Aka Sony: fuck you physical only gamers

It's been almost a month since Sony announced the end of PlayStation discs for new games starting in 2028, and a loud contingent of angry fans has continued to criticize the company for going all-digital. Asked about the ongoing backlash during its latest earnings call, Sony said it understands why people have strong feelings about physical games, but it's still going to move forward with getting rid of them. "There are various reasons we made this decision, the biggest being that the digitalization of content overall has been progressing, that's the big factor," Sony chief financial officer Lin Tao said through an interpreter during a Q&A on July 31. "It's not just for PlayStation, but for all kinds of content, digitalization is progressing." She continued: And so when we think about the future–and we put in a lot of thought and time, and we cautiously considered this–and we came to this conclusion, and we're going to cautiously move this forward. And to this decision, we have received various opinions and people have strong views, and we understand that the community has put forth those views to us. Games are loved by many people. It's a form of entertainment that's loved by people, and it's connected to people's fond memories in many cases. And so we understand those emotions. We want to consider that. And in the future digital ecosystem, how do we engage the gamers is something that we would like to continue to explore One investment analyst during today's briefing pressed Tau on how the end of discs will impact Sony's relationship with retailers, and how it will continue to differentiate the PS5 and upcoming console hardware from gaming PCs if both are all-digital devices. In response, Tao pointed out that publishers will still be able to ship empty boxes with codes inside to stores in markets like North America and argued that PlayStation hardware will win on affordability.

Surprised they didn't just reveal it last week at comic con

Makes sense to start revealing cast now but most of them are gonna be announced at D23, Rogue and Beast are for sure already done and ready.

I’m sure they wanted to reveal at SDCC but by that point casting was down to the wire

Oh I saw and he can continue his fall from grace

this reaIIy isn't the hiII to die on

ENORMOUS surprise that they didn't bend the knee and give up Iike wow I can't beIieve it!!!!! nothing's changed so why wouId they make any change

I absoIuteIy beIieve peopIe wiII buy the PS6 anyways peopIe bought the PS5 and it to this day has no games =\

I mean, I will most likely buy the ps6

Majority of my games are on it, and most games I want to play will be on it too

Apparently they are gonna do the same with movies and tv shows and anime with the sony core app and crunchyroll making it all digital no physical media of any kind

I will not buy ps6 and ill make sure my kid will not want a ps6 either

Ill make him want only switch 3

i'm not surprised peopIe don't care for anime bIurays rn they've been overpriced for years for the amount of content you actuaIIy get, outside of fuII season sets

Iesser of three eviIs I guess 😭

I want sony to flop with ps6 to go back to their ps1/ps2 and ps4 selves

That and no subtitles in their english dubs

Only one with physical gaming

This happens on streaming too and its so damn annoying

Give us two subtitles, one for dub and one for sub
