>>538156023Nobody fucking cares. I stopped consuming woke tranny (((games))) a decade ago. Paying for your own brainwashing is absolute cuck behavior. In fact, there are some sissy hypno threads on /gif/ you'd probably like.
>>538156023LmaoThis industry cannot die soon enough.
>>538156023If I'm not allowed to physically own the game I buy why should I not pirate them?
Wow, that sucks, something else I'd never buy that I'll still never buy.
>>538156023u vill own nassing und u vill be häppy
>>538156023Good, no real games were made for at least 6 years now.
>>538156023Why Is this surprising?The ps5 has no games, so having disks would be superfluous.
Wow, the company which couldn't sink any lower has sunk even lower
Does this bother anyone? The fucking physical discs have been useless for a while haven't they?
pc gamers already don't use physical discs, why is this a problem?
I haven't played since ps2
>>538156023Obese DVD hoarders vindicated at last
>>538156182You SHOULD pirate them regardless of this physical disk non-issue. Giving money to big jew corps is always a bad play. Also, nothing stopping people from burning their beep boop marios onto their own disks.
>>538156023PlayStation is propped up by a boggling alliance of beaners, Slavs, and jeets. PlayStation will be the most powerful brand in the world by 2030 regardless of industry.
>>538156346Certainly a way to think about it. Everything is either once a year huge mega corp dookie drops or indie dev titles. From what I observe, itch io is like some sort of amalgamated Newgrounds for zoom zooms. They don’t have a third space like that, like we did, that is in the same vein of edgy and funny. Everything’s on a shit spectrum now.
Thank God I started collecting PS1/2/3 physical games before the coof, also some 3DS as well.I'm set for life.Looking back, I can't believe that I managed to snag Silent Hill 1-4 for average of $20 a game, also have two copies of Silent Hill 2 on PS2 (black label) for some reason.
>>538156023physical disc drive is a treasure for people wanting to build precision electronics. The laser is also pretty great all of that goes away when they shift to digital where you can barely reuse the chips.
>>538156023My PS2 doesn't care and my Mega Drive cares even less
>>538156023Ah great, surely with the reduced manufacturing costs games will be cheaper!
>>538156023You're literally paying for your own brainwashing if you consume any entertainment made nowadays. Entertainment is inherently worthless anyway and the second people realize that multiple industries will collapse overnight
>>538156023Goystation. Grow up, loser
>>538156023They will never successfully sell another console again.
>>538158006>There's no getting away from the fact that around 85% of games sold right now are digital, with physical media ever-shrinking, but this is still an absolutely enormous step, and one that will have major effects on the whole gaming industry..
Does germanic greed know any bounds?
>>538156618Wends? There is more germanigz than Wends on playstation so what are you talking about amerimutt idiot?
>>538156023The second videogame market crash can't come soon enough.
>>538156123No this is fairly huge.I put off buying the ps4 and ps5 because of their politics. Still haven't bought either. And now I will never ever again buy a game of theirs.I only buy media I can aquire offline because accounts are cancer. It just means that they don't want my money or any other fans like me... They want normies that will consume slop, which is more of a mobile games mentality. If they commit to this: steam decks will eat their lunch.
>>538156023I regret owning consoles in my life, they are a waste of proprietary time except hacking nintendo stuff
>>538156435Yes, it’s why I strictly buy Nintendo switch physical release games. When the eshop goes away I can still play them. I can play them without an internet connection.The only part that sucks is day 1 patch stuff but there are ways to archive them.Anyone who grew up with early consoles can take any of their games and play them on a NES, Sega, or PS1/2 without issue today. Will you be able to say that with all these consoles that require logins and downloads?
>>538159590>(((germanic)))nice try
>>538156435Pretty much every game needs to be installed to run properly.Disc I/O simply isn't anywhere near as fast as the SSD.
>>538156023"if ownership isn't possible piracy is inevitable" - Yuffie
>>538158006The most played games on PS5 are free-to-play titles that don't come on disc anyway.
>>538156123fpbppost-30 gamers are the disney adults of men
>>538156023play cucks deserve thisand don't forget that ps is basically apple of games, they have really low skill and standards. the less interaction with tech they have the more they pay
Consoles having discs and much lower prices were the only reason to get them. Gabe did nothing and will probably win again. If consoles are just pcs now, I’ll just buy the pc I can actually upgrade and get free games on
>>538156023LOL and Sony made a commercial mocking Microsoft making the same announcementhttps://youtu.be/kWSIFh8ICaA
>>538156595>You SHOULD pirate them regardless of this physical disk non-issue. Giving money to big jew corps is always a bad play. Also, nothing stopping people from burning their beep boop marios onto their own disks.Even better than this is not playing video games.
>>538156922>I played a game and now I'm heckin brainwashed Some of you fags are so histrionic
>>538156922>You're literally paying for your own brainwashing if you consume any entertainment made nowadays. Entertainment is inherently worthless anyway and the second people realize that multiple industries will collapse overnightAnon is right.The entertainment industry is parasitic. It offers nothing of value.
>>538156248Returnal was good. Should've made the astronaut cuter though.
>>538156023Steam wins again
>>538156023Playstation died when the vita died.
>>538161387Vita was a corpse twitching.More like when the psp died.
>>538156023Modern consoles are just shitty PCs that you have to pay a monthly fee to play online, what's the point of them
>>538156182If you download it and save it to a hard drive, isn't that the same thing as owning a physical copy?
>>538156023I havent bought a disc sinceGTAV for PS3. My PS5 doesnt even have a drive and not once have I ever missed it.
>>538161540Not having a big ass tower in a room with a faggy rainbow keyboard and chair is nice.
>>538161573You get a jumbled mess of codes.You can't extract it and use it any time you wanted as a physical disks
>>538161691Games saved to hard drives get the code jumbled up? You can't swap between games that are saved on a hard drive?I don't think either of those are right, zoomers be making shit up just to cry about
I mean who the fuck even owns a disc drive in 2026?
>>538156435>discs have been uselessYou can borrow or resell discs, plus you don't need to trust companies not to simply end your account for whatever reason.
>>538161911This. I still have my old discs for ps3 though I have long since abandoned the account. I couldn't get it back if I tried.
>>538161760You can install it , yes.You can store it a hard drive what you installed yes.BUTIf you want to put the data on any other storage and use it on that storage it becomes pretty rough.That's why the physical such as CD storage superior.Btw if the buying ain't owing then pirating ain't stealing.
>>538161573>plug hard drive on any other console>whoops it seems your account is not authorized to play this game!>pay $59.99 to access it!
>>538161573Can you resell your digital crap?
>>538161621You don't have to have any of that though to game on PC. Just shows how uneducated you are on the matter.
>>538162016> If you want to put the data on any other storage and use it on that storage it becomes pretty rough.Why would I want to have a game on 2 hard drives? Do you have multiple CD's for one game?
>>538162041>Sorry anon the license we had expired, so we remove your games and movies from your library >Sorry but no refund, thanx for the money
>>538156023People still buy console games?
>>538162041This happens with CD games too though, so what exactly are you crying about?
the world you grew up in no longer exists
>>538156023What's the point of having a console then?
>>538162101If you don't have to have all the gay accessories, why do PC gamers always have them?
>>538162179>being this fucking retardedObvious gen alpha who's never even seen a disc irl
They are gonna end themselves with this.
>>538156452The problem is all the loyal Sony fans who spent 2 decades buying up the hardware just had the bottom drop out from under them, and PC fags and picking up all the change falling out of their pockets during the fall. As a PC fag, yeah sure whatever i trust Steam and steam only. But if i wad a Sony fag. Who bought every playstation 1-5 i would be insanely pissed. I turned to PC in 2016 because I saw this trajectory coming a decade away
>>538156141This.
>>538160882This. Dont drive a car or use an AC while you are at it. All these things hurt the envirement. Remember the kikes want you buying their masterpeice movies and games and expensive cars. Stick it to Mr. Sheckleberg and dont use an AC or eat meat
>>538162244My first console was my parents' 2600 before we got a SNES in 1997
>>538159590It's Japanese.
>>538160528Why not play those games on PC then?
>>538161691>what is binary with cue file>what is iso
Part of the problem is the blind devotion to steam which has always been disc-less which made this a standard norm for over two decades. Retards getting mad any time a steam competitor came out or people suggesting people stop using steam and buy physical.
>>538162569Did you download your game from sony in a iso format?
>>538162348Oy vey
>>538156023Gamers are the biggest subhumans, but they're too integrated into online culture for anyone to accept it.
>playing outside is better than video games>cartridges are better than CD'sRetards cry the loudest
>>538162348can you explain meat and AC without sounding full schizo?
>>538162445I built my rig in 2022, had several gaming PCs before that.Most people are creatures of habit. They don't hook a gaming PC up to their big TV, they have a console hidden in a cupboard for that.Sometimes a PC is just for business for them and they don't think to play games on it.Other times it's kids playing their Roblox or Fortnite on the device their parents can trust them not to delete the system folder from.Also in the case of a Destiny 2 and other live-service game, the whole point of them is to be perpetually expanded through downloadable content.The physical release is utterly incomplete.Ironically that's what made me not want to play Destiny 2, it'll never be complete and by the time it is complete they pull the plug and you can't play it.Fuck that business model.It's something that leads people to the belief that a physical release can always be played but it's not that simple with today's slop.It'll always be incomplete unless you get the DLC somewhere.
>>538162730You can rip the games to iso format, yes.They'll be encrypted but that can be decrypted and the jumbled code turns into a simple file structure.
>>538156023consoles are computers. emulators and piracy gets better when the industry gets too stupid.it happened with music and movies, it'll happen to gaming too.
>>538163034No no you misunderstand. If all the popular games on PS5 are online free to play. I need you to convince me, a young guy with disposable income, to buy a PS5 and not a PC. What can you tell me to convince me.
>>538162137>MoonlightNooo, not the gay nigga porn!
PHYSICAL FOREVA
>>538160347What was that online platform that shutdown? Funimation? Everyone lost their digital library.
>>538156023If Stellar Blade Blood Rain doesn't come out on disc I'm not buying itI'm done
>>538156023It’s wild to me that the limiting factor to good games being built wasn’t hardware hitting an upper limit but dev competency going to the gutter. The great games from devs we were getting in the 2000s could had only dreamed of being able to make games with the power we have today, modern devs just use the extra power so they don’t have to optimize anything
