I think I wrote this in a few hundred comments already. It's a little weird people make it about physical games, it's not really about that, physical games are dead on PC, barely anyone cares. It's about Sony locking people into the Playstation Store and having full control over prices. With physical copies you can buy them wherever you want and they usually go down in price relatively quickly after release. Digital store prices remain high for years after release and only drop sometimes during sales, but even then they drop to the level of physical copies. The other issue are used games, at the moment that only works with physical copies.

Same here. In fact I own almost no physical media anymore except for a few rare CD’s and vinyl. All my games are digital.

The argument that this damages the preowned game market is valid to a point. Though anymore any time I shop for preowned games they’re close enough in price to new games that I don’t see the point. And if that level of greed has infiltrated that market, maybe it deserves to die.

I know someone is going to yell at me about that but that’s kinda how I see it.

You don't care because you don't buy physical games. I don't care because I resolved not to give Sony a single red cent ever again some time in about 2005. We are not the same.

Same but it's also about game preservation which is threatened with this decision.

I agree with it in principle, particularly for the people who want that physical copy (my kids are big on nostalgic media) but yeah, I've been going pure digital for a long time.

I think my latest physical purchase was the orange box some 20 years ago. And that was only because I was abroad and it was stupid cheap.
