You spent weeks saying "Fuck Sony."
You spent weeks saying, "Vote with your wallet."
Well, here's your chance.
If you can't stay off your PlayStation for one week, then stop pretending you want change.
Corporations aren't scared of angry tweets.
They're scared of empty wallets, empty servers, and people actually following through.

@World_Eater_88 @JoelJ_Garcia Funny because PlayStation said 2028 and Rockstar is doing it in 2026 and there are no community notes or backlash on Rockstar, just acceptance.
English

@FrostzMonkey @2099gaming Because a digital copy gives them more revenue than a physical one. You're basically content to pay up to 50% more for the same game and have nothing in return
English

STOP COMMUNITY NOTING ABOUT PLAYSTATION GETTING RID OF PHYSICALS AND ACTUALLY BUY THE FUCKIN PHYSICALS !!! MAYBE IF YALL ACTUALLY SUPPORTED THEM INSTEAD OF TELLING ME FOR YEARS WHY ITS A WASTE OF TIME THEY WOULDN'T BE DOING THIS !

Fascinating update on this from Circana: None of the seven physical PS5 games that surpassed 100,000 copies sold in the US this year reached 275,000 copies. Again: Much worse than I had initially thought. The 4% physical bump this calendar year comes from Switch 2, they say.

@gizlonk @KnealKp @ivvanex @PlayStation Ok, I get. You are for real a Linux genius. Steam has not made the gabe cube because consoles are so much better, but because they want to join the competition and have a gaming rig in the living room. As much as I like steam though, the cube is not worth the money
English

@Drei0909 @KnealKp @ivvanex @PlayStation Fuck off.
Steam has tried "big picture" for years. The console experience is lightyears ahead of PC. Steam is even trying to MAKE A CONSOLE you dumb fucking retard.
English

I'd rather spend $3,000 on a high-end gaming PC that I can upgrade every few years, than give more money to Sony and @PlayStation.
You can all enjoy your diskless PS6, your 3 exclusives, your monthly subscriptions and your dynamic pricing. I won't be here for all of that bs.
English

@Monsignor_Pipi @oliver_drk If steam goes down, you have offline mode, and if the app just stops, you can simply launch the game from your .exe file
English

@Drei0909 @oliver_drk It's not like if Steam goes down/bans your account that you can access those games from another storefront.
English

@Monsignor_Pipi @oliver_drk If steam goes down you can certainly play the games you have installed on your PC. If you download the files of the games on an SSD you can certainly play them. Steam is just a shortcut launcher, not an interface that controls everything you do.
English

@gizlonk @KnealKp @ivvanex @PlayStation A certified Linux genius here and state that a console is better than a PC. You need to take into consideration what kind of specs your PC has. You can only watch movies and play original games with a console. Tell me again how is it better than a PC?
English

@Drei0909 @KnealKp @ivvanex @PlayStation Hi!
LPIC2 certified Linux genius here. You are talking shit.
If you have a proper smartphone, you don't need a PC to do anything other than gaming.
And consoles are better than a windows PC, and so is Linux.

English

@Monsignor_Pipi @oliver_drk And also you have many other stores you can buy games from and add them to steam, unlike Sony, which will have a complete monopoly over their games and prices
English

@Monsignor_Pipi @oliver_drk That is not true, if you lose your steam account, their customer support will give it back to you in less than an hour and hand you over the hacker to do as you please with. Besides, you can burn your own physical media with steam.
English

@Monsignor_Pipi @oliver_drk Besides, I want to have something at hand when I pay more than 30/40£, and the code in the box is not it
English

@Monsignor_Pipi @oliver_drk But you cannot compare steam with Sony, let's be honest. As for the used market, I know it has no impact on their books, and that's what bothers them. They want to be the sole supplier and all the money to go through them, and this doesn't sit well with me.
English

@swissch33z @TheDezembro I, on the other hand, cannot understand why people have multiple games installed. I focus on one game at a time, play it, finish and get the platinum and uninstall. There's no reason to just sit there and take space. Chances are, you won't replay that game for a while
English

@TheDezembro That's actually insane to me that people just delete what they're not playing.
So if you suddenly decide "Hey, I want to play (old game) again", you can't just boot it up. You have to wait for it to download.
Better hope it's still available, and your save data is in the cloud.
English

The "gAmErS cHoSe ThIs" narrative trying to justify the *END* of physical media is really funny.
So is the idea that this is "physical-only crowd" vs "digital-only crowd".
The average gamer engages with both options depending on game, price and convenience and they don't want an entire chunk of the market to be terminated.
Digital is still where most purchases are made these days but the physical OPTION is clearly valued in the console world. Twitter discourse around this is fucking filled with botfarms and retards trying to create a false consensus that only like fkin 12 people are "still buying games on disc".
Why is it that SOME data gets acknowledged as player preference, but other data like the disc-console preference and the disc-drive sales doesn't??

English

@Monsignor_Pipi @oliver_drk But with physical you have more money exchanging hands, but it has little to do with Sony. Ok, they might not dictate the price, but you will never have used games with digital. And if somehow you lose your account, all your library goes with it
English

@Drei0909 @oliver_drk Yes, you can often find better deals with physical games. You can also often find better deals with digital games. The idea that digital is always going to be more expensive than physical is a fallacy.
Sony don't dictate the prices on their storefront.
English

@Monsignor_Pipi @oliver_drk And if I'm alone in this one, so be it. I'm not changing my morals just because I'm being forced to consume digital media. I survived without a PlayStation until 2018, I will survive without one from now on
English

@Monsignor_Pipi @oliver_drk You can find better deals with physical games. And speaking for myself, I have never bought a single digital game. Astro bot came pre installed with my PS5, and that's the only digital game I have. And I'm pretty sure there's many people out there just like me
English

@_Firehawke_ @ivvanex Real gamers just want to play games.
I consider myself lucky to be able to do just that at my age and I couldn’t be arsed to bother with “Do I buy physical or download the digital copy?”
I just want to play games. I don’t care how.
English

@apollofotos_ @ivvanex What would be the language?! Take them to court?!🤣
English

@HlNOMARUSUMO Calling people who want to own a physical collection disc diddlers is crazy. You are paying more than us for the same games just to rent them
English

Disc diddlers: "Sony has bribed Circana, Serkan Toto, Daniel Ahmad, Shinobi602, GameStop's CEO Ryan Cohen, former Valve writer Chet Faliszek, GameFly, IGN, Capcom, EU commissioner Michael McGrath."
Also disc diddlers: "Sony is on the brink of bankruptcy due to the boycott hitting so hard."
Writer Umberto Eco famously identified the "enemy is both strong and weak" slander tactic. The "villain" must simultaneously be an all-powerful puppet master, and at the same time a crumbling entity on the verge of collapse.
We are witnessing a level of brain rot that belongs in a museum. Thank you Sony for this comedy goldmine.
English

@Fan_Hellsing98 @NikTek It's only them ball and gun players who will carry on. I saw a post of a guy flexing he's got a new HDD for his PS5 and he had 4 cods installed. 4 which are basically the same game with upgraded visuals
English

@NikTek If anyone goes to buy PS6 you’re a huge part of the problem and helping sony for more anti consumer decisions
English

It looks like Sony doesn't want to go back to producing physical games and they don't even care about gamers backlash at this point.
Alanah Pearce (former Santa Monica Studio writer) commented on the situation "Sony already knew everyone would be pissed off" mindblowing right?
She later added that "People working within PlayStation first-party studios told me Sony had the strictest social media guidelines for this particular thing they’ve ever seen issued.”
She also mentioned that, from Sony's perspective this is worth it because selling games digitally means they'll earn about 50% more per game sold.
In short, It looks like Sony has probably told its employees not to comment on the situation at all, and they're just going with the silent treatment. Their bet is that gamers will eventually forget about all of this and switch to an all-digital future.
What is your opinion on this?

@KnealKp @ivvanex @PlayStation A pc is not only for gaming. It literally does everything a console does and more. You have no idea what a 3k PC does and it shows. My 700£ PC from 10 years ago is still running perfectly.
English

Imagine complaining about monthly subscriptions when you’re gonna pay $3000 upfront in the first place. You’re gonna have to pay 15 years worth of subscriptions upfront….Beyond the cost of a PlayStation or Xbox ….before you have any games.
If you don’t care about the money, that’s fine. I don’t care either. But let’s just not talk about the money then. That’s not that like you’re actually saving money spending thousands more upfront….
