    Sony has brought shame upon the household of its videogame ancestors.

    iam8bit, a company known for its physical gaming collectibles, which said it is “profoundly disappointed” by the news.

    …Well, to be fair, these companies would obviously complain.

    I’d “buy” this headline more if bigger studios spoke up.

      I wouldn’t. Even if bigger companies spoke up, it’s only performatively to garner consumer support for their brand.

    It would take a lifetime to play all the great games there are to play on generations of multiple game consoles. That’s all on discs and cartridges. Does this matter?

      Yup, as there will be more great games made yet

        yea but that doesn’t matter, if people just didn’t buy it in favor of just playing the ones available, the ps7 would backtrack heavy and have a disk reader. Hell I firmly expect they would actually make a mid line change to provide a ps6 with a disk reader if they felt that it was a primary reason people wern’t buying.
