This guy turned his son into a tranny and is proud of it.

>the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the fewer
Isn't that exactly what these libbos want? That's quite literally socialism in a nutshell.
>>
>>744665851
>Includes literally any downloads including digital only and free games
>>
>>744665469
What needs of the digital only players are being met exactly?
>>
>>744665851
>digital sales including DLC and games never offered as a physical release
When taking games that were offered as both a physical release and a digital release the physical sales accounted for over 60% of sales of those games, per the data direct from Sony first party studio Insomniac.
>>
>>744665469
What customer "needs" to not have physical copies as an option? Did 51% of Sony fans become deathly allergic to bluray discs and no one noticed until recently?
>>
The needs of the shareholders outweigh the needs of the customers.
>>
Physical games are a big LARP anyways so who cares.
>I actually OWN it
Most of the game needs to be downloaded or received 50GB of updates to function.
>I’m PRESERVING games
You’re not.
>But I can SELL it
Are you poor?

And I should care what this emasculated cuckold thinks why exactly?
>>
>>744666745
Most newer game I can load up ps3 or 3 discs just fine and they're 50000000000× better than ps5 and (lmao) ps6 garbage
>>
>>744666315
Yeah but you weren’t supposed to see that
>>
>>744665469
Yeah

there'll be fewer customers buying PS6 lmao
>>
>>744665469
Then why are they kneeling to minorities? Why do the needs of those few outweigh the needs of the majority?

That Kratos would murder Baldr just by staring at him.
>>
>>744665469
This is such a stupid fucking argument when pivoting to digital only doesn't actually improve the user experience at all, zip, nada, zero (0). It would make sense if they had something concrete to offer, like making it possible to resell your digital library or offering stronger digital owner protections but nope, they're just removing consumer options altogether to their own benefit.

That man has a tranny son
You shouldn't care what he's saying in the first place

How does selling Physical copies afect the needs of the many.
Unless Sony is willing to lower price of games.
Like if games ware now 20$ cheaper because they are all digital only id understand because now more people can afford them.
But we all know Sony will likely raise the price of games again when the PS6 comes out.
>>
>>744665469
I didn't realize 1s and 0s would disappear completely if disc factories were allowed to remain in existance.
>>
>>744665469
"The lowest common denominator is easier to cater to, stupid enough to buy all of our shit without question, and risk-averse."
Exactly. This is what I've been saying for years.
Kill all normies.
>>
>>744668535
>>744668869
Do it.
>>
>>744665851
How many of those digital sales are DLC or microtransactions?
>>
>>744665969
Are you an idiot?
They are talking out of their assess, if anything it's the opposite.
For them, the needs of the few (shareholders) outweigh the needs of the many (customers).
>B-but I don't buy physical
You are an idiot, it's about price control.
Before with physical games you could find a deal on Amazon, Ebay, Gamestop and such, now you'll have to deal with Sony pricing no matter what.
Have fun buying 90 or even 100 dollars games, no deals, no alternative.
>>
>100 dollars for the shittiest games imaginable
>can't even resell or even hold them
You deserve everything thats coming
>>
>>744665661
You used a slur, so your opinion about that deserves to be ignored.

>>744665469
>The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the fewer
That's actually a nice line
>>
>>744665469
How big is the vinyl industry?

>gun and ball
I wouldn't be surprised if that makes up more than three quarters of all sales.
>>
>>744665469
I genuinely wonder why people find this surprising. The average console player is absolute cattle. No fucking way they give a shit about physical systems going away.
>>
>>744665469
>The needs of the many customers outweigh the needs of the fewer

I agree, so let's remove all the DEI shit
>>
>>744667465
Sooo…what’s the official cope for this question?
>>
>>744665469
So how exactly does this benefit the many?
>>
>>744665469
And how, pray tell, does digital only does anything for the many? digital only on playstation means the end of second hand or alternate store purchases, it means the end of lending a game to friends, it means the end of using one´s console as a multimedia center to play dvd or bluray movie discs and absolute submission to region locked streaming services. Just like it happens with the forced online mechanics there is no way to disguise this as a benefit to the users, be it the many or the few.
>>
>>744667036
But he made God of War years ago and literally nothing since so his words are law
Same reason everybody worships the ground the guy who peaked in High Schools and is now fat walks on
