…Well, to be fair, these companies would obviously complain. Game discs are literally their job.
I’d “buy” this headline more if bigger studios spoke up.
I wouldn’t. Even if bigger companies spoke up, it’s only performatively to garner consumer support for their brand.
Sony has brought shame upon the household of its videogame ancestors.
It would take a lifetime to play all the great games there are to play on generations of multiple game consoles. That’s all on discs and cartridges. Does this matter?
Yup, as there will be more great games made yet
yea but that doesn’t matter, if people just didn’t buy it in favor of just playing the ones available, the ps7 would backtrack heavy and have a disk reader. Hell I firmly expect they would actually make a mid line change to provide a ps6 with a disk reader if they felt that it was a primary reason people wern’t buying.
sadly… the same could be said about most of the industry. So with subscriptions, with licenses, with micro-transactions…
The consumers strongest weapon is their wallet, if they don’t buy then the company is forced to innovate or die. Yet people don’t seem to realize that
