This is horrific, this is a dystopian nightmare. I'm pissed I have to agree to terms in my car, I'm pissed that my buttons for heat/ac have to load.

RE the #PSBlackout: It's only one step of many we have to take. It's not intended to be the single savior. It can't be. We all know that. There has to be more. It's announced for a week to be easier to join. If you can, do more. Start now. Continue after. Cancel PS+. Stop buying.
If you are dissatisfied with PlayStation halting the production of physical game discs, write and address your concerns to the SONY GROUP Board of Directors. Put your thoughts into a polite and respectful one-page typed letter to the SONY Group in Japan. See image below. Spread the word. Repost.
The next option to voice your displeasure over Sony killing physical media. Write them in the real world! A peaceful letter that communicates your concerns. Will you try this? What other actions/campaigns against Sony's plans have you heard of?

Xbox has exclusives again, the Call of Duty deal ends in 2033. Xbox could announce COD as exclusive in '33 at the start of the next console gen. Sony has no cards to play to generate excitement for PS6 because they are still living off the PS4. #psblackout
Gene@37gene.bsky.social · 6d agoI GUARANTEE Sony adds the disc drive back by the end of the first year of the PS6. Sales will go down, people will move to PC. They are working on a backout plan if it doesn't go well and its not going to go well. That's what they mean by cautious. #psblackout

VGC@videogameschronicle.com · 6d ago"We’re going to cautiously move this forward" - Sony says it hears the PlayStation disc backlash but will continue its plans. CFO Lin Tao said its focus was on trying to "engage the gamers" in "the future digital ecosystem". www.videogameschronicle.com/news/were-go...
oh yay the cons of having to go to a place, with the cons of having to download it from the store.

We were told that no game passed 275,000 physical sales this year. Nunbers are way down, its OK for Sony to kill off discs. Capcom just released their numbers and RE9 sold 8 million copies. Are we to believe that RE9 sold 275,000 copies physically and 7.725 million copies digitally? No way.
I will also be participating in the #PSBlackout

24 hours after the announcement and #PSBlackout is already a partial success! Players, creators and media continue to spread awareness about the downsides of a digital-only future, and why physical games are important. Keep educating people! Keep the backlash going!
I am supporting #PSBlackout. Fuck you, Sony. You wanna treat us like this? You wanna act like we are beneath you? Well, got Steam on my gaming laptop. Ain't played Starcraft in a while.
PlayStation fans are planning a week-long blackout to protest Sony's disc-less gaming future

New "ad" for the all-digital future just dropped! Xbox services down and once again, many people are barred from downloading, playing or purchasing games. Add to that the small legal inconvenience that they can just rip purchases from your library or ban accounts for no reason.
