- Comment on stress 1 week ago:
This is the key. I was also like OPs post, super anxious and worried about everything.
Then I realized (with the help of therapy) that my worrying might be justified, yet it doesn’t benefit me at all. As you say, the things I beyond my control will happen anyway, so why stress abou them. And the things I control I can achieve with less mental effort, if I stop the constant worrying and overthinking.
- Comment on Data from the 2023 Insomniac leak showed that most first party Playstation games sold more physical discs than digital copies 1 week ago:
Yes, the used market is huge, and they are not profiting from it.
The whole this is just so sad. And I cannot even begin to think about the impact on the retailers. I trade a lot with a few small stores, without discs they’ll surely have to close, and people will lose their jobs.

Thanks for sharing the link, it’s good to see some more recent data. The 3% is tough to swallow as someone who likes to buy games day 1 and sell them later. From their perspective, it’s understandable they want to kill this, and focus on the higher margin digital segment. Still, I’m not going to applaud a giant corporation when they do something that benefits them but not the customers.

My big problem besides the price monopoly is the lack of true ownership for digital media. It’s just expensive licensing that can be taken away or altered at any moment. If Sony gets his way, we are looking at a very dark future for gaming

This data is of course a few years old, it has probably shifted towards digital during Covid. But Playstation is still quoting misleading digital sales %, as a lot of small titles and DLCs are only sold digitally, skewing the numbers.
Physical discs disappearing will hurt all players, even digital-only buyers, as Sony will have no competition from the physical market, and can set prices as high as they think they can get away with.

My hope is that this will give a boost to console piracy again. There will be a huge demand

I don’t keep my physical games, I buy and sell them regulary, so I keep my cost per game low, even for new titles. My problem with digital is that I cannot resell, it’s just a license I rent for full price

You are fine, just enjoy it while it lasts. I’m not going to throw my PS5 into the fire either, but I will not buy their next console, nor will I buy their games from 2028
