Then explain to me the capitalistic hellscape that has been contracted for us? Why are C suites making billions? Why is their slave labor? Why are their homeless people? Why is it that we're being nickel and dimed EVERYWHERE even down to the groceries? This is a much larger problem than gaming. I'll be damned if I focus my energy on companies that exist to entertain. That's not nickel and diming, no matter how you spin it because this industry is a luxury. And it doesn't help, that most of the world population is full of uneducated idiots, being swayed by propaganda that polarizes them like sheep.
Look how easy it is for them. Look at the hottest news in even just the gaming landscape and tell me with a straight face that life is about morals.
Because a lot of people lack morals or don't live by the morals they say they believe in. Or because their morals are that it's alright to let people starve and suffer if it means they get to fly around the world on their private jets. A lot of people have "fuck you, I got mine" as their moral compass, especially in the west. Sadly those people are winning and in power, but that just further illustrates how life is about morals.
Also I don't see why you assume that people are only complaining about greed in the video game industry lol. This is a video games forum, naturally the discussion will be focused around that. And you don't need to wait until grocery prices improve before you start complaining about issues in the games industry, you can complain about both at the same time. It's like when those "centrists" (aka right wingers in denial) argue that we shouldn't be talking about transphobia because there are bigger and more pressing issues. Yeah, there are, and we can talk about all of them at the same time.
Not needing to print outdated discs that leak game stories or jailbreak consoles and having higher revenue which supports the ecosystem of games is good for the consumer
But you’re a manchild brokie bitch that cares more about wasting resources to build a plastic worthless disc that is just getting overwritten by an internet connection anyways than he does about the actual practice of gaming
Lmao, imagine saying this retarded shit after we've spent the past months seeing GTA6 get leaked. Literally the first gameplay we ever saw of the game came from leaks. A game that is digital only. When TLOU2 got leaked, it also got leaked through hacks and not physical copies.
The higher revenue thing remains to be seen and hinges entirely on the idea that everyone who's currently buying physical is just going to buy digital at the same price points. Spoiler: many won't, if they did they'd probably have been buying digital all along. And it's also a massive assumption that this increased revenue will somehow fuel content for the consumers and not just increase margins that will benefit shareholders.
Also, I already debunked the brokie shit by showing how much I spent on games this year with receipts. It's funny how you call someone a manchild for expecting better consumer rights when you are a 40-year-old incel who spent weeks crying when Wolverine didn't get the review scores you wanted so you could flaunt them in your internet debates with strangers online.
No I won’t, it’ll be the wrong move.
I won’t pretend to boycott them over it like the brokie physical bitches though
Yeah, I call bullshit. There is no wrong move for Sony in your eyes. Even after this decision you fell back to using used games and GameFly as an argument while debating a PC fanboy. You can't even claim you were against PC ports like most people on this board were, because you defended that shit too (just like I did). And you don't have to tell me you would never boycott Sony, that much is obvious.
Because a static vinyl with no significant size restrictions is the same as a dynamic and changing game in the face of a new generation where hundreds of gigs is the norm.
Sure brokie bitch
If Sony made physical owners pay up like Vinyl you’d fucking cry about that because you’re of course a very brokie bitch
No significant size restrictions on vinyl? Tell me you don't know wtf you're talking about without telling me you don't know wtf you're talking about. Since the late 80s and 90s vinyl albums often have less songs than what was included on the CD version of the same album due to size restrictions. There's only so much you can press onto a record.
And physical owners already paid up for video games, wtf are you talking about man? But they're not gonna pay a $30 premium like your retard ass suggests, when even Nintendo is only charging $10 extra for a cartridge that costs 5x to produce what it costs Sony to produce a BR disc. I pay that $10 premium on all my Nintendo games.
The bulk of the revenue Sony is losing out on from physical sales is from the retailer cut, which will still be there with CIAB games. Now those are actual plastic waste. At least they served a purpose when they were protecting a disc that contains game data that allows you to play games irrespective of the account or your connectivity, but when they're just there to house a scrap of paper that's useless after the code is redeemed I fail to see how it can be anything other than waste. I also pay for vinyl records already and like I said, I showed how I've already spent over $1k on games just this year alone. But sure, keep repeating that I'm a "brokie" because I don't think an inferior digital-only product should cost the same, and often more than what a physical version of the same game costs.
