I have like two physical PS5 games, I stopped caring about it as much when discs stopped actually saving you hard drive space.

I have to agree. Havent had a CD - DVD drive as apart of my PC build for a decade and an external USB was always available but I downloaded ROMs anyways.

People need to stop letting modern AAA get away with real issues like releasing unfinished games with the promise of continuous service or buying into Alpha / Beta then not finishing all the features.
The reason why gacha is laughing at AAA is because even though it is gambling they still develop content non stop and fulfill the idea of live service games.
Meanwhile get Cyberpunked or Battlefield tht takes half a year to fix. GTA6 being a buggy filled mess after leaving many features to AI incoming for example.

It's because most games just simply can't be on discs really in the future. Maximum capacity of a triple-layer Blu-ray is like 100GB. Games these days are 300GB. GTA6 will be at least 400GB. Having multiple discs is inconvenient...remember Wolfenstein on Xbox 360 had like 4 discs?

That's a rather bizarre criteria. Apathy definitely has its purpose; it is to help people remain sane during times of grief. Ignorance is a sin, I agree, but it serves the purpose of protecting an individual's worldview from being thrown into question, for better or worse.
>>
If you don't care then why don't you have a PC? Literally the only justifiable reason for owning any console was the ability to get a full copy of a game on disk. Without that, it's just a shit massively overpriced PC but without the freedoms. So why don't you have a PC?

The reason we have methods to deduce whether something is right or wrong is because if you cannot PROVE whatever it is that you are "right" about, then the claim is meaningless.

Yes anon, I am afraid that your incredibly lazy interpretation of how things work, optimistic as it may be, is at the absolute heart of what it means to be ignorant. You can never truly "know" anything if you cannot prove it. That is the cornerstone of mathematics, which is the cornerstone of engineering, which is the cornerstone of everything decent the human race has ever accomplished.

You would be wise not to treat it so lightly, ignorant cretin that you are.

It was literally inevitable, I just thought they're gonna finish the gen, not cut support mid gen.
I was upset back in 2012 when my Black Ops PC dics was nothing more than Steam key activator. But now, I own 3 physical versions out of like 200 games on PS5 - one was bundled with console, one I bought because I didn't want to own just one physical game and the 3rd one was a prize I won. For me, they were nothing more than a nuisance.
If you're gonna bitch about this, you better attach a photo of your physical PS5 game collection and a timestamp, because the number speaks for themselves, people just don't buy physical games anymore.

PEOPLE ARE NOT BEING ALLOWED TO BUY PHYSICAL GAMES ANYMORE.
YOU SAID IT YOURSELF.
Intentionally limited supply, physical games being sold with DIGITAL KEYS instead of an actual fucking game inside, it's all manipulation to get what they want: Total control over how you buy things and your money.

They want to crush the used games market.
They want to crush ownership of physical media (These are globalists, they are planning to turn you into slaves by 2030, wake the fuck up retard.)
They do not want you to own physical games, so they make up excuses to make it the "truth".

I play mostly on PC now but some years back I played exclusively on PS4
The first one is that they are stupidly expensive
The second one is that for some reason almost every single disc I had was weirdly finicky and 9 times out of 10 couldn't be read, I had to do some weird ninjutsu just to get it working, don't know if it was the PS4 or discs or what

>The second one is that for some reason almost every single disc I had was weirdly finicky and 9 times out of 10 couldn't be read, I had to do some weird ninjutsu just to get it working, don't know if it was the PS4 or discs or what
That's weird. Maybe you're just shooting electricity out of your hands or something because I exclusively own physical media and the only time I had a defected disc was a scratched disc 2 of Star Ocean: till the end of time for the Ps2.

Most of those apply to pirated games too. Piracy really is the best of both worlds. You get the ownership of physical media and the convenience of digital one

The 85% digital number is just as big a lie as 50% of gamers being women and 20% of Gen Z being LGBTQ+. "Digital purchases" can be anything from MTX to DLC to virtual currency. More people buy physical than Sony is letting on.

>I never understand the outrage.
Let me help you understand. I doesn't matter what games I selected here it applies to them all.

It also applies to Europe, Japan, any region.

See Steam has keys, and people can buy keys outside of their region for a cheaper price, a godsent for us Europeans not living in Germany but having to live with German Euro Default prices. I love the Euro but I don't make 3000€ a month I make 1500€ because I live in Croatia. So 80€ for a game is a bit much when I can find keys for say 50€ or 45€

Example I wanted to play Anno 117, On Steam it's usually 60€ not it's 41€ on Steam Sale. yet on Cdkeys.com now whatever it's called it's 28€ sure it's not on steam but Ubilauncher but I don't care.

With this move Sony is making themselves the only place to buy video games. And not to mention you can't buy used anymore. I can go in my dinky shitty 100k people city here called Osijek thats 300 km away from any real city and still find most popular PS5 games for 10~20€ used. Thats going to be gone. Sony was famous for one thing unlike Nintendo. Games lost value fast. You could buy everything 2 years alter for 1/3 the price if not 1/4.

>>742384824
Also this. Since they're counting fuckign discount bargain bin sales they have on PS Store into it yeah I bought more games digitally they phyiscally.

But every single big game I bought phyiscal. Elden Ring, FFXVI, Unicorn Overlord, All the Yakuza Spinofs like Justice, God of War, Piderman, Gran Turismo 7, Astro Bot, Metaphor, Clair Obscur, Demon's Souls, Persona 5 Royal, All the FFVI's, Death Strandign 2, etc...

But yes I have x2 shit like Dave the Diver or Gravity Rush 1 and 2 and other stuff I bought for like 10€ on PSN.

I have a PC 7800X3D with a 7900 XTX but some games I just prefer to play on the PS5. Sometimes I double dip if it comes sooner to PS5 and then it's a MP game i play with bros on the PC.
>>
>>742371627 (OP)
It's your choice, but you're missing the point. There's a difference between choosing not to own a physical copy, and being completely unable to own a physical copy. If you don't want to own a hard copy that's fine, you know the implications (the game can be removed at any time for any reasons, even if you bought it, and companies like nintendo and adobe, though in a difference sense, are known to do this), but the possibility of buying a hard copy is what makes the game or any other software yours as long as the copy is good (and I still have games from the 2000s), and people are upset because that is no longer an option.

Everything digital is valueless. There's just so much of everything, be it games, movies, music, drawings. Art being created digitally where its then bought and sold was always a mistake. Used to $20 was the low price for a physical video game, nowadays you can barely get someone to pay more than $10 for one.

>>742371627 (OP)
Video games are so shit they are not worth the plastic used to create physical copies anyway.

Literally nobody even buys physical media. There need to be laws in place that allow people to actually own their digital products, that would be great, but physical media is inconvenient and nobody really buys it anyway

This. Allowing Sony to own the monopoly of selling games will hurt absolutely everyone. No more second hand market means less buys and more pirating. Not to mention giving the whole market of non rich people to Steam and PC. When it comes to the choice of dropping 80+ sheckels for the latest slop or buying it much cheaper on PC, the decision is obvious to even the most retarded Snoyfag. This will make every single AAAA game a failure. More studios will close and more slop will be produced. GTA VII won't take a whole ten years to come out. It will take 3 years top because they know it will sell billions even if they just sell it as a literal expansion pack of VI.

Hopefully in this doom scenario a company will rise and push for a model of physical games on small games.

Yah, physical media has been dead since 7th gen. You can't even trade physical copies anymore. they're just a installation key.
>>
>>742371627 (OP)

This basically means that there is no real way to do meaningful “ reality checking”.

As physical media disappears so does the standardization of it.

Also enjoy adservice and renting along with pay to win whale mechanics in everything that is produced.

The craziest thing about all of this is that, assuming the PS6 is all digital, you won’t even be able to watch movies are play PS4/5 discs on it either.
They’re going to make you buy your whole PS5 library again if you want to play any of it.

Genuine question as someone who only buys physicals. People say sony can remove digital games from your library on a whim. Is that really legal? And if it is, what's stopping them from updating playstation to block physicals games too?

In an all-digital industry, you have to be out of your fucking mind to buy on console now. Who's to say ps6 games will be compatible and transferable to ps7? Who wants a console that's due to last 5-7 years before becoming obsolete? At least on PC that's not the same issue. I doubt MS cares because their big games like Halo will be on PC too, I doubt Xbox has much time left. But Sony has lost the plot.

It's wonderful seeing all these people that will be the last of their bloodlines bragging about the inevitable extinction of everything they liked, loved, and identified with in their lifetimes. You can't imagine how giddy, how absolutely smug, I feel when I see these bandwagoners preaching the gospel of AI. They are going to kill you, anon. Look, there was a time when we were capitalist, when whether or not we would buy something mattered. The difference now is that they tell you what to buy. What happened, anon? Listen, what they understand that you don't is that the reason they say the world is overpopulated is because the race is too prolific to govern. It's not about nature, clearly. Where are the voices pointing out that the literal same people that bludgeoned you over climate change are building data centers in national parks. "It's inevitable". Yeah, running the cycle to this point always happens. See you in 300k years, anon.
