Yes and that’s why your opinion is minority.
Facts don’t support that assessment.
There are an estimated 3,700,000,000 people on earth who regularly play video games.
- What percentage of those people do you think read gaming journalism?
- How many engage in video game discourse online?
- How many do you think even understand terms like EULA, MTX, always-online, DRM, etc.?
- How many do you think care about physical media?
What you are experiencing is combination of false consensus and confirmation bias.

How do you have the authority to know that my opinion is minority opinion, then? Do you know all of those gamers?
“It isn’t ME that’s wrong, its Lemmy, reddit, twitter, PlayStation blog, Facebook, etc. Was hoping [insert community here] would be different”
I know that the majority of PlayStation gamers don’t support this because they deleted the PlayStation blogpost that they announced this on because of all do the backlash. They’ve been community noted on every tweet they’ve put out for their anti consumer bs.
Community notes on twitter are majority opinion at least on that platform.

How many people do you think there are online complaining about this? 1,000,000? 10,000,000?
Let’s be unreasonably generous and say that 100,000,000 people are online right now, incensed by this move! That’s 2.7% of gamers.
At least TRY and put your opinions into some kind of perspective before acting like they are universal truths…

Wll I mean if we’re just going off the perspectives being offered online the ONLY person I’ve seen defend this is you, who worked with console companies in the past.
On the other hand even entire development companies with huge skin in the game like Nippon Ichi Software, Atari, Iam8bit, and the Entertainment Retailers Association have voiced that they are against this.
Wanna know what’s even better? Sony did this without telling a single one of their partners they were going to do this. And you trust them to make the right moves with the things I buy from them? They don’t even respect their fucking publishers and retail partners.
So far only companies I can find FOR this decision are the ones you have worked for which, color me shocked, think that they are making the right decision!

There is no right or wrong decision… still lost on the concept of subjectivity eh?
