Why are Sony abandoning physical media? >PS1CD-ROM (700MB)>PS2DVD-ROM (4.7GB)>PS3BD-ROM (50GB)>PS4BD-ROM (50GB)>PS5UHD BD (100GB)>PSP Universal Media Disc (UMD) (1.8GB)
They want you to pay $25 a month for a small collection of approved popular media. Your niche, pay once, unrevokable physical collection is a Problematic Threat containing potential dangerous ideas that needs to be eliminated.
>>750249234Used games.
>>750249234Wouldn't this rape their anime BD profits?
>>750249234I havent used physical media in decades, but then again i only bough a few games in decades, all on steam, the rest piratedall this to say if you care about physical media then you are a cuck
Every iteration since CD has been made to stop piracy yet they always fail. So they are going full SGX-layer type stuff, your movies and vidya will be keyed to your CPU itself in your devices.
>>750249234>Why are Sony abandoning physical media? because (You), yes (You), stopped purchasing physical media>inb4 I didn't post latest physical game bought from gamestop/whatever gaming store chain, amazon or other online stores etc
>>750252575This too.
>>750249234So they can stream compressed garbage to you while you pay a premium monthly subscription and own nothing.
>>750249234Because they "sell" movie and series licenses and other shit in their digital stores that they can revoke at any moment. If they sell you a disk, it'll stay with you even after the license is gone. It's very bad. You wouldn't want Snoy to struggle financially, right, goyim?
who the fuck wants to put up with all the bullshit with buying a movie disc made with sound and video standards nobody can agree on, dolby just makes it worse and worse with all thier inane bullshit.and these dumb ass execs wonder why people flocked to streaming and flat out pirating movies instead.
>>750249234Because uhh AI and Drumpf??
>>750249234I actually regret all the physical media I have in my house when all that fucking space could be used for FAR cooler things. But hey, it was a different time. Long time ago, couldn't be helped.
>>750249234For every one customer that buys physical, there are like 10,000 that don't. Let me put it this way: Do you really see any future in blu-ray? Or any successor to it? The reality is that Sony is rapidly approaching a point where having factories pumping out devices that play BRDs is no longer financially viable.There's obviously corporate greed involved, but sooner or later, production of physical media will result in a net loss.
It seems insane to me that people wouldn't take advantage of physical media on consoles, either buying used games, reselling titles you were meh on, or just having the satisfaction of a case for a game you spent 70$ on.
>>750249234Games no longer fit on physical media because devs are incompetent retards circlejerking graphics and uncompressed audio quality.
>>750249234>BD-ROM (50GB)Standard Blu-Ray was 25GB, not 50GB. 50 was for dual layer and DVD had those too for some 8.5GB PS2 games.
>>750253887Convenience always wins. Most players these days don't really replay games they've beaten once.
>>750254258I mean, fuck, most players don't beat the games they buy at all. Physical means nothing to these people.
>>750253887thing is for all we know people do take advantage, if they're buying used sony will be completely blind to it.
>>750253887I emphasized this to my younger brother during the PS3 era. He wanted me to buy him a digital Dark Souls because it's faster than going to the store and he though discs and boxes were clutter. I told him he could resell the game later but thinking in the future is not something young people do.
>>750254258conveience in terms of dlc sloppa sure, but that 70$ game you buy 1-3 times per year. makes sense to me to splurge on a free collectable and resale value next time you get groceries at walmart, or hell costco..
>>750254452Always remember: we do not represent the majority.
>>750254452as much as there are advantages being chained to a fragile drm device for as long as you own the game isn't nothing. with internet speeds and bandwidth as mature as they are now and the requirement of still installing data the only benefit of the disc while owning it is a theoretical future 20 years down the road where digital obligations collapse.
>>750254731It doesn't matter anyway. Most normalfags don't actually give a fuck what'll happen to their games in 20 years.
>>750254731you are putting 100x more thought into this than the average normie buyer.
>>750254884>>750254794>>750254731NBA 2K is one of the bestselling games in the world and every two years it deletes every digital copy everyone ever bought along with all of the (mandatory to actually play) microtransactions and DLC and then changes the number on the title and tells everyone to buy it againAnd not only does everyone buy it again, nobody complains
>>750249234Money
>>750249234PS2 games were CD roms (~700mb), single layer DVD5 (~4.7gb), dual layer DVD9 (8.5gb)
>>750253586You're forgetting Elon Musk and Putler sis
>>750252575Everything I can.
>>750249518>physical>nicheYou will always be a normalfag with a hipstercomplex.
>>750256769And you will always be an autistic little retard incapable of understanding sarcasm
