CJ Heckfire @cj-heckfire.bsky.social · 05/10/2026A chunk of my movie collection is from the $5 DVD bin at Walmart. They have flimsy cases and often lack bonus features, but full movie, no scratches. Why is there is no video game equivalent? I just need them in a playable condition for a cheap price and you can't always get that secondhand. 000

CJ Heckfire @cj-heckfire.bsky.social · 30/08/2026There are other consoles which still support physical games, PC store fronts that are DRM-free and over 30 years of physical PS games I can continue to enjoy. If PlayStation is determined to part ways with me in 2028 that's their loss. But they can't say they didn't see it coming. 000
CJ Heckfire @cj-heckfire.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Sony’s decision to end physical media is pure corporate greed. They want to cut out the cost of manufacturing and distributing games, kill the 2nd hand market and force all users into their ecosystem. It's anti-consumer and anti-competitive. They are betraying their former collaborators and fans. 100
CJ Heckfire @cj-heckfire.bsky.social · 30/08/2026And that's to not mention the ownership concerns with digital. Sony has given us no assurance that our digital libraries will last as long as us, and the facts show they will cut the sole means of acquiring digital games on a platform and will revoke licenses without notifying users. 100
CJ Heckfire @cj-heckfire.bsky.social · 30/08/2026To me this is gaming. I'm an adult now so I buy most of games new. I buy digital add-ons and soundtracks.
