@peterispeter: Gaming companies profitting billions announced they need to profit trillions or they’ll go broke #sony #gaming #ownership #physicalmedia #consolegaming

diamonddeb1987 :

This WAS PREDICTABLE. We went through this with MUSIC.

Nick E. :

and suddenly the steam machine doesn't look overpriced anymore. Sony saying that they're no longer making physical media when they're part owners of the Blu-ray platform is troubling

รק๏๏кץ :

Ive got another route, just stop buying new games in general. I dont plan on getting a new console or PC. Series X will be my last console. Ill just continue to play what I have, fuck where gaming is going.

av🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍉 :

ohh my goooooddd LET ME OWN PHYSICAL MEDIAAAAAAA

nikt :

Johnny Carrion :

I feel like this was a project 2025 thing and in project 2025 gaming was mentioned in there little book what they were going to do

Fabio Velis :

I was actually thinking of going to PC for most of my gaming needs. This announcement proved that I had the right idea.

sebasaa96 :

Ship ohoi lads, the roaming seas are calling

orientis93 :

You can't tell me that we don't have a gaming cartel right now. The three big console companies (Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony) all make the exact same moves at roughly the exact same times. They're not in competition, they're in cahoots

cluebyf0ur :

black ops 2 is still $60 on xbox and ps store, nd then on ebay it’s like $10 with free shipping 😭

HuggieFett :

That steam back log is finally gonna get played.

You.Be.You.4.Life :

Has Nintendo made a comment on something like this?

Karam :

I just don’t see myself buying anything anymore. I used to buy heavily discounted or used physical games with some occasional exceptions but I don’t feel like spending full price on a code at a store and definitely not on a digital store

That Lorelei dude :

Don't forget, god forbid the game is online, then u have to pay a subscription to play online

khajiit has comments :

guess I gotta become a PC gamer now, at least steam hasn't removed the games I've bought

Merrick :

Sold all my Sony stock today. Why would I invest in a company that hates me and my favorite hobby?

Josh :

Breaking out my old NES, SNES, N64, Genesis, etc and games

BasicFriction :

So much for Xbox redeeming itself

𝕁𝕦𝕤𝕥𝕚𝕟 :

We’ve already seen an explosion in indie devs. Look at Meccha Chameleon. Or Lethal Company, etc.

Erisen_Pistachioak :

I hate that I feel like I have to become a PC gamer specifically. Ive been a ps player since I was 8. So I’m still going to use my controller to play 😂

nikoprower :

everyone says this like it's easy. the prices of pcs and pc parts have gone sky high so only those who can spare the cash can do this. a lot of people don't have the money to boycott. I'm not saying no one should. I'm saying if you can do it, otherwise don't put yourself in debt to prove a point

Lucifer Void :

I wish more devs put their games on GOG, I love knowing I own the game and with the offline download they give you you can vurn that to a disc, or discs depending on how large the file is, and technically you have the physical game again

DreamRogue :

This, and the total monopoly of game sales on the ecosystem.

Isaiah :

I already had a foot out the door with gaming but as of now I’m out. I’ll stick to retro games

lovisa 🦒 :

no yeah yall are gonna have to not buy games in general
