>PlayStation founder Ken Kutaragi says discs became "metaphor for 'owning' games", and that upset at their discontinuation is a "mentality issue"https://www.eurogamer.net/ken-kutaragi-playstation-discs>Ken Kutaragi, the founder of PlayStation and architect of the first three PlayStation consoles, has said that people being upset about Sony's discontinuation of game discs is probably a "mentality issue". He understands it, he noted, but that doesn't make it "economically reasonable" for Sony to keep printing them.>"I really understand [why some people are upset]," he added, "but I don't think it's economically reasonable. Maybe it's a mentality issue."
>>750036603Don't care lmao I never owned a coonsoole, I own a PC and I own all the games that I pirate
They truly want to lose money
>but that doesn't make it "economically reasonable" for Sony to keep printing themyeah except the only reason they stopped making discs is to cut costs after losing billions on the ps5 and the shit games they made for it
>>750036772they are making record profits
He's right. If buying those physical games meant the software on them was your property, you could make copies of them and hand them out for free or sell them for profit.Everyone always knew that you didn't own the game, just the disc
>>750036603>Just because corpos stopped putting complete games on disks, and now you're at the mercy of whatever the fuck whim they feel like, that's YOUR problem lol, no. glad I'm not bothering with modern gaming anymore, what cancer
>>750036817They are going to flop harder than the Dreamcast i am not cuck you are fuck the PlayStation brand digital games are a scam
it's okay guys, you just need to be more spineless in the face of corporate oppression like the honorabru japanese
In the end of the article he proposes a solution to current hardware problems too - doubling down on putting all the resources in AI so that everything can be streamed without private hardware ownership.>Kutaragi's advice? Harness AI and cloud computing to their full potential and "we won't need any console".You truly are going to own nothing. In near future you are not going to even have a choice of hardware ownership because nobody sells it to private customers anymore. Data centers are the new target audience.
>>750036817Weird how they're making record profits, but act like keeping games physical is some kind of unaffordable endeavor.

>>750036793and that their Bluray copyright expires next year and goes public which means Sony stops getting royalties and anyone can self publish and produce discs and players like with dvd and cdlast time after dvd went public they had the BD and MS had the HD DVD, BD wonthen BD killed PC diskdrives purely because the drm was a pain in the ass for them on prebuilt and those were the early days of someone trying a sub service,UHD BD, dunno about that one, but the DRM on it its so obxonius 4k remained a meme rez and everyone stuck at 1080p

>>750036817>using shitstain shareholder logic to justify late stage capitalism bullshitdrink bleach
>>750036603im not listening to the guy who wanted to ship the PS3 without a dedicated GPU wich mean the console had to work in a outdated aftermarket NVIDIA GPU
He's right.Nobody uses disks for anything anymore.The problem isn't that disks are obsolete and people are ludites who want a useless old tech for irrational reasons.The problem is that when disks were actually utalitarian one could expect to be able to trade and use their game freely without the imput of the company that sold it to them.It was ownership in practice, whatever the terms and conditions said, and generally the law agreed, as owning a disk was the same as owning a book. You had the right to re-sell it and companies could not just disable it remotely.That reality slowly faded away unnoticed by the masses. But the removing of the last vestige of that olde time of liberty has reminded the masses of what they've been deprived of silently.Unless there is some move to legislate ownership of digital only games as discrete things and not as something that can be bundled into your account, this is just the last gasp of an era quickly fading away.fyi: Legally you can sell your account holding any number of games, as per legislation on digital licences being transferable, but there is no requirement to allow you to resell your games individually. This is different from legislation on phisical media holding games, like disks.
>>750036943It's funny as shit that he thinks Sony will own a gaming brand in such an environment. Phasing out the console will be phasing out Playstation in its entirety. I can't wait for these idiots to start doing exactly that, let's see how it works out for them when they've made themselves redundant.
>>750036603>Does not allow reselling digital copies of games in countries where they are legally obligated to do so like the EU>Has deleted media from their digital services recently>Claiming warranty on faulty Dualsense controllers required knowing the serial number of the controller which was printed externally on the controller in ink that would simply wipe off well before the warranty expiredThis would not be an issue if Sony had a trustworthy reputation or if the end user had full control over their console and cloud storage. Owning a console is a hostage situation and we do not negotiate with terrorists.>>750036834You own a copy of the game and a license to play it, not just the disc. In the EU this would be true even if you downloaded the game.Corpos trying to come up with schizophrenic amalgams of copyright law by picking and choosing whatever they like best from Japan, the EU and the US and applying that law globally will never not be hilarious and dystopian.>>750037018>bluray copyrightPatent. At least use the correct clownworld terminology.
>>750037018I've looked into 4k Blu-ray and honestly it might be one of Sony's worst formats ever. Insane DRM, its almost impossible to play on a PC without buying somenq0 year old rare disc drive. Most CPUs don't even support the DRM anymore since it was a security flaw. Most standalone 4k Blu-ray players seem to have issues too, the players and discs are poorly made and even enthusiasts on youtube are constantly complaining about planned obsolescence. At most they last 5 years or so. Its bizarre since 4k Blu-ray is barely even a new format, its based off the PC BD-XL, which worked fine of regular Blu-ray burners.
>>750036603I don't think it is economically reasonable to buy a PS6.
>>750037109dunno with vinyls making a comeback and the enshitification of everything they could just come back randomly
>>750037138It's Netflix and its billion competitors all over again, everyone wants to create a rent-seeking platform with subscription fee and now they see AI and cloud streaming as the next opportunity. Funnily enough Microsoft scaled their cloud gaming service down because it is too expensive to stream AAA games and network infrastructure seems like it is going to be a serious bottleneck for foreseeable future no matter what cloud computing innovations are made.
>>750037259ironically enough the best, not a pain in the ass 4k bd player is the ps5
>>750036603It is not a mentality issue though, for consolefag it's a very, very real, practical issue of ownership and control over the games they pay for. Sony has literally removed paid content from PlayStation users before, if they don't have the discs then the customers have LITERALLY NOTHING to ensure they can maintain access to the games they paid for.
Is it ever a surprise the ones making such dogshit decisions for the sake of profit are old, retarded, out of touch boomers? You will never find a demographic more suited to destroying a company's future than the fucking retarded boomer generation.They think they are right 100% of the time, and any evidence that goes against their stupid bullshit is somehow offensive and not true in their dumb rotted minds.There needs to be age limits for board and member positions in companies if they wish to remain level-headed. This is just fucking silly at this point. Boomers should be in nursing homes getting abused by somali immigrants, not holding positions of power in government and corporations. Fucking worthless sacks of subhuman shit, all of them.
>>750036817Sony Music is making money.
>>750037279the issue is game size and the price of a disk being able to hold one these daysgames have simple grown faster than cheap media to put them onmusic is immune to this because the information needed to play a song is always going to be about the same, regardless of physical carrier

>>750037428fair enough, but the fact that cyberpunk can be put on a single BD including DLC or catdrige (switch2) tells mes its a unironical skill issue, we are not getting better graphics at all since 2015-2016 for te most part, just bloated software made by people that ahve no diea how to do anything outside of unreal engine guidelines
>>750036603Piracy is a metaphor for "buying" games.
People>>750037639Both those versions already had several updates beyond whats on the disc/cartridge.
>>750037428This is not a problem and has never been a problem. In the PS1 days they just put games on multiple discs if the game didn't fit on a single one, very simple, problem solved. In fact it would be even EASIER to do it today, as games nowadays don't even run off the discs anymore, they get installed to the console anyway.This is a complete nothingburger, just install the game from multiple discs. It's a complete non-issue.
>>750036603That's crazy that my "metaphor for 'owning' games" still works if I put it in my playstation 2
>>750037735its just bug fixes, and honestly, you should be able to update the game if its on a catdrige, optionally
They really should've let the frog fully boil instead of pulling the plug before its time, the digital % was increasing greatly year by year anyways, you bet the next ones to pull this won't even get 1/10th of the outrage.

>>750037395Preceding generations were also pretty bad.>Lost generation AKA generation Lead>Greatest Generation AKA generation Dupont>Silent Generation AKA generation "The supreme court isn't meant to be a check on congress">>750037331Always-online consoles mean that even this safety net is just a placebo. If Sony wants to blacklist a game because the license ran out, then consoles simply won't play the disc.
>>750038009oh neat, but I insist you should be able to update your catdrige at least, also its mostly jsut cosmetics anyway
>>750038083Are modern consoles always-online? My newest console is a Switch and it's not always online. It plays cartridges without an online connection.
>>750036603If buying isnt owning then piracy isnt stealing. Have a good day friend.
>>750038157no, a lot of games run from disc/catdrige stillhttps://www.doesitplay.org/
>>750038157Nintendo doesn't count. Ask any FTC lawyer.
>>750036817Thanks for paying folks. Couldn't be me though lol
>>750036603What if your sister gives you her old vidya collection? is that still owning? I'm holding one of them right now, seems like I do, weird. It even loads the game when I put it on my console, you know the one that I also own.
is he wrong?
>>750036817then they can sell physical games and fund more concords and TLOU remakes/remasters.
>>750038480no that's not owning, even though it is, but it's not legally, but it is in real life
>>750038480As much as people tend to simp for Japan, and even I do for a lot of things, never forget their elite corpos are control freaks and some of the most vile humans on the world, specially the older ones
>>750036603You are brown and do not understand englishWhat he said was not an insult and was absolutely true Please die.
>>750038481no not logicallyhowever the entire concept of software licensing rather than ownership because physical ownership implies legal rightsholding is extremely jewish and gay and i wish for a second holocaust
>>750038709no u
>>750036603He's saying that physical discs now symbolize the idea that a game will stay in a user's library forever despite them not being the same thing and points out nobody whines about physical on a phone because they don't expect their apps to disappear.He's 100% correct.
>>750038787>I don't understand why copyright is a thing for verticals where the cost of copying the end product is near zeroThat's because you're incredibly stupid and our public schools failed you.
>Nooooo!!!!!1!>You don't own that game even though you bought it!!!!!1!>We want more money!!!!!1!>You only bought the right to pay us a monthly fee!!!!!1!>That's right, no more do you pay us once-and-done!!!!!1!>now you must pay up front and then subscribe monthly to play our game!!!!!1!>Yes, $80 to get in the door, and then $29.99 per month!!!!!1!>Why?>Because fuck you, that's why!!!!!1!These greedy corporations in this industry deserve to crash and burn. And the greedy millionaire/billionaire executives in this industry deserve a much worse fate.
>>750038915who's they?
>>750036603He's right (though for the wrong reasons)you don't own the hardware, you don't own the OS. Sony gets to dictate what you can and can't do on the hardware you paid money for.
Okay let's get this straight. Selling someone a permanent product and then claiming they don’t actually own it is both morally wrong and legally unenforceable.It’s as absurd as telling restaurant diners they can't take home leftover food they paid for, or telling someone they don't own a tool bought at a hardware store.While trademark and patent laws prevent you from mass-producing counterfeit goods with their IP those laws dont invalidate the First Sale Doctrine. Once you legally purchase a genuine product, you have every right to resell it because you paid for it with legal tender earned by the sweat on your brow. You own it permanently even if you don't own the right to make copies of it and sell it.Pretending otherwise destroys your reputation, everyone is going to hate you morally because it's wrong no matter what any law says and overall even the legal system doesn't fully support you

>>750039423It's amazing Every word you just said was wrong
>>750037781I hate the videogame, but FF7 remake part 1 on the PS4 did this. One disc installed the game, the other played the game. Didn't hear any complaints.
You kids wouldn't be so mad if you could actually readIt's like the opposite of that KOTH meme
>>750038915That's not true though, I've lost access to a lot of apps including a paid version of Lumines. Nobody cares about it on phones because the state of mobile gaming is a complete joke.
>>750036949Stop fucking noticing, dirty goyim
>>750036603
>>750037781So your solution to discs no longer containing the full game is for discs to no longer contain the full game?You kids don't even know what you're mad about It's remarkable
>>750039486Wrong. Digital DRM and licensing is morally wrong. Also legally unenforceable. You sell a product permanently I own it. No amount of licensing hoo-ha will change this.Even if they were right which they aren't you will still never get people to give up their possessions they work for with their hard-earned money. Go and try and break into my house and steal my tools I paid for after your fancy schmancy lawyers say that I only bought them under a license for temporary use or some movie studio revokes my Blu-ray license for a movie I own.Look at that they still are in my possession legally and I'm willing to bet a judge or two out there in my state will agree with me
>>750039569He's giving the whiners the benefit of the doubt and trying to acknowledge their very stupid concerns. He's being diplomatic because he's a Japanese businessman.He can't just come out and say "gamers are a uniquely stupid and angry group easily led by the nose into random bitch fits"
>>750039675>DRM is morally wrong and legally unenforceable That's three strikes, you're outta here
>>750036603They are doing it now because with AI now you can recomp any game. So consoles are effectively a dead business
>>750036603Lol he's not doing Sony any favors by talking all that shit, no wonder hackers immediately went for Sony while Xbox and Nintendo haven't been hit. This is proof right here that gamers are actually more ethical than what the anti gamergate retards claim, Nintendo and Microsoft haven't talked all this shit and the hackers didn't go after them, Sony talked mad shit on their customers, on their own workers, fired their devs to replace them with Ai and now those same workers came back with a vengeance. Notice how the troons getting fired by Microsoft aren't coming back with reverse engineering Xbox shit, because they were genuinely useless troons, but Sony had legit engineers that they fired for AI and those guys just joined the hacking scene and started dropping bombs on Sony because they're fans of gaming as well. I know Microsoft and Nintendo are supporting Sony behind the scenes with trying to lock down gaming as a rental service, and I'm praying they're going to let hubris settle in and they open their mouth when they think they have gamers by the balls, because that will be the reason all their shit gets hacked for ethical reasons.
>>750039778>Bro with AI you can recomp any game!Congratulations In a thread full of illiterate dipshits and Indians you have managed to be the dumbest and the brownest
>>750036603Ummmm yeah so basically I have decided it's not "economically reasonable" to purchase a new playstation system as the upfront cost of a PC are made up by the store variety and the resulting price competition while the much cheaper competitor by nintendo allows me to recoop money from my physical game purchases if so desired.
>>750039842I will play GTA VI on PC while you seethe and cope lmao. Xbox released Xbox Labs because they know consoles are dead
>>750039801>"Consumers have real concerns and when they say 'physical discs' what they mean is 'don't take my games'">YO SONY WHY YOU TALKING SHIT WE SHOULD ROB YOUWhen did the people on this site become this stupid?How did you even write all that reactionary bullshit when you clearly can't read? Did you dictate it? What's wrong with you?
>>750038481If you go to the sony store the letters "BUY" are clearly visible. So he is lying to his consumers and loyalists when they cannot buy games
>>750036603>>PlayStation founder Ken Kutaragi says discs became "metaphor for 'owning' gamesyeah because you deleted digital copies of movies utterly proving that you literally don't own digital shit, while disc ownership is still contested.this is 'effect' stemming from your 'cause', sony
>playstation still desperately trying to obfuscate that their games on disc drop to 40 bucks within weeks>snoy shills tasked to make the discussion about ownership not hiking pricesI rather install egs now, thank you sony.
>>750039734People will just copy and take their ownership back from scam revocable licenses, in that case.People will just pirate from steam.You are not going to sell a person a product permanently and then force them into a scam contract on a platform that has 90% Monopoly market share like steam because that's the only place where the game is sold.It's not even a crime on a state level in the US.On the federal level it's not even a misdemeanor until you reach a certain threshold that has to be proven in a 6 month period.So legally unenforceable and morally wrong, again.No local police in the US will ever do anything as it violates no local jurisdiction, and even on a federal level they have no power unless they want to prosecute tens of millions of people, and go through the process of proving each one downloaded certain files in a window, which would take tens of thousands of tax dollars for each case.

The entire system is based on theft, everyone knows fiat currency that can be inflated away pits the debtor against the creditor, the who save money are continuously being robbed by inflation that the debtors vote for. Your big corporations privatise their profits and their losses are subsidized by the tax payer via inflation. Every loan, every piece of currency loaned into existence comes at the expense of everyone else. An entire system built on theft and you think you have any standing by calling anyone a thief, LMFAO, don't you have homework you should be doing with that level 1 thinking and crying? Little baby fresh out of school. Hahaha "muh thief" cries the retards that claim "buying isn't owning".

>>750040418Torrents and direct download sites uploading these links. They're all in Eastern Europe or Russia so you're never going to catch them.They'll never do anything. Steam is a scam. It is a permanent purchase, morally and legally, no matter what fake laws have not been amended. It is first sale doctrine. Digital purchases are the same legal tender as physical with the same physical labor.No matter what digital EULA steam says, I bought it, I own it.I buy product I own it simple as.
>>750040574I don't know why you think torrents are relevant to this dialogue except that your grasp of English is so poor you literally can't follow it.Enjoy your righteous indignation you intensely stupid foreigner.
>>750036603so 10 year old me swapping NES games with my friends. Buying or selling NES games at the pawnshop..That was very much 'ownership' in every sense but the IP meaning.
>>750036603He is actually correct. It's pretty fucking hilarious how apparently console cucks for years were convinced they "owned" anything when they willingly gave up ownership in exchange for retard-friendly solutions and ease of use.PC chads especially know that physical stopped being "ownership" in the 2000's.The only way to actually "own" anything is to have a computer with Linux and a bunch of games and software backed up on external drives.

I actually agree that its become very obvious that discs are on the way out.I think the disc thing has just become a stand-in for console players getting so endlessly cucked. The real difference between PC and Consoles was never really about graphics or game availability or anything, it was about to what degree you were forced to endure endless nickel and diming from big corporations. It is very obvious that console players are probably the most cucked people on earth, but the argument has now become whether Xbox/Playstation players are bigger cattle.The disc thing will fizzle out eventually, but the anger over endlessly getting boned on exclusive locked platforms will not. I feel bad for the people who waited too long to switch to PC, and frankly when my PC dies I will probably just cobble together whatever old parts I can to play stuff I already own. I will never entrap myself on a fucking console again.

>>750041854I do not disagree with you on that; maybe on the timeframe, but the end result is exactly that.That's an overarching direction society is going though.In general is it's a surrender of personal responsibility/liberty/freedom/control in lieu of top down control.

>>750039423No it's like selling incredients to the restaurant to make a dish but they don't own the ingredients (the only own license of said ingredients) so they can't make money out of the dish they prepared for a customer
The funny thing is, they could get away with this shit a lot easier if they made good games. Sony is doing this while dropping dogshit for years in a row. But if they were selling good games I think the conversation over physical copies wouldn't have come up. The shareholders wouldn't be asking for cost cutting so hard if they were in the black through success.
>>750042068Quite the opposite, really. It's part of a trend of abandoning actual control mechanisms in democracy for the sake of number go up. We capitalism'd so hard we're returning to feudalism.
>>750036772They're basically stuck now, since they already need the plant for optical microlenses for fiber and camera optics, which makes more money per input dollar than anything DADC did before.I don't know why they don't just fold though-Decrease games on PSN, make the standard game $50 again.Release physical games on PS Cards at $144. PS Cards don't require the game to be installed. (it's just an SSD)Games that need something bigger than 256GB (COD?) need a PS Card+ that's 512GB and game on Card+ are $229. (or still $50 on PSN)

>>750036603My cousin married a guy who's father was a higher up at Sony starting in '92 and said when they were working on the DVD players they were considering having movies that weren't distributed by Sony/Columbia Pictures work horribly on the machines thinking that it would make people buy only movies distributed by them. Then a few months later they'd release a more expensive player that would work with all studio's movies. He said it would have been the stupidest business decision ever if it ended up happening.

>>750041003The thing is discs are not organically on their way out. It's being astroturfed. Technology is not comfortably at the level where we can reliably kick physical media to the curb. Our infrastructure hasn't changed since 1979 and can't support an all digital eco system on a macro scale.
>>750042324I can easily see that from '90s Sony.
>>750044542Don't know because I would have bought up their entire stock.
>>750041501Yes, now you understand. In addition to all of this the executives who make the decisions that lose Sony all this money and public trust will never face consequences for their terrible decisions, but the people under them sure will!
