More reports why Sony is trying to end physical discs: - They want to cut out the middle man, to make more profit per sale (like remove walmart cuts etc) - Sony thinks the fanbase will not switch platforms, they can do what they please without losing fans - They are convinced by ignoring this issue, they fans will just accept the changes and convert to 100% digital with time. - Sony thinks they are "too big to have commination with fans". Talking to fans has no margin benefit, so they refuse to address fans and will keep doing so I have lost all trust and goodwill with PlayStation, no words what is happening right now. Horrible company

REPORT: Jason Schreier on PlayStation’s decision to end physical game media🚀 ✅Sony considers their digital player base is large enough to do without those who continue wanting physical discs ✅They won’t change their retail distribution ✅Stores sell empty boxes with only download code ✅They’re convinced that over time, players will accept a 100% digital gaming future ✅They don’t think it’s necessary to maintain contact with fans ✅They trust the strength of their brand and the loyalty of their community, and imagine they will continue to support their digital games Regarding profitability: ✅When Sony sells a first party physical game to a retailer, the retailer gets around ~30% of the sale price ✅Digital helps them keep 100% of it ✅They expect to significantly increase their profit margins This is absolutely disgraceful to read if true. I’m genuinely repulsed by Sony💿

Jason Schreier compartió nueva información sobre el futuro del formato físico en PlayStation: ▫️ Sony considera que su base de jugadores digitales ya es lo suficientemente grande como para prescindir de quienes siguen comprando juegos en formato físico. ▫️ La compañía no cambiará su modelo de distribución minorista: las tiendas seguirán vendiendo cajas, pero estas solo incluirán un código de descarga. ▫️ Actualmente, cuando Sony vende un juego físico First Party a un minorista, este obtiene alrededor del 30% del precio de venta (70 dólares). Con el formato 100% digital, Sony pasaría a quedarse con la totalidad de esos ingresos. ▫️ Como resultado, la empresa espera aumentar de forma significativa sus márgenes de beneficio. Información adicional de otros reportes: ▫️ Sony estaría convencida de que, con el tiempo, la mayoría de los jugadores terminará aceptando la transición hacia un ecosistema 100% digital. ▫️ La compañía cree que los usuarios seguirán apoyando a PlayStation incluso sin la opción de comprar juegos físicos. ▫️ Además, consideran que no es necesario mantener una comunicación directa con los fans sobre esta decisión, ya que confían en la fortaleza de la marca y en la fidelidad de su comunidad.
