@IGN Ok… but it’ll be the norm across all platforms. So why is it different when PlayStation does it, but it’s ok for Xbox, Steam, and essentially everybody but Nintendo? Although I can see Nintendo following suit down the road as well.

I’m lost and have gone to go find myself. Should I return before I get back, could you please ask me to wait?

PlayStation games are going fully digital in 2028. That's not just concerning for physical media fans - it's offensive to players everywhere. bit.ly/4vKHcYn

@DarkHeartChild7 @E4xtream @RockstarGames @PlayStation Yes, let’s help Gabe buy an entire country next.

@GamingStrangely @E4xtream @RockstarGames @PlayStation Steam is ultimately the best choice if we go down this route, if you can’t see that good luck.

Now would be the perfect time to cancel those GTA 6 pre-orders by the way.
Fuck @RockstarGames & fuck @PlayStation.

For the record, I think this is worth destroying Playstation over
Don't buy their console. Don't buy their games. Abandon their ecosystem and force them to earn you back

@Romelbrown So it’s looking like we’ll be seeing lots of empty space in online servers now… nice. I absolutely hate playing games with people I don’t know. I hope this really kills their live service dreams.

Just canceled my PS Plus subscription. Not paying for a service that keeps missing the mark. If you’re fed up too, might be time to hit cancel and make some noise. 🎮✌️

@GamingStrangely @NewJackG770 I don't need steam to play or download PC games
English
@GamingStrangely @Miketrub23 You are so stupid. The disc that holds the game is what you own. Which is why it holds actual value long term, as opposed to digital copies.
I’m not talking about purchasing actual rights to the video game, which you seem to have found with your search… you dumbass lmao
English
Would you look at that lol 3 games I purchased that was delisted from Rockstar on the PlayStation store after the Definitive version of the GTA trilogy released & I’m still able to download & play from my library. 🫠

@Victor_Lucas I’m afraid we’d just see people getting robbed and stabbed in parking lots across America. 🤷♂️

The lack of video coverage of the midnight retail launch of Grand Theft Auto VI this year will be so bloody awful. This should be a shared cultural moment. We could be seeing thousands of people around the world celebrating this together. Instead it'll be a deluge of performative selfie shots and "now downloading" progress bars. Sad.

The game industry spent its first 40 years growing (with bumps) training players how to consume, collect and enjoy videogames. It has since spent the last decade or so changing all the rules and making things very confusing for its most loyal and long term fans. I think all of this “progress” has twisted the entire modern medium into some pretty perilous positions. We are seeing the ramifications of some of these major business decisions play out in real time. I don’t understand. Killing physical media for videogames is equivalent to movie studios killing theatrical releases. It’s not just the sale of the media, it’s the IRL bump in awareness and cultural value that these products get at retail and by people seeing these brands in the real world. Game biz should stop just counting beans and start counting its lucky stars that so many people care.

@mrpyo1 Oh well… it’s the future and change is the only true universal constant. Where will all the disc lovers turn to play disc based games now that nobody will have discs going forward?
English
Just cancelled my #PlayStation Plus subscription cuz of today's news.
Yeah, it was about to expire in a few days anyway. But still.
Can't be bothered paying a subscription to the very publisher that wants to ditch physical games entirely.
Gotta send a message where possible.
English
If I were @asha_shar, today would be the perfect day to announce that Project Helix will feature full physical disc support.😏
Now that would send a message..

@kabrutusdeid Well that’s a lie. Except the clown face… that is. You really are a clown.
English
@avataryaya_ The decision was made long before GTA 6 preorders dropped but you keep lying to yourself if that makes you feel better. 🤷♂️🤣
English
This is GTA mfers' fault. y'all defend that damn series like it's your religion.
They saw those preorder numbers and went, " Yeah, see, here is the data to stop physical production needed".
English
If Playstation maintains the decision to end physical copies for games from January 2028, it means all these shops will close:
GameStop (4000+ Employees, 2000+ Stores)
GAME (3000-4000 employees, 500+ stores)
CeX (2,633 Employees, 619 stores)
Global worldwide estimates for Retailers: 12-20k Employees and thousands of stores

@ItsKiraWorld “I know the truth, but I feel better when I lie to myself.”

I blame GTA fans. This was decided before the whole GTA 6 thing, but I'm still blaming GTA dick riders

Imagine if Xbox turns around and says we’re going to continue physical discs and media now.

I am legit quitting PlayStation after they stop making physicals.
If Xbox and Nintendo follow through, I’m just fully switching to PC, because there’s no point in a console for me by then.

@ResonantJustice @Sony @PlayStation You gonna go play somewhere else? Where, by chance, were you thinking? Xbox? Steam?
English
I’ve made the personal decision to cancel my PlayStation Plus membership. I will not be renewing it until @Sony and @PlayStation reverses their decision regarding physical media/discs. I’ve been with PlayStation since the PS2; when I was a kid. No more. I’m taking a stand today.
