Well, Sony you are forcing my wallet to go to PC. Everything digital? Nah. I've owned a Playstation since 97 and this is the coup de grace
Edit: It really baffles me how a lot of you do not read on an internet forum at all. You just read the title of a topic and respond. It aint about just the whole digital vs physical thing. Its more about the fact they can rug pull you and take all of your games randomly. On top of that, since you can only get your games through Sony there is no incentive for discounts. They still won't read this though. Just clown behavior
If everything is all digital what makes you think Sony won't just act like Nintendo and NEVER give discounts on their games? The physical media market where stores would have sales kept the digital format competitive and fair for the consumer.
Another thing is that we do not really own the games digitally. I, like many of you, got used to the ease of digital this generation. Some of you started last generation or even the PS3/360 era. What happens if Sony just pulls the plug on the servers and all of the games you bought are just gone? And its in the fine print that you are basically buying a license and not owning the game.
I remember a few years ago Sony was going to close the PS3 store. There was outrage and they kept it intact. Now I hear they plan on doing it soon but that could be a rumor. Nintendo shut down their Wii stores and their 3DS stores. Some of those games are simply lost if you didnt buy them.
All consumers should be against them going purely digital. Easily the most anti consumer thing that we have seen in gaming.
I wont be buying any more consoles. My first console I played was the Atari in diapers. The first console I actually was coherent enough to remember was the NES. All of that will come to an end and I will just go to PC instead.
Consoles are already creeping up to comparative prices of PCs. They are making everything digital like PC except you have far less flexibility with the games.
It just baffles me how even a fraction of people are shrugging their shoulders. I still own pretty much every game I bought throughout the years from NES thru PS4.
Say goodbye to backwards compatibility too.
Why are people okay with being screwed?
