Playstation will stop disc production in 2028https://blog.playstation.com/2026/07/01/physical-disc-production-ending-in-january-2028-for-new-games-releasing-on-playstation-consoles/
Sony is the gift that keeps on giving HAHAHA
Name a more raped hobby than modern gaming
TOTAL GAMER HUMILIATIONYOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY ABOUT IT
this means they will be a tiny bit cheaper as they skip the disc manufacturing process, right?
>>742335032woah lets not be antisemitic here
>NOOOOOOOOO MY CAR DOESN"T HAVE A VHS PLAYER ANYMORE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOwho cares you old fucks
>>742335032no they're going to maximum jew you. Atleast Nintendo produces thier own carts still despite that stupid keycard shit. Sony really asking people to surrender Physical lets see how well that goes for them.
>>742335032Yea sure
>>742335032The reason that games haven’t increased in price relative to inflation is because of digital distribution being cheaper. If publishers still had to manufacture big boxes with discs and manuals then your average video game would be 110$
Will they lower prices since they don't have to make disks and pay shipping costs
>>742335480Hahaahahhaaha
>>742334840Last physical game I bought was Doom 3 in 2004Future is now old man
>>742335289Nintendo also charges more for physical though. They didn‘t do that with the switch 1
>>742335032>cheaperdelet this hate speech right now
>>742335032Heh, now they don't have to make excuses for charging the same amount for digital as they did physical
https://youtu.be/kWSIFh8ICaAHow the times have changed.
>>742334840welcome to 2004
>>742334840>Only Playstation>Sony's other entertainment sectors will continue to manufacture physical media for the foreseeable futureThis is why Sony's music division refuses to allow Playstation to publish any Fate-related media.
What if the industry isn't too big to crash again though...?
>>742335623they're gonna private this video soon
>>742334948carsthis is a real Ferrari by the way
>>742335714I like that colour
>>742335032This isn't Nintendo we're talking about.
PC gamers already abandoned physical thanks to based Valve decades ago, why are console gamers luddites who refuse to move on?
>>742335798digital on PC is acceptable because piracy guarantees you can own every singleplayer game forever
>GKC WILL DESTROY PHYSICAL MEDI-AAACK
>>742334840Digital games cost just as much a physical discs. Digital games were always a scam.
>>742334840Not my problem
>>742334840Honestly this is kinda liberating in a weird way because i often used to buy games 2 or even 3 times just for the physicals and now i‘ll only ever buy them digitally once
>>742334840holy shit that one skitzo dude who always complains about steam not having physical game copies is gonna lose his mind now
>>742335747the color is nice, and to be fair the Luce is far from the worst new car abomination, it's actually pretty tolerable compared to what many other manufacturers are doing
>>742335994GKC will be the harbinger of this happening on the Switch ecosystem. But probably for the Switch 3 when that goes digital only. The main takeaway from this imo is that the PS6 is 100% digital only. Maybe you can buy an attachment to play PS4/PS5 discs on it but that's it.
>>742334948> My shitty AAA western studios are the entirety of gamingnope
>>742336179This looks like an enemy from descent
>>742334840IT'S ALL YOU NIGGER'S FAULT, KEPT BUYING DIGITAL MEDIA, PLAYING LIVE-SERVICE, ALL WHILE BLAMING NINTENDO WHO WERE THE LAST ONES TO MAKE YOU PAY FOR ON-LINE AND WILL BE THE LAST HOLDOUT OF PHYSICAL GAMING, THEY EVEN GAVE YOU AN ALTERNATIVE TO DOWNLOAD CODES WITH GKC!!! CONGRATULATIONS NOW THE SECOND HAND MARKET IS DEAD AND PUBLISHERS WILL DICTATE PRICES FOR YOU!!! GOTTA HOPE PUBLISHERS WILL BE MERCIFUL ENOUGH TO PUT GAMES ON SALE WHICH FROM NOW ON WILL BE MUCH LESS COMMON AS THEY DON'T NEED TO INCENTIVIZE DIGITAL ANYMORE!!! GAMING ISN'T MOVIES OR MUSIC THE DEATH OF PHYSICAL WILL BE 100X MORE CATASTROPHIC!!!
>>742335032I love how 99% of you gamers are completely blind to the world of inflation surrounding you - mom still buys all the groceries for you, huh?
>>742334840Seems like a good opportunity for Xbox to earn some goodwill by keeping their physical games around. Sony is doing tons of shit to piss it's customers off right now and Microsoft could recover a lot with a few good moves
>>742336317Xbox doesn‘t do true physicals for the most part. Most of their games require downloads to be playable
>fetishising bits of plastic that do nothing but take up limited space in your roomI bet you faggots also have funkopops and NES games you overpayed for lining your shelves too
>>742336317Microsoft seems perfectly happy to let me purchase OG Xbox games digitally. Meanwhile, Sony:https://blog.playstation.com/2026/07/01/an-update-on-playstation-store-for-ps3-and-ps-vita/
>>742336317Why would they care about physical games production if they are on their way out of the gaming market..?
>>742336554the raped
>>742336064Gives meaning to the saying "pile of shit"Holy fuck that is a lot of boring trash, I see maybe 6 actual good games and the rest is just shit to pad out your empty shelves with, or multiplats that are just inferior experiences on the system altogether.
>>742336198TBF Nand prices are also sky rocketing because of AI slop so I guess in hindsight Nintendo made the right call with GKCs because at least with those you can sell and loan them, and they wpuldn't be affected by NAND prices since they have no data on them.
>>742335032
>>742335032cool it with the antisemitic remarks
>>742336554i bet you are a jew
PS6 HAS NO GAMES
Not dead on my Switch 2
>>742336878Yeah, NAND is hit by the same memory price increase as everything else which is most likely why we're seeing the price of physical games on Nintendo's ecosystem raise by $10. Digital being "$10 cheaper" is a good way to get people to buy digital as well though so they're more willing to buy a digital only Switch 3 in the future. I think most of us have assumed this would be the last physical gen when the Series S and PS5 digital models were revealed but it still sucks to see those fears realized.
>>742334948still comics
>>742334840good,let it die. i hate physical media.
>>742335289Don't worry, Nintendo will stop making physical games in a few years and you'll defend that too!
>>742334840They had games to release?
>>742336317They know which way the wind is blowing, discs are going extinct and it just happens to be Sony getting rid of them first.
>>742335032stop being so antisemitic anon
Nintendo proving dominance again. Soon enough Nintendo will be the only one with physical license. Yes, that includes key cards which is more than a Steam or Sony user will ever own lmao
>>742337376see >>742337184
Piracy solves all the problems with digital only gaming
>>742334840>as consumer preferencesI'm sorry, according to who? LmaoJust go ahead and say you're doing this to save on manufacturing costs & have full control of a user's library
>>742337376Don‘t physical nintendo games run worse than the digital versions?
>>742337479no? did nintendeen tell you that?
>>742337136>I hate owning thingsWhy are you so cucked?
>>742334840we can't stop winning, sisters.
>>742337562Pretty sure physical games do have longer load times
>>742334948Pretty much every hobby related to electronics because techbros are insufferable.Cars look awful are filled with spyware thats easy to databreach and are as bloated as modern windows.Cardgames are whoring themselves out to ethier other ips or to scalpers.Sports is decimated by betting lobbying flooding gambling ads everywhereCinema is big studios remaking worse renditions of old films with godawful writers, filled with such pretentious morally posing hacks they can make you hate things you originally agree with.Crafts are ruined by printer enshittification, paint selections being thinner every year while models are made cheap sold high. Foodies and fashionistas are fucked because the highstreet is dead, fastfood aint fast, aint cheap and its properties are bland and brutalistmaxxing, thrift has been comerciallized to the point there are no real alts anymore.Renovation? Lmao noones got homes. Noones buying your homes.
zoomers cant trade games anymore big loss for humanity
>>742337610>owning thingsconsole physical is not true ownership
>>742337826load times is not running worse and thats true for disk games too
>>742335032If by tiny bit cheaper you mean substantially more expensive, then yes.
Will this be the thing that finally kills Gamestop?
>>742338074>load times is not running worseOf course it is. Load times are part of performance>thats true for disk games tooIt isn‘t because consoles don‘t actually read the off the disc to play the game anymore. Instead the content of the disc is copied to the hard drive so it runs identical to digital games
>>742334840CUNTS
>bread quickly growing unaffordable and quality nosediving>circuses quickly growing unaffordable, and quality nosedivingnext decade is going to be interesting
>>742338173No it isnt, running worse are things like fps dips or input lagFair on the second point
>>742338172Gamestop is based on pure retardation so the stock is probably going to moon again and sustain it for another decade
>>742338074Games literally don't run from disc drives anymore because the bandwidth isn't high enough to properly stream assets, most games these days require an SSD install or they'll freeze and stutter.
>>742334840I actually like this practice because the less plastic the better. The price though? Do these people know some of their consumers are paying their hourses and monthly bills?
>>742338239See >>742338259Trying to run a game off a disc drive causes horrible stuttering as the game tries to stream assets.
>>742337126comics were always nigger loving fag agenda jewish goy slop though
>>742337479they dont run "worse" only slightly longer load times, but they can have the issue of not being fast enough in which case the full cart gets skipped entirely in favour of GKCs like with FF7 rebirth. disc based games solved this by having the files on the disc be installed onto the console storage because obviously disc reading is slow as piss. Nintendo basically skips the cart-to-storage thing altogether by downloading directly from servers, which also bypasses any accounts unlike a conventional digital game. at the end of the day, your license is still yours and not bound to any account and the second market benefits from this
>>742338227theyre simply transitioning to a new type of bread and circus, cattle
>>742337184This, meme cards were implemented just to boil the water slowly
>>742335714>Ferrari logo everywhereFerrari is a jeet brand now. The have to scream "LOOK SAAR I HAVE THE MONEY SAAR LOOK I'M RICHER SAAR" to everyone, it's in their biology.
so where's the tendie that was arguing pic related had no impact on hardware manufacturers willing to even make physical?
>muh load times! do people not realize this is about losing the ability to own, preserve, or play these games in the future? If there are no discs, your console has no disk drive, and they take the storefront down or make the content unavailable, these games are practically gone. being dependent on mods or cfw to even play a game you purchased is dystopian
>>742335032Right...We need antitrust lawsuits against these companies, as what they've claimed about digital being cheaper has been a complete lie
every day seems to be a new level of head scratcher from Sony and MS recently
>>742338675pretty sure you can still redownload PSP games
>>742334840>mfw outside of Nintendo, I've pretty much already entered the digital only age due to mainly gaming on PC these daysConsole only players are in for a jarring experience
>>742338778yes, until you can't. every little concession here is incredibly anti-consumer and weakens the value of your purchase and rights to own what you paid for
>>742338894>yes, until you can'tyou know this applies to Steam too right?
>>742334840Hey! Remember when everyone was saying that Nintendo was going to do this because of game key cards? I hate ponies so much
>>742338991of course it does. I'm not defending steam, either. digital only is a predatory practice that removes ownership and optionality. The only thing PC has going for it is that piracy is usually substantially easier
>>742338009>muh licenceNo-one cares. You own the disc, you can play it without online access, you can lend it to people and you can sell it. Arguing for digital only is to suck corpo cock.
>>742336851>I see maybe 6 actual good games6 more than in playstation
>>742339019>tfw no Monster Hunter 4U on the Vita
>>742334840>PHYSICAL IS OFFICALLY DEADNintendo carries the flame. With real game cards. Discs are dead though. Rightfully so.
>>742339091the game is encrypted and you can't use it without specific drm tied to specific hardware
gta 6 was just showed propely and already pushes not one, but two jew shit... it would be huge dissapointment and gta in name only
>>742339210>well you need a key to drive your own car, so you should just ride the bus
>>742335032>this means they will be a tiny bit cheaperlollmao even
>>742334840Honestly physical is the last and only reason I still own consoles, it's also pretty much the only way I still buy games. If that's gone I'm going 100% PC and 100% pirate. At least the gamecuck cards still allow for buying used, trading, reselling, lending your games, with a digital download code it's maximum cuckoldry
>>742334840BASED. please cause the second crash. please kill this dogshit industry!
I think the state of this industry is legitimately starting to depress me.
>>742334840I guess if you want physical games you have to go to nintendo now
>>742334840Snoys will continue to support sony anyway.
>>742335032lol no
>>742334840good, now i can stop caring about new games and retreat into retro
>>742339309more like you're buying a car and you're not allowed to open the fucking hood and the car locks up if you ever do that
>people can’t afford groceries>3x the cost of a console, 2x the cost of gamesWho do they think is going to buy this shit
>>742335032This post is an attack on our democracy and Judeo-Christian values.
>they will close the store on PS3 and PS Vita>SAME day they announce there will be no more physical games>a month before they said you have to log in every 30 days to use your gamesKeep it going I'm lmaoing all day
>>742334840>the one thing consolekeks had over pc will be taken from themIt's grim but I'm still laughing.
>>742335289>1000+ dollars digital only no games boxGuaranteed bomb>tfw Sony will die in your lifetime
helix disc drive status?
>>742334840This is some of the biggest news because we were already having discussion about how GTA 6 not having a disc being retarded. Normalfags defended paying 100$ with no disc and preordered in droves with no gameplay shown. Now Sony killed discs and the PS6 will probably have no disc drive either. Nintendo and Microsoft will probably announce the same too eventually so physical is dead.
>>742339919Didn't they walk it back and said it would only be a one time check after 14 days? Still, a one time check is one too many but regardless
>physical is deadYeah cause people don't want it. Look at this. >>742338623Why should they keep making physical
>>742340010Xbox has the chance to do the funniest shit ever, but they won't, unless someone based buys them
>>742339947In a way I'm grateful that I know I'm missing absolutely nothing on consoles now.
>>742338623>>742340151>Distribution method That's not sales lolJust because companies started cheaping out here, doesn't mean it's "what people want".
>sony leadership meeting notes get posted>one of the major bullet points is less growth but making users pay more per person>Sony announces they are dropping physical>but that cost saving 100% is not being passed onto the consumer>mfw
>>742339210>sucking corpo cock
>>742336296That's why you play on pc, if the prices are too high people just pirate it. They can never gain 100% control till they remove hardware entirely and make everything streaming.
>>742340051GTA was always a way to introduce the most amount of anti consumer practices by making them acceptable, $100 dollars, no actual physical edition, it keeps on giving. That's gonna be its legacy, fuck you in the ass because you will buy it anyway.
So how bad will tomorrow's Famitsu thread be?
>>742340461>famitsu threadgee, I have no idea.
>>742340383your larping about ownership fails when it's tied to a drm box you don't actually own
>>742334840Who cares, digital games are easier to steal
>>742340010if they do a uno reverse that sony did to them with the playstation disk meme they will win a fuck load % of players to their console if i was that jeet woman my main advertisement of the next Xbox would be you can buy your games physically on our platformthat would be my main push
>>742339152>tfw no games on the Vita
>>742338623>muh tendieYou're the one getting fucked you retard
>>742334840The PS6 will still sell 100mYou goyim cannot help yourselves, if you see it on the side of a bus then you buy it
>>742340648>game removes exploit in content update
>>742340793>The PS6 will still sell 100mAhhahaha. The PS6 will cost at least $1200. Ain't no-one paying that for a discless console.
>>742335032lollmao
>>742340720but i'm noti'm already on pc and can have raw game files with no drm anytime i please
>>742340954>Uses windows>"no drm"(you)
>>742340374I love Sony because it makes me laugh at snoys
>>74234034990+ on xbox, 85+ on ps, even nintendo is 60+ digital, even if you don't like it doesn't mean you have to be retarded and not acknowledge it
>>742340505The last two weeks have been nothing but a barrage of bad news for both Sony and the western gaming industry as a whole, so our resident anti-Japan anti-Nintendo schizos will be either very busy blaming Nintendo for Sony's decision, or too demotivated to even try, with a small sprinkle of Deen's new video blaming Nintendo because of course he will.
>>742340793There's absolutely nothing Sony can do to stop snoys giving them money. No exclusives, log in every month to use their own games, removing shit from their accounts, BLM messages, shit woke games, NOTHING will stop them. They resort to claim multiplats as exclusives as long as they don't appear even on one platform nowadays.
>>742341117>blaming nintendo and japanYou forgot steam. Look at the catalog and see a dozen threads about Gabe killing physical all made minutes apart from each other.
So this probably means we will never get rid of GKC, fuck it I'll get everything on PC, consoles serve no purpose anymore other than Nintendo exclusives.
>>742341247He did that in 2004 so it clearly had no effect. This is all on Sony, Microsoft used to be the ones doing the shitty things first but Sony is to blame now.
>>742338172>killsSaves, people will be flocking back to retro gaming as emulation is free and talk is king, new games are now only for the elite and will be awful but because retro will always be more expensive overall it'll carry GameStop because influencers will chase it like they currently do and more random games will suddenly moon because of 1 video essay
>>742341247I like steam way better than nintendo but they’re right that steam was the first to kill physical on PC. That being said, the only ones to blame are gamers. Steam took over because PC-Rom discs sucked ass. Sony very likely has the number to back up their decision. Nintendo is staying on the physical train because physical has a higher sales ratio compared to the other consoles
This lines up with Playstation giving up on growing and focusing on squeezing every cent out of its existing userbase by doing as much cost saving and nickel diming as possible.
>>742341030What are you trying to say? I don't speak ESL.
I’m just so tired, tired and sad and angry all the time now
>>742341017>Uses windowsthat's where you're wrong
To be fair discs are just a waste of plastic in the digital age. But this wont benefit the consumer at all and is just another jewish trick.
>>742341608They clearly have a ceiling of 100m which is far from the one on the PS2 as most PC users are not coming back and new people are just joining with the Switch 2 as they realize they don't need anything else and the price difference is gigantic.
>>742341247Yeah, I just took a peek and it's both that a whole bunch of frogniggers.
>walk into a store in 2028>gaming section is 80% Nintendo>15% Xbox>5% sonyGrim
>>742334840Why has everything in the Western world gotten worse over the last decade, well, at least for the average pleb?
Sell your PS5 immediately and make the switch to PC, the PS6 won't have a disc reader so you won't be able to play your library on the next gen.
>>742341737>and new people are just joining with the Switch 2 as they realize they don't need anything elselol?
>>742341860lmao even, snoys are getting absolutely desperate while their console is 1 grand with no exclusives, at that point people prefer a PC that plays games better
>>742336317What games?
>>742336317Remember when Sony went woke and Xbox had the chance to be the last bastion of gaming but decided to go even more woke? Lolmao, they will probably stop physical media even before to ensure they have absolutely no advantages and then keep releasing Halo on PS5.
>>742334948Trading cards
Snoys are absolutely filling the catalog shitting on every company except Sony lmao.
So, it just says "Playstation," right?Does that just mean their shitty titles, or is this for every game released on a PS console going forward?I'm sure it's the latter, but does every third party want this as well?
>>742342747publishers make 40% more money on digital copies and they don't lose revenue from reselling
>>742342747The new console will not have the option to read discs.
whos at fault here the goyanzas
>>742342809True enough. I just for once would like to see one fucking company be even remotely pro-consumer, but that's asking too much nowadays.>>742342837That's where we've been heading.
>>742342634People will shit on Sony but Xbox will 100% follow suite and game store have to somehow support themselves on exclusively Switch 2 games meaning it will get way less customers then before. 3rd party will also likely opt for the game key cards or maybe physical only on switch 2 now that game retailers are certainly going to die off. You are seeing a blockbuster/netflix level event
>>742342837Not only that, PS5 games from 2028 won't be on discs either.
>>742342747Sony manufactures all PS5 discs regardless of game. If Sony stops, everyone else is shit out of luck
>>742336179Batmobile for soccer moms
>>742335930So just never buy games on PC?
>>742342929At least I'm missing out on absolutely nothing on Steam now.
>>7423429293rd party will also likely opt for the game key cards or maybe digital* only on switch 2
>>742340448*Digital ID laws ENTERS*What now, goy
>>742342747>I'm sure it's the latter, but does every third party want this as wellProbably not, most game sales are physical after all.
>>742343083This is already happening.
>>742342747Sony is the ones who makes the discs, so it's completely over. GTA was the trojan horse.
uh oh, guess console plyers dont really own their games either LOL
>>742343093This hasn't been true for like 10 years.
it will be interesting when they realize that the games they bought on a disc for the ps5 wont be usable on the ps6 because it doesnt have a disc driver
>>742343087so? go linux ID means nothing
>>742343216Oh no, they'll gladly sell you an add-on disc drive.
>>742343216>buying an all digital consoleso a locked pc? ill just steal games on pirate bay and shit at that point or buy them uber cheap after decades
>>742343162It's true to this very day.You've fallen for reports that include digital only games, dlc and MTX
>>742336554In case you're not shitposting, there is an entire market around physical/used games. One of the biggest things console had over pc was that you could easily trade/lend games to your friends, sell them after you're done with them, and find them in a 5-dollar bargain bin.That market is now kill.
>>742343093there was a thread about this in May.
>>742343391>third partyReading clearly isn't your strong suit. Not to mention Sony doesn't exactly have any games to sell.
>>742335032haha yeah, like how they became cheaper even after mtx and seasonal battlepasses escaped f2p containment. and then got cheaper again with AI! woohoo!
I have JB PS2, JB PS3, JB PS4, JB PS5, Goycuck PS5 Pro and PC. I am ready for the end of gaming
>>742338623>make games either digital only or digital early access >gamers buy digital >"LE WOW GAMERS PREFER DIGITAL! IT'S RIGHT THERE!" Shut the fuck up retard.
>>742343103>or maybe digital* onlynope
>>742343391Anon, that's still including digital only games you fucking retard.
I can still buy games made 20 years ago on Steam but you won't be able to on PlayStation.
Hey, look at it this way: the world isn't going to be around in 2028, so it's all a moot point anyway.
>>742334840PS6 will die like XBone
>>742343635that's what i said almost 10 years ago
>>742343635Yeah
>>742336064>half are games made for children Forever childless freaks lol lmao
>buy indie games>not the best but at least mid-tier short experiencewhy the fuck are people even bothering with AAA
>>742343635lol, lmaoAs if God would be so merciful to put us out of our misery
If there is no physical game then piracy can't be stealing
>>742341117Deen hates Japan so much lol.
>>742334840First they take away manuals, now discs too?
Surely the console will be cheaper without a disc drive, right? The disc-less PS5 was cheaper, or will they use the "rising cost of RAM" to offset that?
>>742335714Ok and?
>>742334840Sony so committed to the nogaems policy, they will literally stop printing discs.
>>742343569>most games aren't digital because... lots of games are digital only!???
>>742334840
>>742336851>>742343757>DOES NOT COUNT!!!any more cope, snoyim?
>>742343982
>>742343757those are all children's games anon
>>742343874Buy you can still get a nice empty plastic case with a one time use digital code inside to put on your shelf and pretend like you actually own the game
>>742337826it's like 1 second longer nigga, you don't even notice it
I just don't understand the big fuss over this. We fought this battle in gen 7. Games haven't been physical since then, every single game is just an installation because discs can't read fast enough to support even basic hdd installs, much less SSDs.Do people really thing call of duty that comes on one disc is actually on there? When the game is like 250gb?
>>742334840They should just rename steam.exe to playstation.exe and be done with it
>>742344107 >having to install games before you play them means you don't own themno
>>742344107Well i like being able to go into a store and buy a used copy of a game for $20 rather then full price on sony's digital store. Now thats gone.
>>742344107>look this AAA bullshit misuses discs so every game must
>>742344107>options are... LE BAD
>>742344172yes.The data isn't on the disc, the game has to be downloaded. I guess I worded it poorly.Besides the indie-est of indie slop, no game FITS on a disc, much less could be read from it.
>>742344078We need to protect the environment, so no more plastic cases, but biodegradable ones made from food waste.For the Players
>>742334840How did snoys not see this coming? There's a reason there was a digital only PS5. They always wanted to do this. They will save a lot of money but will charge you the same or maybe even more.
>>742344107it's only luddite console pigs bitching about their future lack of plastic garbage to fill their bedroom up with
Say it
There won't be any games in 2028. There won't be electricity or running water either.
>>742344229>optionsyou mean>buy game A digitally>download itversus>buy game A physically>bring it home>stick disc in, it has to download and install it that waylol
>>742344107Because if you have a disc, you can at least sell it or lend it to someone. Also, how can anyone buy a game as a gift for anyone without physical media? Gift cards? Kinda sucks, though I'm willing to bet zoomers would prefer that.
>>742344172You get a shitty beta testing version filled with bugs because games have day 1 patches that download while installing.
>>742344246>The data isn't on the disc, the game has to be downloaded.This isn't true for a majority of games.
>>742344320>stick disc in, it has to download and install it that wayNever bought a game that did this.
>>742344261FAT FUCK YOU RUINED THE WORLD
>>742344261Fat bastard
>KOSA mass surveillance laws and now thisThe idea of being off-grid hermit sounds more and more appealing these days. I need to get a PC and pirate everything before it's too late.
>>742344320>it has to installyes>it has to downloadno
>>742344320>what is buying used games for cheap>what are sales at whatever retailer you prefer>what is letting a mate borrow a game
>>742344261I'm sorry Gabe, now PC has no downsides. I'll leave behind the 30 fps pleb world and join you.
>>742344246>The data isn't on the disc, the game has to be downloaded. I guess I worded it poorly.Anon, an install isn't a download, all of the data is on the disc. That said it still has one of the major anti-consumer issues of digital in that it pushes the cost of storage on to the consumer.
>>742344261buy another yacht my nigger you deserve it for not being retarded
Teenagers nowadays wont have nostalgia for phyiscal releases as we doSad
>>742334840>Playstation is officially deadFTFY
>>742344359anon most modern games have day 1 patches.
>>742334840Now it is time for Snoys to pretend they never cared about physical. Chop chop, your new script has arrived.
>stop selling physical>huh, look at this trend
>>742344324>Because if you have a disc, you can at least sell it or lend it to someoneThat's anti semite you bastard.
>>742344496Good.
I hope you console plebs are ready to upgrade to pc. Do not let these greedy judes rape your gaming library with high game prices and shitty subscription models
>>742344424>All of the data is on the discagain, we are not in 2010. That is not the case anymore.Why are you doing the leftist classic of pretending that you don't know how this has been happening for 15 years?
>>742344465im 36 years old and stopped buying physical in mid 2000sim not nostalgic for waste of space at allI appreciate my ps1 games I still have, but thats about it

>>742344261ur fat
>>742344107>Games haven't been physical since thenI don't know man, my Switch games collection is looking very physical right now.
I told my mommy physical is dying and she didn’t care
>>742344571physical releases are a mustretard
>>742344538yes, I can't wait to move to PC where it's the exact same and there's not even a pretense of physical media.>hurr just download from gog!no, I want a disc, I want to know I can store the data, physically, and the object will be there. I should not have to rely on creating my own fucking digital storage backups, fuck you.
You can't take your games with you when you die
>>742344538And having to log in every 30 days to play your own games, 30 fps, low resolution, 5 hour controller battery life, paying for online, no mods, no emulators, it just keeps delivering.
>digital on console>the game just exists in some mystical aether plane that you absolutely cannot interfere with>digital on pc>you can do whatever the fuck you want with the filesIt just feels so much worse.
>>742344538>upgrade to PC>oh by the way AI made it so ram and storage is 10x the old price and it will be that way until at least 2030
>>742334840Doesn't bother me. I haven't had a physical copy of a game since the PS2.
>>742339976PlayStation 5 is 5 years old.Let that sink in.It doesn't matter if they ban new games altogether, the generation is over. No games happened. Get ready to shell out $1400 soon, Chud.
>>742344548You say that like there aren't statistics on this. A majority of games play fine out of the box.
>>742344621>get game installer>burn it on a discSo hard
>>742344621That's not an argument anymore, you don't have that. You will have to come up with a new script or get humiliated in all threads for the next decade.
>>742344630For what reason would one die?
>>742344621>I hate the fact that I can back up and copy my gamesyou’re just different flavor of cattle brother
They've reached the limit of hardware with the PS5. With most users still on PS4.
>>742344617why would I want useless plastic to collect dust?I can store my games in hdd/ssd's
i dont see the big deal about owning objects. they all disappear when you die anyway
i don't like it but it was inevitable. this kills the used games market also
I think snoys deserve everything sony does because they literally never complain about anything.
>>742344548>That is not the case anymoreIt absolutely is the case you deluded nigger. That's how physical since 2013, with the exception of Nintendo, has worked.
>>742344621Ok buddy I also prefer physical games but it's not like you got any other choice. Steam and gog are better then the Xbox/PS Store >>742344648It's not like consoles are that cheap either these days. The PS6 is rumored to be super expensive, near $1k so...>>742344640>And having to log in every 30 days to play your own games, 30 fps, low resolution, 5 hour controller battery life, paying for online, no mods, no emulators, it just keeps delivering.Forgot about all this kek
>>742344538except PC gets treated like third rate. my mind goes to elden ring micro stutters where it was a train wreck playing it
>>742344472Not according to>>742344351
>>742344621>buy the game if you want to support devs and pirate it for full offline ownership>get it from gog DRM free>emulate older games from older consoles>put your pirate version of games on a external USB or hard drive>stick usb drive in a case and put it on your shelf with a pic of the gamethere you go you fucking retard it will cost the same in fact it would cost less to do it this way if you want to have it on a shelf in your home
>>742334840Good. We all die and take nothing but memories and achivements. Better work on that, enjoy your games without hordering rubbish
i've been digital only since i bought my PS5 Professional
>>742344760everyone was priced out in passing down homes so things like cars, movies, and games were the last thing people could afford and pass down
>>742344829>Steam and gog are better then the Xbox/PS StoreWe just got announced that Sony is closing PS3 and PS Vita stores, and they also said that in the future you won't even be able to download games that you already bought. Meanwhile since Steam is not closed to any hardware you can still download and buy anything made all the way back to 2004.
what a lovely time not to be a consolefag...especially a snoy
Another benefit that a lot of people are glossing over is that somehow, physical is often cheaper than digital. You can go on Amazon right now, and the physical version of a game will be cheaper than what is on PSN. Now that physical is gone, Sony has less of an incentive to provide sales and deep discounts.
>>742344728No gf
>>742344884I wouldnt want my grandpas ps3/4/5 garbage gamesI would just throw them into the trash if I got them
>>742341482This isn't a total impossibility.nuGame slop will just be for whales who can afford to spend 120 bucks on the Last of Us 3, while normal people will be able to buy some peak scrimblo kino.
>>742344829>It's not like consoles are that cheap either these days. The PS6 is rumored to be super expensive, near $1k so...I know, most people are just going to nope out of the hobby. It’s too expensive to justify. People have to worry about affording food, rent, and gas at this point
>>742344621GOG literally gives you the ability to own the game file without any launchers, that's as close as digital ownership you'll be getting nowadays, and if you want a PC disc in 2026 so badly, just look into how to burn bootable CDs. Sorry, but the PC CD ship sailed a long time ago and believe me, the companies won't miss your sole lost purchase.
>>742344951console cuck problemsteam keys have been cheaper for decades in 3rd party sites
>>742344850snoys are too tech illiterate to do that. They're probably browsing /v/ on their phones.
>>742344107Most games are completely on disc and even if some of it has to be installed, that still means you can lend it or sell it. It also means that as long as you have the disc then there's still some kind of avenue to get the game in the future.People aren't thinking about this shit in the long term. When the PS6 stores inevitably go down, you WILL NOT be able to go back and play old games because you literally cannot purchase them in any way with no used market. Officially you become completely reliant on companies making remasters/remakes that also tend to be worse than the original versions 80% of the time (and that's a generous number). You have to pray the PS6 is easily hackable or people put effort into emulation.
>>742335032Cool it with the antisemitism
>>742335032they are already cheaper though, why do you think games still cost the same they did 20 years ago?
Will normies give a fuck? You know, the type where you find a "ps5 game collection" for sale on FB marketplace and it's just yearly Call of Duty and sports games.
so many antisemitic posts here
I’m done with consoles then.

>>742334840Valve paved the way
>>742345076My first immediate thought was "so when those games that have licensed whatever when it expires they get delisted" games are going to be fucking lost media. No tracking down used copies, ect.
Do the change now faggots, don't wait for 2028. Your library is already lost anyway unless you want to keep the PS5 hooked up for 20 years (will probably die by that time anyway).
>>742344760My kids MUST play my anime games!

>just a few days ago they deleted movies that people bought>now thisBodes well.
If you had made the change to PC 20 years ago you would have a gigantic library of games that are all playable in 4K rather than not being able to move your collection to the next gen.
Nintendo is the sole survivor. If people don't push back hard against this then the hobby is fucked. Nintendo can't carry the whole thing on its back. I hate snoyggers but they deserve physical format.
>>742334840this is Nintendo's fault somehow
>>742334840The moment PS5 sold a digital only version for $100 cheaper, I know it was over. And i jumped ship to PC.If i am being forced to build a digital library it will be on a device i have full control of, and on Steam. My decision continues to prove to be the correct call. Now i have a steam collection of 300 games and dont need to course correct
>>742345210Action 52 was $200
>>742335032>this means they will be a tiny bit cheaper as they skip the disc manufacturing process, right?GTA6 is 100 dollars
Say goodbye to owning anything on consoles.PC piratechads win, as always.
>yfw you have to apologize to pic related.I for one never got asshurt about it cause it was still physical media
>>742334948Gaming unironically has it better than a lot other hobbies.The more "controlled by giant corporation(s)" the hobby the more fucked it is.Gaming has the luck of PC still being a thing.They are trying to kill home PC, but we still got it, and I think it will be almost impossible to fully kill it.

bruh im not having my videogames linked to psn in a million fucking years after they got hacked and my account was fucked.
>>742345526No it wasn't lol.Show me a single store that sold it for the "recommended price" and I'll concede.
>>742334840This is the end result of letting the Americans and Westerners take over PlayStation in 2016. I wish for the total collapse of the United States and EU.

>>742345210nothing will ever beat the prices of Neo Geo games
>>742345586>pushingHow are they pushing it? This was intended for third parties to stop doing the code in a box bullshit, for games that are way bigger than 64 gb (most of them) and it worked because most third parties are launching their games on the Switch 2 now. Nintendo still makes their games 100% physical and they won't stop because they have to top the charts on famitsu every week.
>>742334840what if all games are digital but we add a physical component to the boxes that hold to the key to the game? like a game key disc?
>>742345602Its Nintendos fault for using a Sony soundchip on the Super Nintendo, that was the slippery slope.

>>742334840No one really cares. Last physical game i bought was wrath of the lich king
>>742345834Year?
>>742345516>If i am being forced to build a digital library it will be on a device i have full control of, and on SteamNot to mention your games won't stop being accessible because Steam is not tied to specific hardware. They're already killing the PS3 store (you can't play those games on a PS5 anyway) and they said you won't be able to download the already purchased ones in the future either.
>>742345638That was the recommended retail price. Retails can sell games for whatever price they want. This going for modern $70-80 games you’re complaining about
>>742345863What? I want my physical games to continue on PS. Do I just switch to Nintendo now.....
>>742345921>Has no examplesThanks for ceding the argument.
>>742345727yeah but fuck the end of the NES lifespan. gay shit.
>>742343989I don't know why physicalfags are so delusional about thisIt's fine to say "i want physical, i'm not buying unless it's physical", you can buy whatever you want.But pretending most people buy physical is just retarded. Even if you>ignore f2p games>ignore mtx>ignore all PC games>ignore all mobile games>ignore DLCThe sales are still anywhere from 65% (nintendo) to 90% (xbox) digital. Nobody gives a damn about physical man, it's for a small clique of collectors and a dying market of scalpers.If I were sony, instead of shutting this industry down completely I'd just go whaling. No disc drive in the PS6, but offer a disc-reading peripheral at a 200% profit margin. Sell disc versions as the "collector's edition", priced $150 and up. Maximum boomer exploitation.
>>742345889No one cares about pc faggots. Least of all a fucking WoW paypig. You became digital husks long ago

>>742345602>>742345479>Nintendo should have made a disc based switch 2!

>>742345854They might sell an addon I guess.
>>742346086I noticed the fact Nintendo was the first publisher to lower the price of digital after decades of gamers being told that digital purchases will make things cheaper.Just like how they were magically able to tell us of an incoming price increase MONTHS in advance.Does this mean steam could sell all 70 dollar games for 60. Surely they can convince publishers to do that. Nintendo can make it work and still profit. But valve would NEVER do that because 30% of 60 is less than 30% of 70.Sony probably didn't want to be asked why they kept the price for physical and digital the same despite Nintendo doing the 10 dollars off between the two; all the while the switch 2 carts are vastly more expensive than disc to make. So they just nuked disc all together.See it's Nintendo's fault.
Sony is forcing me onto either Switch 2 or PC when time runs out. What the fuck man.
>>742334840Pretty much confirms PS6 releases in 2028.
>>742336064how is witch of luludidea
>>742344107the issue is when you buy a physical game you actually have permanent ownership of it compared to buying digital just grants you a license to play it on the system you got it for which can be revoked at any time. Granted that hasn't happened yet but there is a huge move by the elites to make sure that we the commoners own NOTHING, you can bet your ass they will start revoking game licenses or forcing you to pay a monthly fee to continue playing them once they've completely eliminated physical as an option. Its part of a global effort by the elites to remove ownership as a concept, its the same with all electronic hardware being price gouged to shit to the point where a gaming PC is completely unaffordable, they don't want you to own hardware they want you to game on cloud services. It's the Netflix and Uber strategy, create something that seems like a great deal until all other options die, then enshittify and jack your prices way up because your consumer base has to deal with it now.
>>742334840I exclusively buy digital. Sony has the right to do whatever they want. I see no reason to buy a PS6. The high prices of the console, combined with high prices of controllers and high prices of games, the fact that I already have a 3k machine that plays everything I want, and now this? All these things make consoles so unattractive. There used to be a reason for buying consoles even if you had a good machine. I guess the last selling point is exclusive games? lol
>>742346193Killing physical is good because it weakens the value proposition of the console, thus accelerating the death of consoles. The sooner consoles die, the better.To anyone BEGGING in this thread for discs to come back, you realize these are just a physical form of DRM, right? Saying "it's for sharing" like digital file sharing is impossible. Oh wait, on consoles it is, lol. Maybe don't support the idea of a walled garden cuck box then.Anyone ITT wanting an open resale market, game sharing, alternatives to buying at full price, the ability to keep your games forever: PC already has what you want.>b-b-b-b-but copying the files is i-illegal-Good goy. Intellectual property is definitely real and must always be respected. You will own nothing.
Time to pirate EVERYTHING
Unlimited jeet works
>>742346540Oh yeah. I still can't believe people actually complained Nintendo is experimenting with variable pricing or how they lowered their digital prices. Some people will bitch about anything I guess.
I literally have not bought a physical disc since XBOX 360 era. Why the FUCK would I waste time going to some fucking store when I can hit 2 buttons and buy the fucking game instantly on my console and play it right then and there.

>>742346540Nigger having cheaper digital games is the correct thing to do. Only a snoy would bitch about this shit.
I used to favor sony slightly over valve for a few reasons that made sense to me and I ignored getting shit on by everyone for being a 'console gamer' (although I had both pc and playstation every generation)1. Sony put a way larger amount of money into the developer ecosystem despite charging the same split of 30% on sales.This became irrelevant because the large developer ecosystem is now trash, and steam making everything easy and convenient for small developers has had a better overall impact despite gaben being greedy and buying yachts instead of giving them any monetary breaks.2. The controllers are the gold standard. I get RSI from gaming with mice and controller fits better with most games I play. This is irrelevant because the dualsense support basically has parity between pc and ps5 now. Even the fancy features like haptics work (although you have to plug it in)3. Retail and used pricing of ps5 physical games means that it's possible to find new games for less than msrp without waiting many more months for the publisher to put the first discount on steam.No more physical games eliminates that.4. Performance bargain. $500 into a ps5 when they became generally available for msrp 3-4 years ago beat $500 into any pc at that time. That's generally been true except for ps3.As I shell out stupid amounts of money for both platforms this is irrelevant and without the other benefits it's a $500 waste.
>>742346597>muhhh IPfucking cuck
>>742346681Switch games are significantly cheaper to produce than AAA games for other consoles because they're running on weaker hardware, this applies to Switch 2 as well since they intentionally are making underpowered games to hit a 4K target on what is a tablet in a world where PS5 Pro and Xbox Series X can't even handle native 4K. So realistically they don't even need to be as expensive in the first place but the "discounted" digital games also came with Switch 2 games coming it at an ABSURD $80 for physical copies and $70 digital, significantly more expensive than last generation which was already releasing full-priced $60 games that almost never go on sale on a handheld, a device that used to have discounted game prices due to the aforementioned fact that its a lot cheaper to produce for them (3DS games launched at $40).What Sony is doing is awful here but don't go around defending Nintendo just because of it. Stop falling for console wars none of these companies are on your side.

so this is an opportunity for Xbox to shit all over Playstation by making a statement that physical media is here to stay on Xbox, right?
>>742345586>pushing those game keycardsWhat in the ever loving fuck are you talking about? They haven't used keys once. They clearly know that people don't like them and only have them for the third parties who don't want to foot the billIf anything Sony killing physical will probably result in Nintendo killing keys because third parties don't have any choice in the matter.
I'll wait for Nintendo to do this so I can complain.
>>742346998did you record yourself man
>>742346727Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2, and my family gifted me Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Metroid Prime 4 for my birthday. The next physical game I'll buy will be Rhythm Heaven or Mario and Luigi Brothership if I find it on sale.
it was bound to happen, no one buys physical copies anymore
>>742334840>Sid Shuman>he/himAll you need to know.
>>742346727Star fox
>>742347114see>>742347148it would be a colossal blunder
>>742347098Your opinion doesn't matter because you will do whatever sony wants you to do. You can buy DRM free games on PC that you can fully backup and don't need you to log in every 30 days or download any patches you retard.
>>742346727I think it was Titanfall 2
>>742347114It would be a good PR move which means that they're not gonna do it.
Pirate EVERYTHING
>>742334840The fucking audacity of sony to do this right after pulling all those digital movies is insane
>>742335032Sort of. It will delay a price increase, which is essentially the same.
>>742336317xbox has been scaling down and half assing their physicals for ages now, I fully expect them to pull a similar move
>>742334840>introduce paid online>produce nothing but shit games for 10 years>the only users that remain have no standards or self-respect>pull the plug on physical media and get away with it
>>742347098Yea. I just hope Nintendo sticks to physical. What makes this worse is that if the Americans didn't take over PlayStation and SIE remained Japanese this probably wouldn't have happened. Nintendofags, do 3rd parties regularly release physical games or use the key shit. I don't usually pay attention to Nintendo but I have to now.
>>742347114If the Xbox One S wasn't a thing, i would say yes but I doubt. Could also be that Sony is selling their bluray manufacturing part.
>>7423471481.6 billion in sales is a fucking gigantic amount of people buying physical still, removing the option when discs cost almost nothing to produce is retarded.
>>742346727I pre ordered 5 physical switch games last week. Last one I bought is dragon quest 3 remake.
>>742347098Literally 85% of you were buying digital.
>>742346831if you are a snoy, go ahead.
>>742335032anon....
>>742334840>Spends the pat decade making it harder for people to buy physical>Blames the consumer saying it's their fault they're getting rid of physical gamesI know this decision is obliquely Jewish but they don't have to be so brazen about it. Literally zero consumer was asking for this shit.
>kills physical games>kills ps3 storejej
>>742347098digital is "payment optional" on PC
>>742347114i doubt it. xbox has fucked up really badly in the last couple years. they are probably glad for short-term financial reasons without thinking about anything else
>>742346287damn people in /v/ are retarded, just look at you
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWSIFh8ICaAImagine if Xbox makes a parody of this
>>742347305The point is that fewer and fewer people consider physical media to be essential; they were waiting for the right moment to phase them out, and that moment has arrived: physical sales are at an all-time low, so few people are going to complain about it.
>>742347114No they can't their entire business model has been built off of "you will own nothing" bullshit for years now, Series S doesn't even have a disc drive and has no option to add one. Most of their money comes from Game Pass xbox buyers probably arent buying physical games
>>742334840Just imagine, without having to pay for the case and the booklet, games will be EVEN CHEAPER
>>742347043>Kill yourselfNah. i like living and having my physical Nintendo games.
>>742346909huge majority of posters in this site haven't been American for more than a decade.
>>742347098Don't worry those pcfags will be sure to post everywhere how Sony is evil for doing this even though phsycial sales count for a ever declining portion of game sales on console.They're just there to be theatrical engagement baiting retards. Look what happened with the game Keycard bullshit. Every console owner knows for the past decade you've had to install your disc to the console's hard drive. So the fact that you technically don't get the data on the cart but keep all the benefits of physical is perfectly fine.Valve has been getting bad press lately due to their steam machine fuck ups so this negative Playstation news will be spammed for a bit to get the heat off Valve's bullshit.
>>7423468814 won't be true anymore. The PS6 is a guaranteed 1000+ $ price start
>>742346727Halo 5 about a month ago for $5 at a thrift store.Used games are where physical media really shines. I can go to pawn shops and goodwills and find tons of Xbox 360 and One games for very cheap, same with PS3 and PS4 stuff.
>>742346727Strangers of Paradise Final Fantasy OriginI wanted the steelbook
>>742347293It depends on the developers, square enix are kikes so they use game key card, but I've noticed quite few indie devs opting to use on cart shit like the upcoming ports of Wanderstop and Binding of Issac. You just kind of have to research it now, I've been opting to get just the switch 1 version of square enix games, a lot of the new ones are still on cart like final fantasy resonance, etc.
>>742347098Because we can pirate and buy DRM free games while you will buy digital only games on PS6 anyway, don't even pretend like you're gonna do something about this.
>>742334840>announce that physical sales will be completely shutdown in 2028, making everything digital only>and announce that the online stores services for the ps3 and vita will be will end>MAKE THESE ANNOUNCEMENTS AT THE SAMEIt would'be been peak comedy if it wasn't tragic>>742335032Hahahaha oh no no no Ahahahahahahahahaha!!!
>>742347409>Imagine if Xbox makes a parody of thisOh god, please I want them to do this
It's really starting to feel like the people who make games don't really consider video games an art form
>>742346909from my job retard. What you have a job that blocks 4chin? Sucks to be you faggot
>>742347347Sorry, I posted that screenshot with the Q4 result highlighted (85%, when the news broke), while failing to notice that for the entire FY2025 it was 78%.First-party titles made up 10% of full PS4 and PS5 game sales, so we'd have to go third-party by third-party to see their breakdowns where available (93% digital FY2025 from Capcom, for example).
>>742347561I see
>>742347114If Xbox does something bad Sony laughs and takes advantage of it.If Sony does something bad Xbox just copies it.
>>742347521Steam faggots and piratards are honestly worse than Snoys at this point.
>>742347098>>742347293seething cucksole fag>>742347521>starts seething about Valve out of nowhereKEK, not even mindbroken at this point, outright mindraped
>>742347621obviously, nowdays it's either they use that media to spread their propaganda, or to get some money, the era of white nerds doing things people considered "weird" is over, everything that ends up mainstream turns to shit
Is there even any hope for the future left?
lmfao what the fuck is the point of a console now>can't pirate>not achievable>no games>have to pay for online>can't share with friends in any meaningful wayeven steam reworked it's game sharing system to give the users a lot more freedom
>>742347712So true, how dare they not support Marathon and Concord like us snoys
>>742347712Yep
>>742334840I would be more upset if I had any interest in buying any Sony games in the near future.
>>742347521imagine being this much of a bootlicker. I really hope you kill yourself.
>>742336621Fuck you Sony, FUCK YOU.Well, that's it. PS4 is where I'm staying. The PS5 is a piece of shit with a soldered-on SSD and doesn't let me backup saves to USB.At least I have an exrensive backlog.
>>742347621Games have not and never will be art. Theyre toys. In the case of PC games and increasingly so for consoles, toys for manchildren. Kids don't play vidya anymore.
>>742334840>nintendo uses game key cards>sony uses code in boxI‘m really gonna have to buy multiplats digitally now fuck
>>742347576You do know you can still re-download your original digital purchases from EVERY console platform.>wii shop>wiiu/3ds>Xbox 360>psnSo there's no problem with this at all. You steamies are out of fucking touch. Ignorance doesn't bolster your dumb ass stances.Also don't you niggers have to literally get denied access to your library once a fucking week? Go tell that fat fuck to fix that before you start throwing stones.
Sony really doing everything in their power to kill video games huh
>>742347832Toys are art.
the last Sony game I bought was PATAPON for the PSP.
>>742346727I am buying the OOT remake nigga, last one was Tsukihime for Switch
>>742342747they're shutting down disc production, which means NO ONE will be able to produce physical PS games anymore
>>742347403Damn fagg/o/ts are retarded, just look at you
>>742347621publishers don't make games, developers do.
>>742338172Will this bitch also complain that no one cares about her job anymore?
>>742347098dude, I came her to give an eulogy for the death of your shit medium. As a PCfag, I've been in the digital train for years because of the real advantages PC gave. Free online, real discounts, mod support, accesible data, better performanceLiterally the pillar of console gaming was physical media, cheap prices on console, and second hand market. All those are dead now. Your gaming medium is dead. I just wanna pay respects for your dead medium
>>742347720Calm down son, the adults are talking.
>>742347098a digital copy on a computer is not only easier to pass around (even compared to physical) it will last for decades to come on a platform that will stay the same. a digital game on the ps5 will not work on the ps6 until sony allows it. once the ps5 dies, everything that was ps5 only will die with it.
>>742347839You know what's funny? Only the Nintendo ones are complete non issues because they don't use online drm.
>>742347832>Games have not and never will be art.my fucking ass
>>742347932Correct, console kids should stay in their containment website, reddit
>>742347825>and doesn't let me backup saves to USB.it's crazy how this basic feature is just completely absent from modern consoles
>>742344107>>742344246oh my god how can you faggots still be so ignorant after all these years
>>742347872>muh everything humans make is artShut up faggit. Do you think shit is art?
>>742347148This graph is even more grim when compared to a graph of total spending. Physical spending isn't just falling, it's falling while total spending rises, making physical an exponentially smaller portion of the market. You can maybe say it's still 15-20% of the market today, but it's shrinking every year, and shrinking faster. So by the time the next console comes around, which might not be for another 3-4 years, it'd be single digits at best. Better to rip the band-aid off now
>gaming sucks>job market sucks>dating market sucks>housing market sucks>music sucks>film and TV suck>anime and manga suck>food sucks>tourism sucks>aesthetics and culture suck>clubbing and outing suck>everybody sucks>life just all around sucksIs there literally anything that doesn't suck these days? Name just one fucking thing, I'll wait
>>742346591>Granted that hasn't happened yetThere were some cases of games being removed from libraries already, but Sony itself just a few days ago removed MOVIES people bought from their librariesIf they can do it with movies, they can easily do it with gamesThey also just announced that they're shutting down online stores for the ps3 and psvita, so if your console is "old enough", they can simply stop any service to it too, adding insult to injury.
>>742347832>the media that has multiple art form (music, graphics, gameplay) in it isn't arthmm
>>742348013>muh everything humans make is artI never said or implied this. Cute cope.
>>742344261When he dies, my x thousands worth Steam account will feel just a little bit more insecure.....
>>742348056Gambling is easier than ever!
>>742347925There hasn't been a good game released on PC in over 10 years. You're throwing dynamite in a glass building.

>>742348056Make stuff.Sit down and write or play music or film videos or take photos or draw or beatbox at 4AM
I have no reason to buy Playstation 6.
>>742347960even if windows fucking dies in our life time, guess what valve has contributed to preserve windows games on another operating system
>>742334840What's the point in getting a console now? Physical games was mostly what seperated it from PC.
>>742347621It was never art. Why do you think no one gives a shit about games with "deep" stories? Even kojimbo learned this the hard way when DS2 flopped
>>742347098We still have DRM free games, optional piracy, and a majority of the retro catalog of games. It's not perfect but consoles having physical was the biggest up side to consoles. Now these retards are paying to use their own internet and have their game library held hostage.
>>742348183I wanted to learn drawing but then AI shit happened and I just lost my drive
>>742348056And the constant of all these things? (you)
>>742348084>There were some cases of games being removed from libraries already,I'd like a source because as far as I'm aware this has never happened. Games get removed from digital stores but are still redownloadable if you've purchased them.>Sony itself just a few days ago removed MOVIES people bought from their librariesIf they can do it with movies, they can easily do it with gamesNot necessarily movie licensing works a lot differently. Of course that could be different in the future but the fact it happened with movies doesn't mean it will happen with games anytime soon, but it absolutely can and will happen in the future once we've enshittified to that point.
>still releases games physical drm free on a cd with cool disc artkneel
>>742348270well fuck
>>742347098physical media is just D.I.Y. on PC since you have access to the game files, and if there's enforced DRM you can just get the crack as needed
>>742348056go outside, learn to fishfight someone at a walmart for a pack of pokemon cards
>>742347148You know what's funny about this? It's almost entirely bullshit because there's a chunk of physical games that circana doesn't have access to not including almost all of Nintendo's.
>>742347621Videogames are products
>>742347776The inconvenient truth is that digital is what allows steam to have generous sharing and refund systems. Digital distribution is so absurdly efficient compared to mailing plastic that steam can remain a private company, blow billions on players sharing or abusing refunds, and simply say, "go ahead, it's on the house"It's the same way amazon got successful. They lose a lot of money with their generous return policies. But it's those policies that let them make 1000x more in return.Xbox and Sony are on the opposite end of this dynamic. They sell consoles, and formerly discs, which are inherently inefficient and as you said, pointless, so they're forced to gouge for every nickel and dime, which shrinks their audience, which forces them to milk them more, etc.
>>742348056>Is there literally anything that doesn't suck these daysMy girlfriend when she became my wife
>>742336317No first party Series X game is actually on the disc. Some third party series x games still are, but first party ones all require internet. They did the keycard thing way before Nintendo did. But no one cared, since no one owns an Xbox. Anyway, don’t expect them to save physical. They stopped caring about it even before Nintendo and snoy did.
>>742348195It's all multiplatform AAAA slop anyway now, but I adored sony from the ps1 to the ps3. by year three or four of the ps4's lifespan, i barely touched the thing. never even had an inkling of a desire to get a ps5 and certainly won't be getting a ps6. feels bad.
>>742334840THIS IS RETARDED!!! FUCK THE GAMING INDUSTRY!!! LET IT CRASH!! Everybody with a brain can see this is just another way for Corporations to control you! You might as well buy a PC at this point. Even Nintendo is getting closer to this Digital Only BS! FUCK YOU CORPORATE ELITES!!
>>742334840Unfortunately nobody is buying physical anymore. Games are either too bloated or would fit in a CD ROM
>>742346727I buy lots of physical games, but I wait for them to go on sale. I don't think i'll have that luxury of waiting for price drops anymore since they will probably only do limited print runs of newer games going forward.
>>742348056>Is there literally anything that doesn't suck these days? Name just one fucking thingI won't, you're right, which is why I only consume old medias from now on
>>742348384You think art can't be produced?
>>742347098Because besides DRM free games and pirating copies, PC has many other advantages while your only advantage was physical media. So you would have to be retarded to keep being a snoy now. Your fanboyism is already showing that you will continue.
>>742346907>Switch games are significantly cheaper to produce than AAA games for other consoleswhy is this argument acceptable for games but not for movies? it's not nintendo's fault everyone else is so fucking inefficient and shitty at budgeting
>>742334840>>742335032Sony. NIGGERS LOST BIGLY Get woke go broke
>>742348230It just works
>>742348437I do.....on both systems.....
>>742347832>>742348241>>742348384This, humans simply can't produce art. Thankfully AI is here and we will finally learn what art is now that we can create products completely separate from such anti-art poison as human input or personal experience
>>742348437>Games are either too bloated or would fit in a CD ROMUHD BDs hold up to 100GB each, and they're cheap so you can have multiple without an issue. There's plenty of capacity here.
>>742347712And yet snoys are filling the catalog bitching about Valve and Nintendo right now, curious. We're giving you a better option nigger.
>>742342837Gotta buy the 150 dollar disc drive to even play your PS4 and PS5 discs. How generous of Sony.
>>742348296>I'd like a source because as far as I'm aware this has never happened.Namely, it is a different situation, but Ubisoft did remove The Crew from players libraries.>Not necessarily movie licensing works a lot differently. Of course that could be different in the future but the fact it happened with movies doesn't mean it will happen with games anytime soon, but it absolutely can and will happen in the future once we've enshittified to that point.Yes. It doesn't matter that "things work differently for this thing", those are just rules someone made up, it's not some divine force. They can just make shit up to make it work like that.And we WILL get to that point.
>>742334840Breaking! Important Message from SIE:Attention! Attention!All citizens are ordered to report to their district detention centersDo not return to your homes, do not contact anyoneDo not use any cellular or GPS devicesSurrender all weapons at onceAttention! This way to the Shed!
>>742348245>implying I will continue this shitty hobby anymore if physical goes awayI already mostly play tabletop games now. Video games have been shit for years now, across all platforms there are maybe 2 games a year worth playing these days. Everyone's in denial about the state of video games.
Guess Nintendo wins Famitsu forever now lmao
>>742348630>UHD BDs hold up to 100GB eachGTA 6 is gonna need at least 6 of those CDs lol
>>742347839>So there's no problem with this at allThere is, they already said you won't be able to download PS3 games in the future, stopping you from buying them now is just the beginning.
snoys suffering? VERY GOOD.
Discfags lost, it's over. It happened with music, it happened with movies. Now it's happened for games too. Welcome to the future.
>>742348534It can, we have AI for this purpose.
>>742347772Yes just stop supporting sony.
>>742348807>30/30 forever.holy kek.
>>742346907>So realistically they don't even need to be as expensive in the first placeYou know what's funny? Because they're using carts Nintendo games are the ones that actually have a justifiable reason since they're like ten bucks a cart.With disc, they're so cheap to produce that they don't add anything on to the cost of the game so five years ago, despite that and the rampant asset reuse, everyone just raised their price purely to be greedy.
>>742346727adventures of elliot PS5, I'm also going to grab rhythm heaven groove and have splatoon raiders preordered, if KH collection has 3remind (please it needs a physical release) on the PS5 disc I'll grab that too
>>742348871Ai makes images, not art.
Sad day for gaming to be freaking honestYou’re renting games for $80-$100
>>742348762>but Ubisoft did remove The Crew from players libraries.Only for people who bought after the cut off date was announced and they were refunded so that's not really applicable.
>>742346540Tendie games last like half an hour, the price for their slop should be indie tier

>>742348867>Discfags lost, it's over. It happened with music, it happened with moviesNo? I can still buy those and they're just as good.
>>742348090Not all music is art and no one's going to display a screenshot of Tifa from Final Fantasy 7 in a museum like it's the Mona Lisa.
>>742349165>Mischief Makersgreat game, and that says a lot because I fucking hate 2d platformers, but that one is special, it has so much sovl
>>742349049It was more to stop current owners of The Crew to host and make private servers.
>>742349171>They have no worthwhile gamesAs opposed to what?
>>742344220Me too
>>742348867I still get vinyl records of new releases even in niche genres like power metal. What are you talking about.
I don't understand the cry for physical copies when video games are like 500GBs and nobody even gets CD inserts for their PCs anymore.Was it this bad when people were crying floppy disks were being discontinued? Or music & movie people when mostly everyone moved to streaming services?
>>7423488674k bd going strong
>>742349278>no worthwhile games>digitalPortbegging is an act of self admission that PC has nothing good besides indie slop, MMOs and MOBAs.
>>742348867>It happened with musicphysical media for music is still insanely popular
>>742349367You’re retarded and probably brown.
>>742349367You're a kid, I don't blame you for not getting it. Youve never known better.
>>742336064You bought all that but no Pokopia?
>>742349202ngl, you really need to play some good games before saying such nonsense, play FFX, play skies of arcadia, play fucking OoT and come back to me
>>742349218It's the kind of game that restores my smile and optimism.
>>742348143Dude, 99.99% of Playstation and XBox console games are on PC. You're shooting yourself in the foot right now.
>>742348385the funny part is that sony will never allow any of that shit even when switching lmfao
>>742349367>Or music & movie people when mostly everyone moved to streaming services?You still have the option to buy DVDs, Blu Rays, CDs and even vinyls and enthusiasts buy lots of them.

>>742337847It's depressing as fuck. At least we can maintain old cars and keep them running (which is WAY easier on older cars since they don't have giant iPads on them)

>>742349748you do realize you have full access to the files you have on pc right, they are worth more than physical copies have ever been in a long time.
>>742349171Oh so this is what you sonyfags are going to do now.Your just going to pretend to be Nintendo fans to shitpost about pc and get them all to fight.
>>742349668PC is used mostly by the 3rd world. You're shitting on your fellow jeets.
>>742349672They are diluting gas precisely to kill your old car faster. Junkyards are blowing up en masse to remove possible spare parts from the market. You are fucked, I'm genuinely sorry.

>>742348385>The inconvenient truth is that digital is what allows steam to have generous sharing and refund systems.nigga the only reason steam has refunds is because of australia, and at our stores we can literally change of mind return our shit for a week, steamies brag about being able to try a game for 2 hours but we could feasibly beat an entire game and return it, so no you can have even more generous return systems even with physical
>>742349884CONSOLEJEET DEFEAT. YOU SMELL LIKE FEET, Mr. Sukhdeep.
>>742343320They wouldn't do it if that was true.
>>742349803Anon, having a game but being unable to access the main part of it isn't the same as it being removed from your library.People who already owned it for a long period of time can still download and install it but of course you won't be able to get past the DRM check.It hasn't been removed from their libraries.
>>742349838Unlike you I always liked Nintendo and pre-American PlayStation you stupid nigger. This place is full of fucking idiot children.
>>742348270I found even more motivation to draw now that retards use models to pass off as 'artists'. Kinda like how it feels to make some good homemade food vs. buying takeout. yes, >food analogy - I knowDraw, anon. People who commission artists want the real deal, made by a real person and not a fucking model.
>>742346727If it's new then Elden Ring. I mostly wait until prices drop so I mostly I buy physical after they're a few years old.
>>742348056masturbating's still pretty good
>>742349664These media are all treated differently. Movies and albums don't get patches. People don't buy a movie or album on release, play it once, and then sell it to a used goods store unless they really didn't like it.

>>742349894Yeah it's really blatant that they're trying to remove alternatives to modern cars that are as surveillance laden as every other device and can be remotely disabled to restrict movement in the future when social/climate credit/good goy point systems come online in the future
>>742350098yeah but those weren't 100 gb discs (those are really expensive to make)
>>742350124>>742349971
>>742346727Star fox!
>>742350045>People don't buy a movie or album on release, play it once, and then sell it to a used goods store unless they really didn't like it.That happens more with movies and music than video games because they just rip it from the disc and sell it.
>>742350001based vidya enjoyer
>>742348867>It happened with music, it happened with movies.they still produce those though
>>742350171>(those are really expensive to make)Source?
>>742348056Old games are still fun. Otherwise, your final cope is to get into a creative hobby in spite of AI and IMPROOOOOOOOOOVE.
>>742349894>tfw latam>we can run old shitboxes no problem>repair shops are still a thingWe're gonna go full mad max if needed. Fuck modern AIslop shit.
>>742350110Not my concern. Most of you are thirdies.

>>742350000https://x.com/Bioalpha/status/1778422646016737490And many others
>>742350190Unnecessary step given how you can just pirate it from someone else who already did that, save yourself two trips.
>>742349968You know (((who))).
>>742350237Now post the console chart. KEK!
>>742350171Nigger, quad layer Bluray that hold 120gb cost like a buck to make.
>>742349367There were people who cried a lot when game disks changed from containing the whole game to just being a code, but in the end they were a tiny minority and nobody gave a shit. Just like now.The reason it's so confusing from a PC gamer perspective is that console users conflate physical disks with consumer rights. They think the disk is the source of their right to share their game, buy cheaper (used) copies, back their games up, and so on. In reality that is all possible with digital media. Consoles just arbitrarily don't permit them to do it. There's no technical barrier preventing digital game sharing or copying game files on a playstation. Sony just won't let them.They are so used to this walled garden situation that they mistake the disks as having some inherent technical value, and blame their lack of rights on their inability to buy a physical DRM wafer in a plastic box, rather then the locked-down nature of the platform.They would rather beg to pay sony for the physical right to transfer their game by mailing it to some guy on ebay, than to simply use a PC where you can copy any file for free.
>>742350268Your example is someone who bought it after they announced it was going to end.
>the consolejeet is seethingrofl
>>742350459Check the replies, there's a guy that had the game since 2018https://x.com/MMaRsu/status/1778468489268793585You can even see on his screenThe game shut down in 2024
>>742350407>for the physical right to transfer their game by mailing it to some guy on ebayI think it's more of a "I want to own the physical thing" than selling it to others. As if you don't need to transfer said files into a digital form to play it.
>>742349884>console is cheaper than pc therefore poor people tend to pick pcnice maths there retard sama.
>>742350385Yeah, compared to any other storage media today they're cheaper (fucking AI screwing up flash storage doesn't help). Besides, optical disks have the advantage of separating the actual media from the device, so the controller that takes care of the data isn't tied to the medium.This means that if you have a bad laser or something you can just pop in the disc on another reader. Meanwhile, an SSD with a failed controller means having to find an identical model to salvage and pray that it works. Then, if the actual NAND is kill, you're screwed.For preservation and ease of use in sharing/borrowing, optical is superior. Copying can also be done en masse thanks to duplicator systems.
>it's just additional content for your game>it's only a few bucks a mo ths to play online>who cares if the DLC is on the discord before release it doesnt change anything>who cares if your console requires you to be connected to the internet>who cares about game disc's not containing g the actual games>who cares about codes in a box>WHY DO YOU NEED A OHYSUCAL COPY ANYWAY CHUDJesus fucking Christ
>>742349171Why you like to suck Sony dick so muchPC is better than consoles for digital gaming because of DRM-free games and piracy.Everyone is guaranteed a digital copy of their PC game that you can put on any HDD, SSD, USB drive, or wherever you want, and that won't happen on a console.Good luck relying on a store that will sooner or later stop offering games and letting you download them from your account. Sony has also just announced that it will be closing the PS3 and PS Vita stores.https://blog.playstation.com/2026/07/01/an-update-on-playstation-store-for-ps3-and-ps-vita/Retard consolefag
>>742350608At the end of the day I just don't understand that. A computer program is not a physical thing. So if you buy the disk you don't own anything but a disk and the box it came in. I could pirate a bunch of games, burn them to disks, make cases for them, and line them up on a shelf. I don't do that because why would I do that.Only reason I can understand buying physical is to patronize a small developer you really like or something, or to get some other product along with it like an artbook.
>>742350723>PC is better than consoles for digital gaming because of DRM-free games and piracy.So consoles that are busted wide open are just as good, in your opinion?
>>742350608>I think it's more of a "I want to own the physical thing" than selling it to others.That's an even bigger fallacy since consoles are the definition of DRM. A locked down, closed system that you are only allowed to do what its manufacturer permits you.
>>742336851it's a twitter image mate
>>742349171Every game since 2013 has been on every platform you lying kike. Its not 2007.
>>742350770>why would I do thatBackups are important.
>>742350863>Every game since 2013 has been on every platformWrong.
>>742335032I wonder how much a 150Gb game costs depending if it’s physical or digital data
pc always wins baby
