I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart

This #Gundam was so fun to build! I love the look of it and all the solar panels. I think I’m getting a bit better. This is the third #Gunpla I have built now. #RX78F00E #GundamNextUniversalCentury #SolarPunkGundam

I would love if they let us play this on modern consoles! I played it so much on my PC back in the day!

Does it play? @doesitplay.org · 10/09/2026

The explanation why FF VII Revelation is #PhysicalFraud is complete and utter BS. First, people would be ok with slight compromises. Second, we sincerely doubt that it would exceed 200 GB of size, especially given PlayStation's powerful compression. Third, use a third disc, if.

I guess the #Sony strategy for the console market is to just leave it? They desperately need new leadership at this point.

Super scummy #SquareEnix. Using a Game Key-Disc on the last game of the trilogy. Jfc. Why even bother anymore. What a way to kill the hype. Urghhhhhh.

Wait, why are they doing a Lego PlayStation? It seems to be a physical object. That doesn't align with their current approach. Should be digital legos only.

Was so heartening to see the #Sony #StateOfPlay spammed with #NoDiscNoBuy. I know they won’t care, but eff them.

I don’t care if Grand Theft Auto 6 becomes the greatest video game ever since Breath of the Wild. That game shouldn’t be made at the expense of abusing employees, massive layoffs, union busting, predatory monetization practices, and ceasing the end of physical media. It’s just not worth it.

Sony emailing everyone about PlayStation terms of use during a backlash over the end of discs and a lack of digital ownership is certainly a choice

I’m joining #PSBlackout because I’m tired of companies endlessly finding ways to fleece us. Will it make a difference? Maybe not. But enough is enough. And sending that obnoxious wall of T&Cs while people are already furious about physical games? Tone-deaf. Consider this my middle finger.

I am so bitterly disappointed about not being able to get a set of the promo #FFTCG and #Fanfest. People out here trying to sell them for £100-£300 per card. Insane. I have a spare #Alisaie card if anyone wants to trade. #FFXIV #FinalFantasyXIV

This whole end of physical media thing is really affecting me. It’s not just having the disc - it everything around shopping, hunting for things, spending time with buddies. None of it matters to business but it makes me question why I bothered getting into the gaming space at all. Really sad.

Can I have a physical copy of this game? No. So the game will be cheaper because there's no disc to produce? Again, no. I have to store all my games on my console. Memory chips are cheap these days, right? Guess what?

If you're curious what a non-preservationist gaming ecosystem looks like, you can look at the mobile stores, where most of the shit you remember does not exist in any form anymore.

Sony has announced that starting January 2028, PlayStation games will no longer be sold physically and digital will be the only option. Digital games can be removed. Digital games can be altered. Digital games are non-transferable. Physical purchases need to be an option.

The news today just shows us how much digital game preservation really matters These corporations need to do better at ensuring our digital purchases are always going to be accessible I've spoken about it before but this really shows the importance of campaigns like Stop Killing Games

Stop Killing Games — They Kill Games. We Fight Back.

Publishers are permanently destroying the video games you paid for. Join a global coalition of 2M+ supporters demanding legislation to protect consumer rights and preserve games.

Well there it is. Say goodbye to ever really owning your PlayStation games from 2028 onward. Hope you also like high prices too, because they’re going to be milking this for every cent.

Another thought on this - storage space (ie - SSDs) have increased so sharply in price that storing digital games is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive. Discs are DIRT CHEAP to produce - so even if you have to install them, you have a physical, cheap solution right there.

Obviously there's more important shit going on in the world than video games but jesus christ, me and so many of my friends have invested most of our lives into this hobby and this medium, and it's being ripped out of our hands by circumstances we don't have an ounce of control over or say in.

Let’s sum things up recently with PlayStation - Increased PS5 Prices - Removed over 500 movies/TV shows from PS Store - Still wants to Focus on live service games after a whole generation of failure with them - Closed Bluepoint - Stop Disc Production in Jan 2028 What a joke…

No gift options. No ability to buy codes from other retailers. No refunds. No ability to buy stuff second-hand. You will pay whatever price they set or you simply will not play video games on their platform, and you will own nothing. Really appealing business model there, Sony.
