@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

@c57447844 @RinoTheBouncer The gaming industry isn’t making enough money because they keep selling the same recycled games over and over again and nuke studios if they underperform with original ideas

@RinoTheBouncer You people are idiots. The gaming industry isn't making enough money as it is, such that Xbox is going to die and there is a lack of risks and creativity in AAA titles. Get rid of discs means our money goes to the game makers and isn't wasted on GameStop or a second hand market.

Refuting dumb arguments against physical games🚀 🗣️“85% of players buy digital” ✅15% or even 5% in this industry is still millions of people bringing in hundreds of millions of not billions o revenue 🗣️“Netflix and Spotify ended movie and music Blu-Rays and CDs” ✅Movies are still being sold on Blu-Ray and 4K UHD Blu-Rays, and music is still released on CDs, vinyl records and even collectible cassette tapes that actually work, despite being far smaller and less demanding than video games which can go over 100GB 🗣️“I haven’t bought a physical game for 10 years! It’s obsolete” ✅Your experience with games does not automatically reflect everyone else’s. If you don’t care, don’t get in the way 🗣️“It’s expensive to make games on disc” ✅Games won’t be cheaper when man all digital. You will pay the same price for a glorified rental that can be taken any time due to licensing agreements or account loss/suspension 🗣️“You’re too broke, you want to buy second hand and resell games” ✅Being a bootlicker to corporations that don’t know you exist, does not make you any less broke than those you accuse and posture in front of behind a keyboard Physical games should always be an option. Video games are far more than just a file to download or “access” to gain. They hold sentimental value to players and collectors. Raise your voices, players, game makers, gaming and memorabilia stores. Let us overturn this predatory decision! Video games are an art form, not just a business and the value players hold for them should be honored and not reduced to a code to redeem and a download to revoke😎

@ElderScrolls Do the same for Skyrim!

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Deluxe Edition is available on a physical game card for those seeking to add to their collection! 🎁 beth.games/4v6wqKL

Exploring across Cyrodiil, you never know what physical treasures you might find... 🔍

@NoddrickShootin @ABasicAlt @_KevFigueroa_ @Lowkeychampz @TheGoblinnn They replaced the tire with a worse tire, so he’s still able to drive the car. That’s why the analogy works, they replaced some music with worse music, but it’s still playable

@ABasicAlt @_KevFigueroa_ @Lowkeychampz @TheGoblinnn You can play the game without the music. Can’t drive a car without a tire. 😂

The year is 2030. You just bought a PS6 for $1500. The only game on release is NBA 2k31, so you decide to play your old games. You arrive home, set up your PS6, and grab your beloved GTA 5 disc. You see a slot. You insert the disc. The console shakes and smokes, groans in pain, and spits your disc back out in chunks. A notification appears on your TV: buy GTA5 digital enhanced deluxe edition for 50% off TODAY ONLY! The price: $99.99. This is where modern gaming is heading.

Sony announced today that starting January 1, 2028, they will no longer make any physical games for the PS5. Let them know that you disagree! c.org/ngypz4WxzH

@Gamehero24 @SmashCasket @LootBoxGamingUS This sure looks defensive to me. We don’t have the power to change this? We’ve collectively bullied Sony into reversing anti-consumer practices before, like them attempting to shut down the PS3 store in 2020 or the whole Helldivers situation two years ago

I’m not defending I’m explaining the business side of things which matters if you want your company to make money. I already said this isn’t a good decision why do I need to reiterate that? I just bought a physical game yesterday lol. Stop crying like a bitch over things you have no control over. Also if you understand the business then you knew this was coming eventually. Same thing that happened to the CD. The chart is important cause it provides FACTS that majority of ppl do not buy physical anymore no matter how loud the few are that do 🤷🏾‍♂️ If this means you will no longer be gaming then sucks for you. Imma keep enjoying whatever games I can get my hands on in any format I can.

Shall we start with PS+ cancellations for today?

@Gamehero24 @SmashCasket @LootBoxGamingUS Why are you defending them? Recognize this for what it is: one of the most anti-consumer moves we’ve seen so far. You can like digital as a format while criticizing their blatant disregard for consumer rights

@eaglebyte22 @SmashCasket @LootBoxGamingUS IF that 20% is costing the company money than yeah. It’s called cutting costs and price of business. It sucks. But that’s how business works

@Loyt_t @LootBoxGamingUS That’s the entire market, including PC. It’s 22% of Sony’s part of the market

@LootBoxGamingUS Won't affect them since you're the minority. LMFAOOOOO
