PlayStation Store’s Summer Sale goes live tomorrow: play.st/4aUu4HL

PlayStation Store’s Summer Sale goes live tomorrow: play.st/4aUu4HL


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💿

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

PlayStation say 80% of games bought are digital instead of physical. So let me ask, are you pro digital or physical (and why)?
