Been on a revisit to all of the excellent Resident Evil books written by S.D. Perry. They’re genuinely such brisk and entertaining reads. And the fact that they’re still in print makes me so happy. I can’t recommend them enough to RE fans. Hope she writes more of them someday.

The games that made me. Each one has a special place during a certain part of my childhood and were ones I would always go back to as I went into high school. And I still to this day replay them. The original SH2 I play almost yearly to remind myself how good games and storytelling can be.

So cool getting modern ports/remasters of the original games in the series. Can’t wait to check these out next year.

This will be such incredible news if it’s true. The possibility of this game becoming easily accessible to people, in the same way as The Thing, is so exciting. Love this game. Nightdive Studios continues to be one of my favorite game dev studios. So hyped!

#PSBlackout Stage 1 completed! Here is what's important moving forward.

We would like to thank everyone who helped spread the idea and took part.

Now the fight for a better gaming world continues. And we need to stand united!

PlayStation's plans set a dangerous precedent. If they go all-digital, others will follow. This will affect us all, regardless of whether you earn a living with games or just play them. Regardless of where you play or how you purchase your games.

You will lose the only form of ownership on console. The only legal form of preservation. Trade conventions/fairs will eventually die. Retailers will lose sales and close. Developers lose additional revenue and discoverability. Without physical and second hand price competition dwindles. Price hikes and fewer sales will be the new norm, pricing some people out of the hobby entirely.

And what you will pay exorbitant sums for, is not even yours to keep. Without customer protection laws everything you buy can be stripped from you at a whim. As you can witness today when over 500 Studio Canal movies get erased from people's libraries without any repercussions. What do you think happens to Wolverine when Sony and Marvel eventually part ways?

That is why we need to fight two battles at once!

We need to protect physical games as an option. For preservation, for the experience, for a healthy market, and to keep our hands on what we bought.

We need to push for better customer rights in the digital space. Actual ownership & end-of-life plans, so games don't just disappear, when a publisher ends support.

Support us! Support initiatives like Stop Killing Games! Speak to your local customer protection agencies and local politicians tasked with taking care of these topics!

Continue to make your voices heard online. There will be more chances in the future to take action again. Thank you all once more for standing up together. Let's continue to raise awareness and get more people on board!

As PlayStation goes digital, some gamers are logging off

DoesItPlay?, an online game-preservation community, launched a global boycott of the brand to protest Sony’s move away from physical games.

Another aspect we rarely see discussed: For there to be a 2nd hand market, somebody has to buy the game in the first place. What if those who do it BECAUSE they can resell buy fewer games? Fewer games are sold overall/people wait for sales = less revenue for everyone.

Rob Benoit @therealrobpg.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Pay a subscription to watch a long ad for a game that costs $80 minimum for a code in a box with no ownership path. We really are expected to pay a subscription for everything, own nothing, and be happy. What a joke.

Everybody losing their mind over Sony putting their tweet on consoles as a sticker? Nothing has changed for us! This notice is likely just to cover their behinds from a legal perspective and/or as assurance for shareholders. The backlash needs to continue. Stronger than ever!

People still wondering about the date of the #PSBlackout: Again, it is announced this way to be approachable for as many people as possible. If it's your first day in boy scout camp and they say, "Go, climb Mount Everest!", you probably wouldn't go at all. Feel free to do more!

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.

Persistence. Disruption. For as long as possible. If you choose not to participate, that's fine. Your time is your own. But do not for a moment degrade those who choose to do something, anything, to further the cause of keeping consumer choice alive. If we turn on each other - THEY win.
