      Yeh they’re expecting the upcoming Microsoft/xbox layoff-ocalypse to dominate the news and make their news yesterday’s story. I’d bet they were expecting the layoffs to be announced yesterday on the Friday.

      Also there’s nothing they can say that hasn’t been said already that will make people who are angry change their minds, so there’s literally no point. It’s a vocal minority and the best thing for them to do is ignore it.

          Sony have been shit for 10+ years, and PlayStation is literally in the best financial position they have ever been. They’re printing money for Sony.

          Like I said, it’s a vocal minority complaining, and the best thing for Sony is to ignore them. It’s not the best for the people complaining, in fact it’s the absolute worst because they’re complaining because they want Sony to acknowledge them and reverse course, but Sony are not going to do that so saying nothing is in their best interests.

      I agree. No point in documenting the backlash with social media posts when they aren’t going to change their decision.

      On a side note, are physical copies of games anything more than install disks anymore?

        Not really, but they’re install disks you can trade in or lend to a friend.

              Console games also used to be entirely on disk, and didnt require online connections just to play an offline single player game.

              Times change.

                  I’m saying, not be cocksure in the ignorance of “That never happened before, surely it’ll never happen in the future”

                  Because gaming companies have spent the past 15-20 years stripping away our rights and our ownership and our ability to play our games that we’ve paid for.

                    But this is one we can be sure of, because discs are going away. That’s what started this whole thing. Discs aren’t going to start phoning home when they’re no longer even being manufactured.
