@Dai59682214 @jill05617147 @PeteDorr @asha_shar PS is killing discs entirely. I’m not a fan of discs that are only a license, but they’re still physical media and nowhere near as bad as code in box. The point is that even if they require a download, you can still trade and sell them, unlike digital!

@jill05617147 @PeteDorr @asha_shar But… the game isn’t on it. That’s the point.

Hey @asha_shar , if you want XBOX to undisputedly become #1 in the console market for the end of this and the next console generation, you know exactly what announcement you need to make in this moment.

@TheOriginalDVKA @reeceholmes14 @gamergirlyoshi Wrong. This is PS5, Xbox is around 48%

@reeceholmes14 @gamergirlyoshi Playstation and Xbox have been digital for years aswell. There is no data on the disks , just authentication data

F@ck you Sony lol bye bye bye 👋

@TheRPGDummy I preordered the Oblivion Remaster for my Switch 2 yesterday

Be honest when was the last time you bought Music or Movies Physically Or a Book be real

@PlayStation Hard to say, but probably my PHYSICAL copy of Resident Evil 9!

We're halfway through 2026. What game has been your favorite so far?

@BoneIvar @GTAVI_Countdown I hope your favorite series gets a Netflix adaptation. Go find a tree and apologize to it for wasting all the oxygen it produces

@GTAVI_Countdown Dont care, finish the game. If they have to work 24/7 without pay, im fine with it.

Rockstar developers speak up as we approach the GTA 6 launch: - Some teams are always in crunch mode - Rockstar is trying to normalize crunch by opting out an employment regulation by default in contracts, which prohibits employers from asking to do more than extra 10 hours each week - Leaders and higher-ups at the company can enjoy flexible work, while employees no longer have the option to work remotely - Promotions are difficult to secure at the studio because they regularly shift the goalposts when career progression is discussed - The gap between median wages for different genders has widened and nightshift workers no longer receive extra benefits - There’s a lack of transparency around pay and bonuses and that the compensation falls below the market rate (Source: gamedeveloper.com/production/roc…)

@Trevornoah Exactly this, specifically the part with giving games to your siblings. I’ve given my brother a few games and am giving him two more this month. No physical means we can’t share our love of games as well as before

I completely understand where you’re coming from, but for a lot of gamers physical discs are the only way they could afford to play games because they could get them secondhand. You can also give games to your younger siblings Which is a great way to introduce them to the games you were playing. Most importantly though, as we saw from PlayStation this past week, if the media we buy is only digital, it can be taken away from us at a moment’s notice with no recourse. Imagine that, one day your entire library of games could be deleted overnight because technically you don’t own it.

@GamingStrangely @IGN Cool, you’re part of the problem then. No hate to digital, but when other people enjoy something that doesn’t affect you, why do you have to be apathetic when that thing is taken away?

@IGN The last disc based game I bought was GTA V for PS3 from a pawn shop back when I was homeless. I now own over 700 games and they’re all digital.

The gaming industry is not responding well to the news that PlayStation will stop producing game discs in January 2028. bit.ly/4oVYa3b

@IGN GOOD. Make them change their mind. We’ve bullied them before, we can do it again

@AndrewM51901 @MightyGazelle1 I’d argue 66% is a pretty good number of games not requiring a download; however, as much as it pains me to say, I’m fine with discs requiring a download if it means you can still buy used copies or trade with friends, all the other benefits of physical. Digital only sucks

@MightyGazelle1 Apparently people in the industry say that it's possible that we can but just like you I'm not going to hold my breath. Unfortunately lots of games were not being included on the disc anyways, so in a way it's been slowly ending for a long time.

This Playstation backlash is FIERCE. Like, some of the strongest I've ever seen regarding gaming. They will not reverse decision, but i do expect a statement addressing some things to "try" and save some face.

@XBOX Xbox, we need to know if you’ll continue supporting physical releases or not. Now is the time to take advantage of Sony’s misstep

Your mission: Pre-order Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 now and get Campaign Early Access, starting October 16: xbx.lv/4vFQLHM

@_NIXNE No. The only way I will is if they reverse this decision and continue to make physical games through the PS6’s lifespan. If Xbox does confirm physical for project helix, I’m switching to them

We’re all still buying the PlayStation 6 right?

@BobLamb65977913 @JoshFairhurst @DigitalEmelas I would be very disappointed if PS6 was digital only, but I do agree, PS5 should remain to have physical as an option for at least as long as games are being made for it

@JoshFairhurst @DigitalEmelas If they make PS6 digital fine. But we should still get PS5 and PS4 games till the mid 2030s.

You may remember that Sony announced the closure of the PS3 and Vita stores back in March 2021, but loud backlash caused them to delay that decision for five additional years. Hopefully the noise about discs has been just as loud and Sony calls this off for the time being. 🤞

@Martyrdomer @WZT27 @wafflesOmega AI is notorious for changing things when cleaning up audio dude

@eaglebyte22 @WZT27 @wafflesOmega It’s not JUST her voice, it’s the WAY she’s singing. The pronunciation of the OUT sounds very out of tune and a bit over sung, read my other comments, that’s why I’m sure they might do retakes or audio changes because it’s a bit overbearing the way she sings that. No ai Needed yk

I have to apologise to the P3R remixes this is the worst song oat

@Martyrdomer @WZT27 @wafflesOmega But again this is cleaned up with AI, we don’t actually know if that’s what her voice sounds like on this track

@eaglebyte22 @WZT27 @wafflesOmega It’s not about that, it’s the vocal inflection she sings at. I don’t think she is technically a bad singer,, and we know this because of Prime Time. She killed it on that,, but the remixes sound really… bad? Like the director is telling her to sing in a weird way for those.

@spicygoober @theboikenneth @IntroSpecktive I’m 100% for physical and buy only physical when there’s a physical option for a game I want. I will argue, however, that casuals don’t want physical games. It may be survivorship bias but every casual I know buys purely digital

@theboikenneth @IntroSpecktive Casuals want physical games. How you gonna surprise your nephew for Xmas now? Getting him a code in an envelope? Lame

So do Sony realize that when they drop a 1500 dollar PS6 with no physical discs to collect that everyone is just going to get PC and Steam because it’s the superior digital option or are they just really that fucking stupid

@RinoTheBouncer Physical

In the last 10 years, how have you been mostly buying video games?🚀 💿Physical 🖥️Digital Let’s go!😎

@J19_Gaming89 Gotta get a massive backlog now so when the disc apocalypse happens, I have a lot to last me a while

Pass it on! I am planning to buy physical games between now and 2028! Who's with me!? 😤🔥🔥 #PreservingGames #Playstation #Xbox #Nintendo #VideoGames #PhysicalCopies

@aevanko I honestly don’t gaf about either console’s exclusives, so I’d absolutely switch to Xbox if they do support physical media on project helix

Poll: (for PlayStation mains) if in some strange turn of events Xbox decides to support physical media for next gen, would you get an Xbox over a PlayStation? Or not enough?

@Martyrdomer @WZT27 @wafflesOmega It’s been scrubbed and cleaned up with AI, we don’t know how the song actually sounds yet

@WZT27 @wafflesOmega Bro the WAY she’s singing sounds so bad. It’s not the mixing, or the instrumental it’s just her vocals that sound so damn weird for this. Honestly might be the directors fault for making her sing this weird ass way for the remixes

@BackseatNukist @TheActMan_YT Did you read the tweet? Everybody at Sony, not gamers dude. Those at Sony who are responsible for this decision and have the power to change it, THOSE are the people that need to be harassed

The less discs you press, the more each one costs to press. Less than 15% of game players even buy discs, genius. You going to bully & harass me & all the other 90% of game players who do not buy discs? Because I am who made this decision by buying digital-only. Come on, harass & bully the 90%, tough guy.

Everyone at Sony needs to be relentlessly harassed and bullied until this decision is reversed
