Two different divisions. I’m sorry, but some of this rage is pathetic. First attacking third party and indies and now something totally unrelated? They are just looking for a reason to stay angry and produce more ragebait.
This is what happens when only a handful of companies, keep the Internet up and running. I say every time they should fix it, but I know that won’t happen.
@Ken_Kaniff Well, even with the price and digital considerations aside, I wasn’t planning on getting one anyways, not for a long time at least. I have so many other things to play.
Wow, you people joking about them messing with the disc drive are hilarious. Almost as much as the people who are flooding any third party that has anything remotely to do with Sony. Seriously, grow up.
On topic, going to wait to install this since some had issues with the update last time.
@Ken_Kaniff The price may be a bigger turn off than that.
@Oram77 Well, the digital deluxe is fourth best selling preorder in the US after GTA VI, Halo, and the next Call of Duty, so you might be disappointed there
@Rich33 Fair point. And as I’ve said before, easier to scream about something on social media than actually do it. I’d love to see how many preordered GTA VI for example.
@ShadowRJ I figure other companies do something similar in other circumstances, but since Sony’s under lots of scrutiny now, likely will just increase it.
Double edged sword it seems. Still, hate to sound like a broken record, but voting with your wallet is the most effective way to go about it, even though I feel it’s not going to change the situation.
@Swandivetotheasphalt Probably more than you think.
The reality is all corporations only care about the profits and unless people seriously move the needle, nothing will change. And not likely this will. It’s a lot easier to throw a fit on social media than to actually do something.
Stop taking advice from people on X, FFS! Makes them look like weak bootlickers! And they’re just making their fall near inevitable.Say what you will about Sony, but at least they aren’t changing their minds every other second.
Shows you how scum some of these people are-attacking small developers that had zero to do with Sony’s decision making. Though I’m sure a lot of it is trolling. They’re going to lose sympathy real fast if they keep it up.
Stuff for kids always disables comments. And treating Kotaku like it’s a reliable new source… People are really scraping the bottom of the barrel for this one
Since it isn’t changing for now, not going to change anything for now. Also, it’s just a loud and vocal minority.Sony doesn’t care about that. The only chance of anything changing is a large financial hit, but still don’t see it happening. Still feel bad for people caught in the crosshairs. However, some of these people need to get a life.
@TheSingularity It’s mostly terminally online people who have nothing better to do. Touching grass would be beneficial, but that would require them thinking for themselves.
I don’t read comment sections anyway because it’s often toxic even when nothing’s wrong. While we had an outcry when music and movies went digital and people adapted, I don’t think most complaining now are old enough to remember. As for me, discs are going away in 2028. Not going to change my buying habits for now.
Also, posting on third party accounts like they have any part of Sony’s decision making…SMH

Re: EA's Controversial $55 Billion Buyout to Close Next Week
So looking like Plants vs. Zombies Replanted will be my last EA game...and we'll get to see how much worse EA can really get.
Re: Will Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Get a Physical PS5 Edition? Director Can't Confirm Anything Yet
That doesn't make much sense since it'll be pre-2028, but whatever helps them sleep at night, I guess.
Re: This New PS5 Daughter Raising Sim Has 235+ Trophies at Launch
One of the trophies is "Prostitute"...I wish I was joking
Re: This Revelation Should Terrify All Console Fans, Particularly Those Looking Forward to PS6
Not going next gen for a long time, if at all, so not worried about it.
Re: This New PS5 Daughter Raising Sim Has 235+ Trophies at Launch
That’s a lot of bronze
Re: Dragon Age Can't Get the Mass Effect Remaster Treatment Because of Dev Difficulties
I would love a remaster of the first three. Maybe one day. I can dream.
Re: Final Fantasy 6 Remake Would Have to Be '4 or 5' Games, Suggests Series Producer
Just give it the HD-2D treatment. Doesn’t have to be a drastic remake.
Re: Fable PS5 Has Run 'Uncomfortably Beyond Budget', Sources Claim
Well, that doesn’t sound promising…the over budget part isn’t a shock, but I mean going up against Laufey.

Re: Sorry, Dragon Age Fans, Don't Expect Another One Anytime Soon
Hardly matters. When Mass Effect fails, EA will shut it down
Re: Angry PlayStation Fans Propose PS5 Blackout in Protest of Sony's Disc Decision
Boycotts rarely work, but to each their own. I won’t be participating.
Re: 'We Sincerely Apologise': Marvel Tokon the Latest Sony Game to Be Busted on PC
No issues on the PS5 beta...except I keep getting slaughtered because I suck. XD

Re: 'See You in the Sequel': Halo 2 Remake All But Confirmed
All well and good, but will PlayStation get it?
Re: PSN Down for 4+ Hours, Sony 'Working to Resolve Issues'
Everything seems fine on my end. Hopefully the case for everyone soon!
Re: 'It Will Not Disturb the Industry Much': Major Publisher Doesn't Believe PS5's Disc Debacle Will Change Anything
Ubi’s physical games require downloads, so not surprised he’s unfazed.
Re: PSN Down and Sputtering After Amazon Web Services Outage
This is what happens when only a handful of companies, keep the Internet up and running. I say every time they should fix it, but I know that won’t happen.
Re: Physical Game Fans Won't Like This New Data About US PS5 Sales
Nothing will satisfy the social media mob. Even if Sony did a full 180, they’ll still find something to gripe about.
Re: There's No Doubt About It, Wolverine PS5 Looks Awesome
Looks so badass
Re: Sony Imposes 'Strictest Ever Social Media Guidelines' on Staff Due to PS5 Disc Debacle
@Ken_Kaniff Well, even with the price and digital considerations aside, I wasn’t planning on getting one anyways, not for a long time at least. I have so many other things to play.
Re: New PS5 Firmware Update Is Available to Download Now, Here's What It Does
Wow, you people joking about them messing with the disc drive are hilarious. Almost as much as the people who are flooding any third party that has anything remotely to do with Sony. Seriously, grow up.

Re: 'It Isn't Something Carved in Stone': Xbox Still Unclear on Future PS5 Ports
@Boxmonkey True. I mean, I left MS in 2013. If they’re trying to convince me to come back or, at least, get one on top of PS5, they’re not succeeding.

@nyr2k2 Exactly, and now they're trying to play innocent. What did they think was going to happen?

Re: 'It's Totally, Totally Irrelevant': GameStop Boss Unfazed by Sony's Physical Discs Decision
GameStop really does need to change their name. Most of their stuff is merchandise.
Re: Big Shake-Up on Sony's Struggling Live Service as Marathon's Game Director Departs
How long until they shut this down and likely Bungie as well?
Re: Fallout 3, New Vegas PS5 Remasters Confirmed by Bethesda
@Questionable_Duck Didn’t think so. If the New Vegas remaster skips PS5, I’ll be very disappointed.
@zskillz6891 Even if they do, it’ll require an install.
Re: Fallout 3, New Vegas PS5 Remasters Confirmed by Bethesda
Awesome, but was it actually confirmed for PS5?
Re: Claims Sony Has Disabled YouTube Comments Over Physical Disc Backlash Are Not True
