I do feel bad for the social media teams for having to deal with the wrath of their boss’s decisions. I don’t expect Sony to directly address it for some time though.
Not to be devil’s advocate, but what could they say that would help the situation? They’ll get bombarded with rage no matter what. I wouldn’t engage with the angry online mob either.
@8th_Observer It’s like those people who are spamming about Destiny 3 everywhere before this. They think that spamming PlayStation will make them get their way and it does come off as somewhat childish. Still, social media is so radioactive you could set Fallout 5 there.
@somnambulance If it weren’t for the fact it would lead to a lot of jobs being lost, I would say that the industry needs a reset… but the jobs being lost are gonna happen anyway
@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.

Re: PS Plus Discounts Being Offered to Fans Cancelling in Protest
@helloim_anthony That’s what I was trying to say. Also feels like if you don’t fully agree with the narrative, you get attacked.
Re: Control Resonant's Fancy PS5 Steelbook Edition Flaunted in the Wake of Sony Ditching Discs
Not really my thing, but looks cool
Re: PS Plus Discounts Being Offered to Fans Cancelling in Protest
@Leinad7 This is pretty typical when you cancel a service so they hope to keep you around.
Re: PS Plus Discounts Being Offered to Fans Cancelling in Protest
@get2sammyb Fair point, but feels like this site has been chasing clicks more than anything recently. And not just talking about this either.
Re: Reaction: Sony Needs to Start Speaking to Us Again
@tangyzesty I am by buying physical games as much as possible.
Re: PS Plus Discounts Being Offered to Fans Cancelling in Protest
Must be a slow news day. Also, the obsession over Sony’s every move is becoming a bit much.
Re: Originally Free, You Can Now Pay $70 to Own the Worst Silent Hill Game
That’s an interesting choice
Re: The Elder Scrolls Online's Future Looks Bleak as Dev 'Decimated' by Xbox Layoffs
Serious question…is anything not looking bleak that’s under the XBox banner besides the shareholders and executives’ pocketbooks?
Re: Legendary Dev id Software Allegedly Hit Extremely Hard by Xbox Layoffs
Good going, XBox. Your desire to be the only player on the market has led to massive collateral damage.
Re: Sony Ignores the Backlash and Returns to Social Media Almost a Week After Killing Physical Games
I do feel bad for the social media teams for having to deal with the wrath of their boss’s decisions. I don’t expect Sony to directly address it for some time though.
Re: Sony Quits Social Media for 5 Days After Killing Physical Games, Earns Multiple Community Notes
Not to be devil’s advocate, but what could they say that would help the situation? They’ll get bombarded with rage no matter what. I wouldn’t engage with the angry online mob either.
Re: Practically Every Comment on PlayStation's YouTube Is Now About Physical Discs
@Rich33 Most likely not.
Re: Gigantic Xbox Layoffs See The Outer Worlds Dev Obsidian Lose 25% of Workforce
Hopefully everyone impacted finds work again soon

Re: Practically Every Comment on PlayStation's YouTube Is Now About Physical Discs
@PercyChuggs I have been for years, so already done.
Re: Practically Every Comment on PlayStation's YouTube Is Now About Physical Discs
@CheesyOatcake I’m not letting this ruin gaming for me. If others want to, that’s on them.
@Deadp001 This isn’t helped because this site and others keeps fanning the flames for clicks and views.
Re: Newly Independent Devs Thank Xbox and Keep IP Rights to Their Games
I hope everything works out for them
Re: Game of the Month: The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (June 2026)
I didn’t play any of those beyond the Elliot demo, but I really enjoyed it. I’ll get it at some point soon. Maybe after I finish Black Flag Resynced
Re: Reaction: Sony Needs to Start Speaking to Us Again
@Sanrio_Man Seems like nothing they can say will make things better except fully reversing course, but we know how likely that is to happen.
Re: 'I Know This Is Painful': Xbox Confirms 3,200 Job Losses in Industry Bloodbath
@pyrrhic_victory Oh, you know it. And they’ll probably get their bonuses still, too.
Re: Bethesda Reducing Workforce, Refocusing on Its Biggest Franchises Amid Xbox Layoffs
@somnambulance If it weren’t for the fact it would lead to a lot of jobs being lost, I would say that the industry needs a reset… but the jobs being lost are gonna happen anyway
Re: Video: Assassin's Creed: Black Flag PS5 vs PS4 Comparison - How Does Resynced Compare?
Just waiting for my collector's edition to come. Time to raise the black flag again, lads and lasses!
Re: Despite Eliminating 15% of Its Workforce, Xbox Wants a Billion Players Per Day
Well that’s a little tone deaf considering the news today.
Re: 5 Xbox Studios Impacted in Microsoft Layoffs, But No Games Cancelled
Could’ve been way worse, but still sucks for everyone impacted.
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: PS5 Bug Removes Playtime Tracker from Physical Games Only
@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.
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: PS5 Bug Removes Playtime Tracker from Physical Games Only

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

Re: Sony Earns Community Note as It Quits Social Media for Days After Killing Physical Games
@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
