Yo ho ho a pirates life for me ☠️
If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing
It’s time to set sail 🏴☠️⛵️
I'm glad to finally see a big news network covering this issue. We've been seeing this creep up for years, along with all the other digital-ID stuff controlling how we can use our time and money...
Having to end Discs would really ruin tradition on video game consoles. Not just you can't keep the game but but you can't play it offline.
There should be a class action lawsuit for deleting the movies folks have purchased
Man, who remembers trading games with your friends as a kid? You buy one game, then get to play bunch of others as you trade it around.
TIME TO BOYCOTT THEM!!!! 😮😮😮😮😮
Good to see channel 9 covering this. Great work!
easy W for the ACCC... If they ever actually did their one job, that is.
Wtf, bye bye PS then.
Older console sales 📈
Full release prices for 20 year old games
WAIT.... this means EB-Games is going to go bankrupt !!!
If everyone refused to buy digital and stopped right now we'd be fine. They'd realise they need to keep disks
With no disks and the problems going on involving the stop killing games act, its time we all wake up and stop buying games. The only reason companies keep going in this direction is because we keep lining their pockets with money even though were supposedly upset. They'll keep taking away your ownership of your games and jack up the prices until they finally hit the plateau of sales and revenue. Based on the players spending habbits across all platforms, were nowhere near the point people are gonna slow down buying new games, so proces and restrictions will keep climbing.
If buying isn't owning then stealing isn't piracy.
Simple. If everyone refuses to buy them, they will go back to discs.
We as gamers gotta protest this bs they only do it because we allow them to
Sony saying that it starts in 2028 January, is them low-key confirming that the PS6 is launching in 2027 November. Also that the PS6 Home and the PS6 Handheld will both be Digital Only devices to the PSN network.
