Polygon: It's Official: The PlayStation Blackout Protest Did Nothing
- Thread starter R4tion4l Sk3pt1c
- Start date
Playstation
Delusions of grandeur manifested.
Won't matter by 2028 disc drives probably won't even be manufactured by then.
I will miss discs.
The only thing I'd celebrate is delusional terminally online trolls finally getting the reality check that they have way less power than they think they do, and should STFU with the incessant complaining.
People have already voted with their wallets on this issue. In the grand scheme of things the blackout meant nothing, hence the rowboat analogy. A few of us suspected this.
Well the tech giants are already one foot out the door manufacturing on optic drives is down 35% so the writing is already on the wall. These big corporations regularly have meeting's about future tech trends Sony didn't pull discs itself the manufacturing companies also decided it wasn't viable for manufacturing contracts going forward.
The company that makes the chips for Nintendo switch 2 cartridges has said today they are quitting from next month. Likely switch 2 games will be digital only from next year.
But seriously they will kill physical also. Considering the new Zelda was ported using the physical cartridge. Its just matter of time. If Nintendo is super serious about piracy their iteration of switch 2 or next Switch will be coded in rust to make it very hard to jailbreak.
Normal people are already mostly digital.
99% of playstation owners didn't even know it was a thing.
The people who participated were like people on a handful of rowboats trying to influence the direction of a Norweigan Cruise Liner in the middle of the ocean by splashing some water with their oars.

Celebrating way too early. Sony's killing physical in 2028. Let's see how normal people react once they find out that PS6 won't support discs because they're not terminally online.

We pretending Sony can't make disc drives now? Really?
Who's celebrating?

We'll only really find out in 2028. Normal people are always slow with these things and Playstation always supported discs so I'm not sure how the PS6 marketing will go.

I love how PC people are so mad about PS5 doing better than ever.
I keep desiring the absolute worst to everyone who plays on PC.
I use to not care about what platform people play, but due to the arrogance of the pc gaming and their public, I hope they burn in hell.

Brother, I'm already here.
Not that I think the blackout will do anything, but there's a tail on these things.
If you stop buying today, a company doesn't announce their figures until three months, or more, down the line.
OTOH I've seen a few articles saying the blackout did nothing, which sounds like damage control.
