>Sony ends production of physical media for games in 2028
>SONY IS FINISHED
It's unbelievable how much of a sheltered corner of the internet this is. Nobody is buying games physically to the degree any of you think they are and they haven't for a while. The 3-4 hundred people on /v/ and the minority of people who spend their days and lives online following video games (of which a good percentage of those people don't buy physical much either) isn't indictive of the greater scope of people who buy video games.

PlayStation isn't "dead" by any means. PS6 will still sell and you will still buy it anyway along with games for it.

they are also shutting down 2 digital stores. Now get fucked bootlicker.

They're turd world steamgroids who don't actually play games, don't pay them attention.

where does it say "your purchased games will stop working or something" you anime reaction pic retard?
>>
>>742357120
and on top of everything else now I have to find my ps3 to download whatever fits that I bought before they pull the plug forever and never ported those games, just fantastic news all around, I sure don't think there is a concerted effort to piss off the entire western world at once to cause civil wars /sarcasm
>>
>>742357572
they're closing the store to new purchases and allowing everyone to DL old purchases in perpetuity
whats teh problem exactly?
>>
>>742356049
Friend you might be retarded. This is Sony giving up visible marketshare and headspace to normies.

The people they want buying games at "adaptive pricing" aren't 40 year old uncs that bought every playstation. Its the gun and ball normies that discover a game because they saw it in amazons top sellers or on a shelf in walmart.

They just announced they are entirely ceding that to Nintendo so now Sony marketing is the only way people will know of their games. To us thats no big deal as we are "heavy user enthusiast" sickos, but to the billion normies they want? their games are going to cease to exist entirely.

A sony ceo is going to see photos of walmart changing their gaming section to "nintendo products" and straight shit themselves.

It was never about selling physical media. It was about reminding the mouthbeathers the game exists with the pound for pound cheapest form of marketing that exists.

>>742357814
in the mind of pclards ps store == PSN, don't question their logic
>>
you vill own nothing

So now games will never go down in price or be available second hand for less money. They will forever remain at MSRP and you have no choice.
>>
>>742357814
Reminder you can STILL do this with the Wii right now. If you still have the Wii you had at the time and downloaded games from the Wii Shop Channel, you can still get the games you bought at the time.

Probably wont be a problem, lmao

Unless they plan to have their servers taken out by an EMP blast there's literally nothing that prevents it from working as intended, and as long as PSN services are active you can download your shit

>>742356049
Daily reminder that Snoy has awful refund policies. To get a digital game refunded you pretty much have to sue them. And this is without mentioning that console architectures change all the time, they shut down digital stores all the time, they don't always offer backwards compatibility, Snoy gets hacked like once a year too. Going digital only on consoles is complete and total retardation.

It's just bad PR for Sony. Console gaming has few advantages over PC and to take away one of the few things things people actually like is a bad move
>>
>>742356049
I don't think they're finished but I'm finished with them, sure they'll still have legions of retarded kids and normgroids who only play ball and gun games that will mindlessly buy it but there's literally zero advantage to getting a PS6 now

Thing is it's something like 15% for them this gen which is a lot more than they ever made on their PC releases, so his is 100% just part of the conspiracy for you too own nothing.
Unfortunately for them they've made 95% of games suck ass now so I think I'll play what little I'm still looking forward to from this gen (minus GTA) and the fat lady sings for vidya.

They might backtrack. They did when they were going to shut down the PS3 store.

no nigga, they won't, the PS6 won't even have a disc drive, shit's far too far along to just do a 180, it's over
also they're shutting the PS3/vita store down now

I'm more disappointed that if the PS6 doesn't have a disc drive, odds are it won't be backwards compatible with PS4 and PS5. If I have to buy a $1000+ device in it's own closed ecosystem, i'd rather just build a PC.

There's at least 20-40 million that cares about physical on Playstation. Why the fuck would they buy PS6 when they don't get what they want? It's clear Sony's very confused. They ported everything to PC, claims people like PC because of "monitors." Claims not to care about the hybrid model but now they're doing a PS portable etc etc etc. They're clueless. They lost to Nintendo. They lost to PC. And giving up physical they're also losing one of the only advantages that PS has vs PC

People are going to wise up to your jewish bullshit and then they will gouge your eyes out like they have done all throughout history. It might take them a little while to wake up, but they will.

I personally hope Sony goes under now and for sure won't be buying a PS5 anymore let a lone a PS6.
