Considering their dumbf.... tomfoolery with the physical version I can only congratulate id Software for being tone deaf towards the consumers. Reap what you sow.
@PCPS4XB (#21) also true, but the predecessor consoles had banger exclusives to sell the systems. Where is the indefinite killer app for the PS5? Say it without mentioning Astro Bot. That's the issue.
@Northern_munkey (#76) sounds like a potato potato situation to me, the key word here being "indefinetly". When I own the console and a game disc I can indefinetly do whatever I want with that properly. No one on the web talks about the intellectual property that is the code on the disc when saying "owning" a game.
@AhmadSumadi this definetly isn't the "way of the world", but the way a capitalist economy functions. Mainly inflation, which exists despite consumption being a main column of an economic model based on profit & gains and infinite growth with finite resources.
@Balaam_ (#14) I only comment in full support of your statement. F everyone who dogpiles on someone, especially when it comes to preference of video game medium. My case: As with Indiana Jones, I won't ever buy Doom TDA because of the disc situation as well! ✊

@Shepherd_Tallon (#32) the reigns clipped through the mane of Kelpie nonetheless!
Re: Don't Expect The Witcher 4 to Look Like That Unreal Tech Demo When It Launches on PS5
Remember, remember the 10th of December (2020)! The dude holding a controller was simply deceitful marketing.
Re: MindsEye Really Does Look Like a Long-Lost PS3 Game
This looks right up my alley 😍
I hope they pull a Clair Obscur and the game is well received!
Re: Clair Obscur Director Has Exquisite Taste, Says Nothing Tops Persona 5's Visual Design
@gollumb82 (#7) That's a valid point, but it's astonishing that CO:E33 was developed by around 30 people!
Re: Mini Review: Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny (PS4) - Basic Remaster Keeps That PS2 Charm
Brilliant news tbh!!!
Re: Finally, a Line of Physical PS5 Games Where the Packaging Is Beautiful and the Full Experience Is Actually on the Disc
@Czar_Khastik my man! 😂
The issue with LRG is artificial scarcity, plus shipping to Europe is a real pain in the Arsenal.
Re: Finally, a Line of Physical PS5 Games Where the Packaging Is Beautiful and the Full Experience Is Actually on the Disc
@Slayer25c (#10) scummy preservation efforts tbh
Re: Finally, a Line of Physical PS5 Games Where the Packaging Is Beautiful and the Full Experience Is Actually on the Disc
@Czar_Khastik (#2) Damn, you're a connoisseur of physical games AND dropped a comment out of character! I have to admit: I am a fan of yours ♥️
Re: Build Life on the Back of a Giant Creature in The Wandering Village, Confirmed for PS5, PS4
Looks beautiful
Re: Arcade Archives 2 Receives a Big Price Hike with Ridge Racer on PS5
As if Namco avoids getting money. Truly the japanese EA.
Re: Hellblade 2 Finally Getting Physical Edition on PS5, Courtesy of Limited Run Games
LRG is the final nail for me, too bad.
Re: Atomfall Sequel in Talks After 'Immediately Profitable' Launch, Says Rebellion
@nessisonett (#1) Merseyside, please! As a LFC supporter I'd love a game where Scouse is spoken 😍
Re: Atomfall Sequel in Talks After 'Immediately Profitable' Launch, Says Rebellion
Congratulations, Rebellion!
Re: Hellblade 2 Announced for PS5, Out This Summer
@Cry_Zero same after reading what the general sentiment is
Re: Hellblade 2 Announced for PS5, Out This Summer
Physical version or bust.
Re: Analytics Firm Predicts Paltry Full-Price Sales for DOOM: The Dark Ages on PS5
@illegalmonkey (#25) agreed, 1000000000%. Same with Indiana Jones.
Re: Analytics Firm Predicts Paltry Full-Price Sales for DOOM: The Dark Ages on PS5
@AdamNovice that's excuses towards the shhareholders, they hope they're fooled by the different metric lol
Re: Analytics Firm Predicts Paltry Full-Price Sales for DOOM: The Dark Ages on PS5
@Traman500 (#2) and that's completely on them. Stupid decision to even go that route

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel Stays in Night City, But You'll Also Visit 'Chicago Gone Wrong'
What I still wonder about until today:
Where is Mike Pondsmith and what were his thoughts on the whole debacle?
Re: 25+ PS5, PS4 Games You Must Buy Cheap in PS Store's Indie Sale (North America/Europe)
Just bought Lonely Mountains: Downhill for 4,99€, plus 4 free levels! Thanks, @pushsquare!
Re: Blades of Fire (PS5) - Steely Action with Blunt Art and Storytelling
@MFTWrecks (#7) I completely agree.
Re: Intergalactic Recruits New The Last of Us Season 2 Actor for PS5 Game
@TheKurgan agreed, I'm a fan of @playstation1995 as well!
Re: Intergalactic Recruits New The Last of Us Season 2 Actor for PS5 Game
@PCPS4XB (#21) also true, but the predecessor consoles had banger exclusives to sell the systems. Where is the indefinite killer app for the PS5? Say it without mentioning Astro Bot.
That's the issue.
Re: Final Fantasy 9 Remake Talk Returns as Website Updates with New Character Profiles
Yes, please! I would revisit right away, what a beauty!
Re: PlayStation, Hideo Kojima's Next-Gen Physint Game 'Five or Six' Years Away
@Troubbble (#6) A man after my own heart!
Re: PlayStation, Hideo Kojima's Next-Gen Physint Game 'Five or Six' Years Away
That's absolutely okay, I'll bide the time, Kojima-san. Yotei will be out in autumn and the backlog waits!
Re: Poll: 10 Years Later, What Are Your Thoughts on The Witcher 3?
The polls are correct haha
Re: Point-and-Click Classic Syberia Gets a PS5 Remaster, Out This Year
That's unexpected. Just kidding, it's the MO for Sony with the PS5.
Re: Fans Discuss the Reason Behind DOOM: The Dark Ages' Lukewarm Opening
Maybe, just maybe, it's the fact that they sell a download cue as a physical version. Look at Clair Obscur for reference.
Re: Intergalactic Recruits New The Last of Us Season 2 Actor for PS5 Game
@PCPS4XB (#16) right, hate is a strong emotion. It's more like indifference.
Re: Intergalactic Recruits New The Last of Us Season 2 Actor for PS5 Game
@playstation1995 1(#7) Facts. The remaster generation.

Re: Beloved Ex-PlayStation Boss Believes $70, $80 Games Are a Steal
@Zazu (#24) we should "steal" games, I think!

Re: Beloved Ex-PlayStation Boss Believes $70, $80 Games Are a Steal
Finally, the statistically necessary bad take from him. Seldom enough.
Re: Despite Unfathomable Marketing Spend, Fatal Fury Appears to Have Flopped
Who could have foreseen?!
Re: Poll: Are You Playing DOOM: The Dark Ages?
@Northern_munkey (#28) that's utter nonsense and you know it.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing DOOM: The Dark Ages?
@matekomlosi (#25) whatever floats your boat. Throw money down any publishers throat for whatever reason to make you feel better about yourself.

Gosh darn, who could have foretold!!!!!
Re: PS5 Upgrades STALKER Trilogy with a Native Version, Out 20th May

Re: Reaction: Game Key PS5 Discs Are a Disgrace, and Sony Should Put a Stop to Them

Re: Oblivion Remastered Runs Worse the Longer You Play on PS5
Since there isn't a physical version I don't care about the game. Maybe 5€ bargain some day
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think of the PS5 Pro, Six Months Later?
No internal disc drive? Check.
Can't stand on it's own? Check.
Won't buy it? Also check.
Re: Stellar Blade Adds New Boss Fight, 25 Outfits in Complete Edition on PS5, PC
