the Neo Geo AES Plus instead and some lovely physical games that can't be taken back 😎 1995 to 2026 was a good run but I guess the dream is dead. Pictured: SOME of my PS4/5 collection (PS1-3 and PSP/Vita is elsewhere in the house) I'd envisaged this getting a LOT bigger than it's gonna get. Oh well. #Playstation #Sony #PhysicalGames

Cancelemos y no apoyemos a PlayStation

Decided to cancel PS Plus. Just hoping Sony reconsiders their decision to kill physical games. @Sony @PlayStation #NOTBUYINGPS6

Apologize to Nintendo? Fuck key cards!

Mientras tanto en algún lugar del desierto al lado de los juegos de E.T. 💀

Final thought for today. It's ironic that Sony choosing the disc (CD-ROM) for the PS1 is what gave them such a significant advantage over Nintendo and Sega at the time. Nintendo was supposed to partner with Sony on the Nintendo PlayStation but backed out at the last moment. Sony still went ahead with a motivation to be successful without the with the PlayStation console. Looking back at the history of PlayStation from PS1,2,3,4,5, psp and Vita, Physical games are part of PlayStation's DNA. It should always be that way as far as I'm concerned and it's pathetic to see them just look down upon it and discard it all in the name of saving a bit of money. They really don't care about "goodwill" when there is no competition keeping them in check. #NOTBUYINGPS6 @Sony @PlayStation

Gracias DIOS por haberme permitido vivir la edad de ORO 🪎de los videojuegos: Por mis maravillosos abuelos que ya no están y que me compraban mis videojuegos de SNES y Game Boy en El Corte Inglés como premio por mis buenas notas. Por las interminables tardes de verano en mi pueblo jugando a los RPGs de la Super Nintendo en compañía de mis primos y amigos. Por las miles de aventuras vividas. Por los amigos que conocí coleccionando y jugando. Por los viajes recorridos en busca de esa pieza soñada. Por las risas, por las lágrimas, por la pasión de vivir y de disfrutar jugando a videojuegos, juntos o solos. Por los Zelda, los Mario, los Gears, los Uncharted, los The Last Of Us, los Halo, los Castlevania, los Metal Gear, los Resident, los Street Fighter… Por aquellas épocas pasadas, donde el sol ☀️ brillaba alto y bañaba nuestros sueños con su luz. Los que poseemos colecciones de videojuegos en formato físico, tenemos algo más que una simple afición: tenemos en nuestras casas un estilo de vida, una manera muy particular y muy sencilla de amar el medio además de poseer una hermosa herramienta que nos sirve para conectar con nuestro pasado y con la gente que comparte nuestra historia. LARGA VIDA AL FORMATO FÍSICO. #ForeverPhysical

ディスクだとこういう楽しみもあるのに……！！ 無印のSEの違いとか😭 紙の説明書の表紙の違いとか😭

PlayStation is currently facing multiple lawsuits alleging the PlayStation Store operates as an illegal monopoly (via @Chris_Dring)

And THAT ladies and gentleman is why PHYSICAL MEDIA IS IMPORTANT. Cause you may never know when the things you love will be taken off streaming one day. Class dismissed.

🚨ÚLTIMA HORA: KFC dejará de ofrecer su formato físico a partir de hoy. Sus productos solo se podrán consumir a través de su app en formato falso png.

REMINDER: SONY WANTED TO SHUT DOWN THE PS3 STORE WHEN THE PS5 RELEASED. THEY REVERSED COURSE DUE TO PUSHBACK. THEY TRIED TO FORCE PC PLAYERS TO LINK PSN ACCOUNTS FOR HELDIVERS 2. THEY REVERSED COURSE DUE TO PUSHBACK #savephysicalgames #NOTBUYINGPS6

I haven’t mentioned this too much here, but recently I lost my PlayStation account and all my digital games to a hacker. But guess what? All my physical games are still sitting comfortably on my shelf. Your digital games are tied to an account, your physical games aren’t.

"I don't undersyand why people are mad"

Isn’t this you?
