Hello Internet,

I have been part of the Gaming Community since the late 1980's - before the the online phenomenon. As a child that idea of getting and playing a game via a Customer, that didn't cause you physical pain (think contact sports etc) was unique. As most of us older Gamers know those days of gaming were rough, edgy and exciting.

Then in 1994 Sony developed one of the greatest gaming Consoles because of a beef with Nintendo. Since that time the PlayStation Brand has flourish because of us Gamers and the Sony Company. It could be argued that we both entered into a unwritten contract. That "Contract" has been through plenty of turbulent times but Sony never lost it's "Soul" until now.

The Gaming industry is worth roughly about 390 Billion Dollars. So I understand why investors and Shareholders are chasing profit. I can even understand chasing Digital media from financial perspective.

That being said Sony's decision to end production of physical discs is Crazy. There are plenty of regions in the world were internet connection in poor which means being Online is difficult if not impossible. What this basically means is that Gaming industry Shareholders are happy to loose Millions of Dollars. Sony and others are happy for Short term gains but loose long-term profit.

The online reaction to the Sony announcement was great to see and understandable. I expect it was probably expected by Sony's Board - somewhat - I don't think they expected it to be as strong as it was.

However, Gamers are still "outside the Tent" shouting in. I would argue that as a Movement Stop Killing Games should be a great lobby group for Gamers. SKG need to get Gamers to start investing money in all parties - Sony, Microsoft and Take Two so that Gamers are at the Boardroom Table when the decisions are being made - that way Gamers have a say in what happens

Am I Crazy?
