Communities surrounding WARDOGS, WoW, Diablo and Arc Raiders say creators who spend all day playing can develop priorities that don’t match those of regular players with limited time.
The argument isn’t that streamer feedback should be ignored entirely, but that the wider community should matter more than a handful of highly vocal creators.
Multiple reviewers have made the same point, arguing that combat often consists of mashing Square, occasionally lunging with Triangle and using the same approach across fight after fight.
With the campaign running for around 14–15 hours, people are saying the shallow combat wears thin well before reaching the credits.
The TecLab team modified a Galax RTX 5090D HOF by removing its original 16-pin power connectors and replacing them with three traditional 8-pin connectors. The heavily modified card was then tested under extreme conditions, eventually reaching around 900 watts of power consumption and clock speeds of up to 3,400 MHz.
The experiment is particularly interesting because modern high-end GPUs have increasingly relied on compact high-power connectors. The RTX 5090 already has a substantial 575W TDP, making a 900W configuration an entirely different level of power consumption.
The test was conducted using extensive hardware modifications and liquid cooling, so this is definitely not something ordinary PC builders should attempt. Instead, it demonstrates just how far enthusiast hardware modders can push flagship GPUs when power delivery and cooling are taken to the extreme.
Would you ever want a gaming PC powerful enough to run an RTX 5090 at 900 watts?
Some say they were happy to play both games this year, but seeing the new GTA 6 footage made them rethink that completely.
Others were still unsure about GTA 6 heading into the showcase, but the extended gameplay reveal appears to have changed their opinion.
With more than 80 hours potentially needed before even getting distracted by the open world, some players would rather spend their time in Leonida than jump into another COD.
And this is why I always believe that competition breeds innovation. I hope other companies follow suit, not just by copying Xbox, but by finding even better ways to improve the experience for us, the consumers.
At the end of the day, this could be more than just a convenient new feature. It could be a great way to bridge the gap between physical and digital gaming.
And most importantly, it’s a big win for game preservation. The more ways we have to access and keep the games we own, the better it is for gamers and future generations.
Physical or digital, I think we all win when the industry gives us more choices, not fewer.
The livestream chat was repeatedly filled with the message and disc emojis throughout the presentation, while viewers continued demanding a physical release in the comments afterwards.
Some fans even started calling the game “Phantom Disc Zero” and said they would only buy it if a physical version becomes available.
Man, it really does feel good coming home to a collection of games that actually feels like a collection. I love looking through the little booklets, checking out the artwork, getting a cool steelbook, and having physical games around that can actually become conversation pieces.
Someone might look at all that and say, "You know you could just digitize this" or "You could just emulate it." And sure, digital has its place and emulation has its purpose. But there's also a value and enjoyment in physical media that I feel gets completely overlooked these days.
If someone collects vinyl and gets a limited pressing, an original Tupac print, an Iron Maiden record, or a vinyl with some crazy unique design, would you tell them they should just stream it on Spotify? Of course not. The whole point is that they enjoy owning and collecting it.
I think that's the part that gets lost in the digital vs physical debate. It's not always about which one is more convenient. Sometimes it's about the hobby itself, the collection, the memories, and having something you can actually hold onto.
I've bought plenty of games digitally because it's convenient, and some games are digital-only anyway. But I've also had some great experiences going into game stores and conventions, talking to other gamers, finding old games, trading stuff, and discovering something I didn't even know I wanted.
That's why I don't really like the attitude of "We're done with discs, move on already." Maybe some people are ready for that, and that's fine. But there are still plenty of gamers who genuinely enjoy collecting physical games and everything that comes with it.
You can pick up a game years later and instantly remember where you were when you played it, who you played it with, or how excited you were when you first got it. Those memories become part of the collection.
Games are more than just the next big release or the latest tech trend. They're art, just like movies, music, books and other forms of media.
And sometimes, having something physical sitting on your shelf makes that feeling a little more special.
If you like digital, cool. If you like physical, cool. Everyone’s got their own vibe and reasons, and honestly there’s nothing wrong with that.
What I don’t get is why people feel the need to constantly beef with the other side. It’s getting kinda annoying ngl. You don’t have to agree with someone to just respect their choice. At the end of the day, we’re all here because we love games.
Personally, I still prefer physical and I’ll always back it, especially with some of Sony’s kinda greedy moves around digital ownership and control. But even saying that, we’re still gamers first, always.
Physical, digital, whatever you’re into. Just play what you enjoy, have fun, and let’s keep it chill between each other.
At this point, this isn't just about whether Sony changes its mind. It's about standing up for something we genuinely believe is worth protecting.
I don't support the protest because I think we are guaranteed to win. I support it because I believe physical games, ownership, preservation, and consumer choice are principles worth defending. Sometimes you stand up for something because it's right, not because victory is guaranteed.
Even if Sony goes ahead with its plans, I don't want to look back years from now and say, "Well, there was nothing we could do." I want it to be remembered that there were people who refused to simply accept it without a fight. People who kept speaking up, kept disagreeing, and remained consistent in what they believed.
And that's what matters to me. History doesn't only remember the people who won. It also remembers the people who stood their ground when everyone else told them to give up.
Maybe this takes years. Maybe Sony never changes its position. Fine.
If physical media is worth protecting today, it will still be worth protecting tomorrow. And as long as I believe that, I'll keep standing up for it.
Not because I know we'll win, but because I refuse to abandon a principle just because the fight is difficult.
