They've always prioritized anti-consumer practices, they just used to have to hide them and hold themselves back because there was a chance we might actually stop buying their products if we got too mad. Now they've pacified us to the point where we'll complain even as we pull out our credit cards to consume more of their wares.

It's literally the same issue we're having in politics; they're not your friends, and they have never been your friends - they only care about improving their own situation. They won't care about someone who doesn't stand up for themselves, and things will only get worse if we don't come together to do something to stop their gravy train.

At least with corporations it's easy - you just have to stop buying their products. Even that's too hard for everyone to coordinate in this apathetic day and age, though, so they keep on profiting.

Maybe...Stop giving them money?!

They couldn't even wait for the next gen; they had to say, "Fuck you," to everyone who paid extra for a disc drive on the PS5.

If buying isn't owning, then pirating isn't theft, is it?

Goodbye, Sony, hello, unaffordable PC gaming. Would everything go back to normal if the AI nazi cunts were luigied?

So don't be their consumer

Big opportunity for Xbox to make their own "here's how you share a game on Playstation" display.

Next they’ll wonder why anti consumer practices don’t give them more consumers

Sony being Sony. Same shit every couple years.

Question to anyone who was buying ps5 discs:

When was the last time you even bought a game on disc that didn't need a download to fix a critical issue right away? Cause it seems like they ruined disc ownership like since PS4 times.

If you're so worried about Sony discontinuing physical media, just move to Steam!

Thats okay. you can be rest assured, theres plenty of people out there that don't care about the harm they cause and will continue buying sony products and digital downloads, sustaining sonys anticonsumer practices for years to come.

Lucky I never got bored with Quake 1, Redneck Rampage and Carmageddon 1. Oh, and the original Lotus game that fits on a floppy.

I hate big corporations as next guy, but 80-90% of video games sales today are digital sales. See sources below. To me it seems like an example of people preaching one thing, that they want physical media, and the vast majority silently doing the opposite, because it's more convenient. Isn't this at least partly our own fault?

At this point all consoles are dead to me. We only but physical carts for the kids switch one and they are offline as much as possible. I only play indie and retro games because i want to give money to people who deserve it and on systems that can never have these issues. There is enough of both to keep me entertained my entire life.
