This will only hurt them more in markets where the brand is barely viable. W

"Wow holy shit not only the original quoted posted was banned for saying truths here, but a fellow gamedev that shared their perspective on the acquisition wasn't great for them and worried for their other gamedev friends also got banned.

At this point, fuck it. Fuck you Era staff. You ain't on our side, never been. Ever since the NFT bullshit. Fuck you all. We from the gaming industry are all seeing our fellow colleagues getting their lives RUINED thanks to the immediate aftermath of this fucking acquisition that even I was victim of believing it to be a good thing and then ate crow.

Now that we're facing the results of mergers and how the fucking top earners have no respect for all the workers that makes the incredible games happen, and seeing fellow gamedev colleagues here getting banned for the fucking audacity to say, in the most respectful meanor possible, how it was dangerous to champion such a merger.

Fuck you ResetEra Staff. You never were allied of gamedevs in the first place.
We only have eachother to look out for. Gamedevs reading this you can all reach me on twitter.

I'm done with this shithole of a forum. Fuck you once again."

GODDAMN HE WENT DOWN LIKE A BOSS 🙏
Hilarious that it took this long for some people to realize how shit MS and their shills are.

The path to all digital is approaching fast. Next gen consoles will end the disc drives.

Glad to see people finally calling era out on its shilling for Xbox these past 4 years. It's literally the whole reason i made an account over here. I've never been one for console wars but these days I cannot fuck w the bots (despite also being an xbox owner) because they completely ruined gaming discourse with all this acquisition bullshit.

Despite this site being ps-centric I'd wager that the vast majority of posters here currently own or have owned xboxes in the past and have been burned by Microsoft's utter ineptitude.

Here's hoping that PlayStation continues to have disc drives for at least one more generation after this one.
Not sure if it will be the case.

The percentage of digital vs phisical sales keeps increasing. In this chart they keep the same for CY25 and 26, but makes more sense that in CY25-28 will continue decreasing to become almost zero or just a couple billions, mostly from Nintendo where the % of digital sales way bigger.

Physical game sales are being replaced by digital sales. And game sales are being replaced by addon (GaaS/F2P) sales.
