@yazzika Were they bought on other accounts perhaps? A few of my early games were like that and they're not there anymore, though the trophies remain. Also, some physicals still show. Seems like it's a mixed bag on what shows and what doesn't.
@anoyonmus My guess is a significant amount were actually not fans and people just bombarding Sony just for the hell of it. That's nothing new. The anti-Sony crowd on X has always been rabid and this has made things worse. But again, I don't think that any of this will make them reverse course on the discs.
@CheesyOatcake People are trying to claim it’s everywhere when it isn’t. Just seems like social media is just grasping at every little straw to attack Sony, even if it’s totally irrelevant to the matter at hand. Since social media is a wasteland, take it all with huge grains of salt.
This has been going on since the whole thing with the smutty games randomly appearing on people's profiles. Some of my physical games were impacted, but others are fine. It's very weird.
@Swirly Not likely because R* obviously have no qualms about releasing GTA 6 all digital. All corpos care about is their profits and making shareholders happy. Probably just a coincidence.
@EYEBALL Well, it is true it’s a holiday weekend in the US, so doubt the social media team is active. Seems like PushSquare making a big deal over nothing. Been doing that a lot lately even before this.
@GamingGod then do it somewhere where it matters, like on their social media or on one of the petitions floating around. It’s not going to help complaining on a game news site.
@Titntin As much uproar that's online, they're in the minority. Most gamers are already fully digital. I knew was inevitable, even if I'm not thrilled about it. Still, going to enjoy gaming. This isn't enough to make me quit.
@AdamNovice I think some of the reactions are a little knee jerk. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve seen people threatened to change consoles or get a PC and then they end up not doing so.
I wasn’t really looking to get this, but I guess they were a little concerned at how busy the month was looking.
This is disappointing, but not altogether unexpected. I’ll be getting every game I want physical until then. I hope they change course with backlash, but not thinking so
As long as they aren't replacing humans and speeding things up, I guess I can live with that. Sounds like they aren't trying to use it in creativity stuff.
Yes, things suck. Yes, it’ll get better before it gets worse, but seriously, these doom and gloom speculation stories need to stop. Nobody knows what’s going to happen tomorrow, much less a year from now.
Also, hardly anyone is clamoring for next gen, so it would make more sense to delay it, but we’ll see.

Re: Rumour: Xbox Still Weighing Up Physical Disc Support for Project Helix After Sony Bombshell
I’ll be real surprised if they do. Still, even if they do, is it too late to save XBox?
Re: PS5 Bug Removes Playtime Tracker from Physical Games Only
@TheDarts Fair point. Real journalism died many years ago.
Re: PS5 Fans Panic Over 'Lost Games' Clause, But There's More to the Story
Seems like a lot of people are just looking for any straw to grasp to attack Sony no matter what.
Re: PS5 Bug Removes Playtime Tracker from Physical Games Only
@yazzika That's part of the glitch. Games you played that were bought on another account don't show on the list. It's all confusing.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 640
Finished Dragon Quest VII Reimagined. May do something quick or might just wait until Black Flag Resynced

Re: PS5 Bug Removes Playtime Tracker from Physical Games Only
@anoyonmus Yeah, my guess is some EU regulation or something since not in the US TOS. Logged onto an old account I haven’t in ages and it was fine.
Re: PS5 Bug Removes Playtime Tracker from Physical Games Only
@CheesyOatcake The fact PushSquare has been pushing yellow journalism and using social media as sources definitely isn’t helping the situation.

Re: PS5 Bug Removes Playtime Tracker from Physical Games Only
@anoyonmus It’s only in certain countries. Dont believe everything you read on social media. I checked the US TOS and it only goes to section 18
Re: PS5 Bug Removes Playtime Tracker from Physical Games Only
@ThePlaystationStan Yeah, seems like every story lately is how much Sony sucks and it’s getting kind of old.
Re: PS5 Bug Removes Playtime Tracker from Physical Games Only
@Northern_munkey You're probably going to be waiting a very long time. Chances of them backtracking are near zero.
Re: Sony Underfire Yet Again for Blocking Marvel Tokon in 132 Countries on PC
@Oram77 They did reverse course on that.

Re: These 15+ PS5 and PS Plus Games Are Coming Out Next Week (6th-12th July)
Black Flag Resynced

@EYEBALL Well, it is true it’s a holiday weekend in the US, so doubt the social media team is active. Seems like PushSquare making a big deal over nothing. Been doing that a lot lately even before this.
Re: PS5 Disc Drives Limited to One Per Order, Sony Acknowledges High Demand
If a scalper sees opportunity, they’ll take it
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops PS5 Ports Updated as Fans Await July Releases
They should drop it tomorrow for 'Murica Day
Re: 'I'd Be On Board with Anything': Troy Baker Says He's There 'Day One' for More The Last of Us
Would have to be a flashback or a ghost. That or a prequel
Re: This Backrooms Game Outsold Every PS5 Title on PS Store Last Month
@Shrek_Realista I seriously doubt it. People who buy digital or are all digital already still will anyway.
Re: Even Politicians Are Commenting on Sony's Decision to Stop Making Physical Games
@jackst eBay and Amazon sell WAY more than video games, so doubt it’ll matter much to them. They’ll make up for it elsewhere.
Also, this weekend is a holiday weekend in the US, so wouldn’t expect anything from them before Monday.
Re: Poll: $1,000 and No Disc Drive - Is PS6 Dead on Arrival?
I don’t think the no disc is going to be as big of a deal as you think. The price, on the other hand…
Re: Rumour: Xbox Is 'Heavily Evaluating' Halo's Future Just Weeks Before Its PS5 Debut
@GamingGod then do it somewhere where it matters, like on their social media or on one of the petitions floating around. It’s not going to help complaining on a game news site.
Re: 40+ PS5, PS4 Games to Buy in PS Store's July Savings Sale
Dragon Quest Builders 2 is a fun game and not just a Minecraft clone. Check it out if you like Dragon Quest
Re: Reaction: PlayStation's Reputation Is at Rock Bottom - Where Do We Go from Here?
@Titntin As much uproar that's online, they're in the minority. Most gamers are already fully digital. I knew was inevitable, even if I'm not thrilled about it. Still, going to enjoy gaming. This isn't enough to make me quit.
Re: Sony Abandons Social Media for 24 Hours+ After Controversially Killing Physical Games
My guess is they're taking a long weekend and won't say anything before Monday at the earliest.
Re: Sony's Been Planning All-Digital Future for 'Some Time', Unlikely to Reverse Decision on Game Discs
Didn’t expect it to change anyway. I did sign a petition, but doubt it’ll do any good.
Re: The Outer Worlds Dev Obsidian Is Yet Another Xbox Team at Risk of Closure
So they spent all that money for absolutely nothing. Only ABK and Bethesda will likely be the last ones standing. Good going, MS
Re: PlayStation's Plan to Kill Physical Games Has Spawned Not One But Many Online Petitions
Don’t think it’ll do any good
Re: PS6 May Not Be the Only Fully Digital Console Next-Gen
This isnt surpassing with the Game Pass push and all discs requiring a download
Re: Onimusha PS5 Has Actually Brought Its Launch Forward to 4th September
@AdamNovice I think some of the reactions are a little knee jerk. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve seen people threatened to change consoles or get a PC and then they end up not doing so.

Re: PS6 Release Now Expected End of 2028, According to Analyst
I didn’t care about next gen before and today’s news didn’t change that.
Re: Just 15% of All PS5 Software Was Purchased Physically Last Quarter
This is why I'm not surprised by the news. Disappointed? Definitely, but not surprised.
Re: PlayStation Consoles to Stop Getting Disc-Based Physical Releases in 2028
This is disappointing, but not altogether unexpected. I’ll be getting every game I want physical until then. I hope they change course with backlash, but not thinking so
Re: Rumour: State of Decay 3 Dev Also Facing Xbox Axe, Weeks After Game Was Revealed for PS5
Does Microsoft have a death wish for XBox or something?
Re: Sony Says AI Is a 'Foundational Technology' and 'Exciting Long-Term Opportunity' for Its PS6 Strategy
As long as they aren't replacing humans and speeding things up, I guess I can live with that. Sounds like they aren't trying to use it in creativity stuff.
Re: PS5 Dominates Xbox for Single Player Games, New Data Suggests
No shock. Xbox is sinking
Re: Rumour: PS6 Costs Sony Almost $1,000 to Make Right Now
Yes, things suck. Yes, it’ll get better before it gets worse, but seriously, these doom and gloom speculation stories need to stop. Nobody knows what’s going to happen tomorrow, much less a year from now.
Also, hardly anyone is clamoring for next gen, so it would make more sense to delay it, but we’ll see.
Re: GTA 6 PS5 Disc Hopes Seemingly Dashed by Rockstar Source
I believe nothing without official confirmation, so time will tell. Even if it comes, still expecting it to require a download.
Re: Microsoft Responds to Reports of GTA 6 PS5 Pre-Orders Trouncing Xbox
Well, someone's jealous.
Re: PlayStation Boss Drops Biggest Hint Yet That PS6 Will Have a Portable Console
This might be good if done right.
Re: Major Retailer Warns of PS5 Console Shortages in Light of GTA 6
Wouldn’t be surprised at all that GTA VI is moving consoles.
Re: Sony Will Continue to Chase Live Service Dream, Despite Mostly Disastrous Execution to Date
Maybe try something different than an Overwatch or Fortnite clone and they’d have better luck, but still suxks
Re: PS5 Pre-Orders of GTA 6 Apparently Outpacing Xbox by 6:1
In other news, summer is hot and winter is cold. I don't think there was any doubt honestly.
Re: The Physical PS5 Release of This Ghibli-Esque Cosy Game Will Come with a Cookbook
If it had been a physical cookbook, that would've been even cooler.
Re: Price Hiked PS5 Endures Sony's Worst May in Over 25 Years
Not sure why this is news. You raise the prices, you won't sell as many. Not rocket science.
Re: Bungie Loses 292 Full-Time Staff in Heavy Round of Layoffs
@Oram77 Fair point, but if things don’t turn around for Marathon, I am sure it’ll probably be the end
Re: Bungie Loses 292 Full-Time Staff in Heavy Round of Layoffs
I’m surprised they didn’t shut it down, but it’s probably only a matter of time
Re: Worrying News for PS6, as Memory Prices Tipped to Double by End of 2027
@LogicStrikesAgain Agreed, but it’s sort of the old “if it bleeds, it leads”. They get way more views for negative news than positive.
