No more sharing discs and begging for a digital game to go on discount is scary
And so it begins. Give it some time, and we’ll come full circle again. Discs will first become old -> retro -> cool -> trending -> re-introduced in a new console generation as a new selling point.
Just think we are about too see every box store no longer selling video games at all.
They are going to screw people over so bad on there closed market.
Classic Sony bullshit. Of course they show their hand after removing 500 movies. What a sad day for gaming.
Ok, I’m out.
Just a reminder, if they ban your account, you lose your purchases and appeals are historically difficult. They can and will remove access whenever they want.
Curious what happens to game resellers like Game Stop / EB Games. They make most of their money on trade ins.
Goodbye any chance of them getting money from me for another console.
I hope all of you who think this doesn’t matter enjoy the prices on your closed wall storefront.
Sony decides to ban your account for fun? Say bye bye to your digital games
I saved money by buying second hand games and reselling them. May as well just go PC then.
And this is why we don’t support Sony. They also just removed hundreds of movies people „purchased“ digitally.
This is how you share your games on PS4

After Xbox is mostly defeated and they’re no longer competing… psych we like that xbone lock down idea.
I decided a week ago that I’m done with all of this shit. All of the greed is getting out of hand.
Ps5 sounds like my last PlayStation.
PS> Gamers me must unite! Against those who only look out for their shareholders and bottomline. Join the [Stop Killing Games](https://www.stopkillinggames.com/en) **movement**, and take back our future. We could very well legislate this problem away.
Idk how reddit works
Don’t worry guys, I’m sure they’ll pass the savings of not manufacturing, packaging, and shipping physical discs directly onto the executives‘ bonuses.
Of course, any way to control the flow of money into their greedy pockets
All they had to do was make an ugly-ass box with backwards compatibility to support their insane game library. It’s as simple as that. The hardware already exists. They own that patents to all of it. They just had to stitch it together into a single unit. But no, subscription services that everyone hates is the answer to future profitability.
Genuinely what’s the point of playing on console instead of PC now? Exclusives is still a thing I guess, but PC dominates that anyways
Remember when X-box really screwed their console release with non-transferable games? Those were the days…
Disc or not, the other annoying thing is that almost all games now require an Internet connection to just activate or download the other parts of it.
Even if I wanted to play a solo game, with no multiplayer, and don’t want to share/stream my accomplishments or game play – majority of games require an active online connection.
We are in an era where we don’t “own” anything.
We’re basically going to be paying to “rent” these games until Sony inevitably shuts down the service.
Fuck Sony, and don’t buy from a company that’s ready to do this to you!
Been with PlayStation since PS1 and they just lost me. If this is the future, i think i might have just ages out of gaming. Imagine paying $80+ for games you never own. Yuck.
so something happens to your acc and all the games you’ve purchased are gone?
The real question is if this will be Sony’s „Google Stadia“ moment… I don’t see people liking this model.
I have a PS5 Pro, so digital only, and I was thinking of getting PS6 with disc because I miss exchanging physical discs with friends. If they pivot to streaming, too, my 30 year relationship with Playstation will 100% end. Xbox or whatever has physical it will be.
F this shit.
The problem is not about going digital but what you can do about your purchase. Being a closed system, heavy DRM and they can do whatever they want is what should people talk about.
We need to star supporting DRM free stores like GOG. And I know not all games are there but we should vote from out wallet. How new games could come if not more games buy from there?
Crazy that PS4 launch won the console war simply by staying true to disc based games and the ability to share them with others and now we’re being told they want to get rid of discs altogether. What’s next, Xbox to double down on discs from 2028?
If only we had some sort of bureau that looked out for consumers and protected them from predatory and abusive business practices…
The whole concept of „owning things“ is so 20th Century. /s
I’ll get started on rebuilding my Steam Library then. Starting now. If Sony thinks I’m going to spend $100-120 AUD for every game I’m interested in going forward, they’re delulu.
fuck this.. time to get my old console and disks out that still work offline
The world gets shittier every day
Arrr, we saw this coming on the horizon. ☠️
Microsoft now has an opportunity to flip the script and do something really funny.
At least Sony has a good track record of not removing access to your digital purchases, right?
PS5 is the last console I’ll ever own, and I’ll buy games from 2022 off eBay for $10
GTAVI: You will own nothing and be happy about it!
I think for a lot of the older gaming generation, this might signal the end of their gaming days. The greed is absolutely unhinged.
It was gonna happen eventually. Just yesterday I joked about Sony not including a physical disc console at all and yet here we are.
At least it’s an easy decision to get into PCs now, so that’s something. That is if you can afford it.
If Xbox fully commits to disks, their section at all the stores is going to be way bigger. People would flock to Xbox for the physical media.
This is some anti-consumer bullshit.
Hilarious that Microsoft tried to do this years ago and they were villainized while Sony “stuck with the gamers.” Looked at as when Microsoft decline in the console wars started.
Now the mighty Sony has vanquished their foe and decided that “you know what, they were right.” Sony has always been greedy.
Didn’t they just take away digital movie purchases from peoples libraries? This is a bold announcement to make after doing that.
