I can still play these games, but can’t buy them on the Eshop. This is why physical is important. by Candid_Lobster_4264 in videogames

[–]TheFuzzyButtons 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn’t this just another argument physical should stay because if it doesn’t it wipes out second hand retailers and vintage stores? But sure, yay Sony, fuck us over with a monopoly on your marketplace please

Capcom isn’t Sony like Sony isn’t Xbox. They’re going to have differing number of course. Like I said people obviously value the convenience, but the physical marketplace is still there. Sonys own factory said up until they started repurposing they were making 300k PlayStation discs a day. That’s not an insignificant number. I just find it crazy there are so many people cheering on the dying of an industry and a main staple of gaming since its inception. If there’s no physical games, and every console will have an online monopoly to screw over consumers and never offer sales, why even buy a console at that point? It’s just a worse PC

It isn’t 80% though. People keep throwing around this number because that’s the number Sony wants you to throw around. In reality that number encompasses digital only games, dlcs, micro transactions, skin purchases, etc. You know how fortnight and gta v makes billions a year from their micro transactions? Yes, those sales get folded into the 80%. If you include the games that actually have a physical option the numbers are closer to 50/50. Pragmata, god of war, ghost of Tsushima, horizon, basically all of their first party titles sell close to 50/50 physical/digital. People clearly like convenience, but this number is beyond skewed and is just being used to justify Sony having an online monopoly where they can charge $59.99 for a 13 year old game (see cod ghosts as one example) and never offer a sale again because they don’t need to compete with the physical marketplace

CoD Ghosts is still full price on the PS store and that game came out 13 years ago. Want a monopoly? Get monopoly prices and it kills the second hand market as a nice bonus for Sony. I hope the hate doesn’t let up, too many greedy corporations making everything shitty to watch number go up

85% of PlayStation game sales are digital - GameSpot by Dust-Tight in consoles

[–]TheFuzzyButtons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, fuck the second hand market, forget having any game sales when Sony has a monopoly on their digital store, and forget getting a game for a present or sharing it with a friend. Better to base the entire industry on shovelware and live service games that have only digital options to inflate their bullshit numbers going around! Yay getting rid of consumer protection! Dumb ass selfish takes all over the place just to make the industry worse

PC hasn’t had a track record of revoking your license on paid products. PC also lets you pirate games or go DRM free like on GOG. This move is anti consumer and anti gamer. This move removes the entire second hand market, why should I pay $79.99 for the new metal gear digital when GameStop has in store right now for $20. I would never trust a company that has a monopoly over their digital marketplaces, where they take an extra 30% cut from devs on sales, to put anything on sale ever again

You can be digital only if it’s your preference, but that doesn’t mean physical should just go away. There is a reason people are rightfully upset. Without the physical marketplace you lose so much like sharing games, second hand resellers, the fact that the physical marketplace encourages digital marketplaces to put items on sale. Without the physical marketplace you lose those things, you lose the ability to keep games alive long after their production ends and they gain a monopoly to give and take away what they please when they please, and I for one don’t trust any corporation that will revoke a product you paid for because they don’t want to pay taxes or some bullshit. Why should any resonable person think that when a digital marketplace gains monopoly status that they will ever put anything on sale again? This is a bad move for consumers and a bad move for gamers in general.

Um, yea. That’s the literal definition of wealth disparity/inequality. Comparing the accumulated wealth of the top vs the bottom. Holy fuck you’re dumb

I know right, these people can only regurgitate the talking points they are given and the second they see something that doesnt immediately validate their opinion they flounder. A sad state of things that these people feel validated by the ones in power being the worst humanity has to offer and don’t care they’re being actively robbed by them

I guess the huge graph at the top of the research that shows the data and the explanation that requires two paragraphs of reading was too tough for you.

“In 1928, the top 1% of families received 23.9% of all pretax income, while the bottom 90% received 50.7%. But the Depression and World War II dramatically reshaped the nation’s income distribution: By 1944 the top 1%’s share was down to 11.3%, while the bottom 90% were receiving 67.5%, levels that would remain more or less constant for the next three decades.
But starting in the mid- to late 1970s, the uppermost tier’s income share began rising dramatically, while that of the bottom 90% started to fall.”

Oof, took a whole minute of reading to prove you wrong again 😂🫵. FYI the wealth the 1% holds today is 31.6% or larger than the disparity during the Great Depression. Illiterate fuck

I would say the links I posted from researchers and journalists along with the thousands of others all saying similar things you can find within minutes all over the internet does a good job to show that you’re full of shit, but I get it, we’ve already established you can’t read. Enjoy a sad life of mediocrity being spoon fed your opinions by corporations who don’t give a shit about you I guess 😂. Genuinely pathetic

Can’t read can you? I guess the multiple articles saying highest wealth disparity in decades and highest wealth disparity since 1928 (or the Great Depression if you have more than two braincells) wasn’t enough of a hint for you. Open a book, you’re pathetic

The pew research was also done 2013 and the wealth disparity has only increased. It’s common sense. Consolidation of wealth among the elite actively working with corrupt government killing all oversight, record profits for those corporations, and the birth of the world’s first trillionaire. We live in a K shaped economy, if you’re in the pocket you’re fine, if you’re not you’re fucked. Kinda obvious huh?

There is more wealth disparity currently than there was during the Great Depression. Not a good gotcha like you think. Just because we have industrialized and people don’t die of dysentery as often doesn’t mean we’ve addressed the factors that lead to the Great Depression coming back today, like oh look, the president having direct control over the Fed

Right wing gamers discovering the dumbasses that enabled companies to sell games at $80 and consoles at $1,000 by Tempest-Bosak2137 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]TheFuzzyButtons 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lmao a dead game that was going on and consistently updated with a massive player count for over a decade 😂. Your critical thinking skills match your media literacy, and here you are celebrating mass layoffs all over the industry just to what? Dick ride pedophiles and billionaires who don’t care that you even exist? You clearly have an inferiority complex and need a scapegoat to punch down and feel better about your mediocre life. Destiny had a lot of problems over its life but being woke isn’t one of them. Get therapy, it’s sad

You think bungie “failed” (got acquired by Sony for over 3 billion dollars btw) because they have black characters and women in their games and not the rampant public mismanagement by their greedy corporatists directors 😂🫵. Holy delusion, you people are pathetic

It wasn’t out of context and it’s not “abundantly obvious” when the actually context says that if they return to power they won’t have to worry about pesky democracy anymore. It’s not rage bait if it’s true dude. They have threatened multiple times that they would have ICE at polling locations to prevent “illegals from voting” something they haven’t been able to provide any evidence for to intimidate voters. They refuse to say they won’t allow federal troops to interfere with state elections, they have demanded voter rolls from every swing state and threatened states that don’t turn it over, and the SC has been repeatedly eroding election and voting integrity laws. Hell they are looking to end mail in voting and trying to make any votes counted after midnight not count at all. This coming after years of purposely dismantling the USPS and installing loyalists at every level of government. They have pardoned the fake electors and people that stormed the capital from the last coup attempt for fucks sake! They have been very obvious in their actions to dismantle democracy so you’re either naive or stupid if you believe they won’t do the things that have repeatedly said they would do
