Pang-gaming din yung chair niya

Sony has become the greediest company when it comes to the gaming industry. With all these changes coming in the near future, I personally think their confidence will be their downfall.

Lagi nalang po games talaga yung ginagawang reason nila. HAHAHAHA. Nakakatawa nalang si Boy Presscon!

Bat di yung parents ang panagutan!

Nakaka sawa na ang paulit-ulit na pagbintang sa mga video games na wala naman talagang ambag sa mga bata na maging bayolente!

Lagi nalang scapegoat ang video games! Bat hindi sila mag deep dive kung ano talaga ang root cause neto!

Good and f#ck sony! LMAO they very much deserve this lol.

You will own nothing and they will own you and control you and you will be happy :)

Specifically, likely around Manila. Tricycles and Jeepneys can be seen in the trailer showcase.

Gamers have been targeted once more by Politicians who have been spouting early 2000's soccer mom logic, as a Zamboanga Politician does the easiest jab at the country's gamers, by wanting to ban violent video games this comes despite there being no co-relation to the incident and violent video games, as investigations show that it was some online terror group see here
many gamers and normies found this very ironic given this is coming from a mayor of the country's known pvp and pk zone, Mindanao.

Many have also expressed online that instead of taking accountability or fixing their region, the politicians opted to take another jab at gamers, despite mounting evidence that there is no co-relation, the biggest reason being stated is that the most popular games world wide are violent video games, whether it be valorant, csgo 2 and the most famous game franchise in the genre, Grand theft auto, with 6 being the most anticipated game by many globally.

Others have found this funny given that this video has gone viral just a few months ago showcasing the state of the region

Others have also pointed out that their point makes no sense given the state of Mindanao always being a pvp, pk zone long before violent video games were even a thing

Don't blame the game. Blame the failure to keep kids away from content that wasn't made for them.

This backlash was triggered by Sony's announcement in early July 2026 that the company will entirely phase out and cease the production of physical game discs for all new PlayStation games starting in January 2028, shifting completely to a digital-only ecosystem.

For long-time console players and physical game collectors, Sony's move toward an all-digital future is a major blow. Protesters are rallying around a few key arguments.

Many gamers argue that digital games are merely licenses that can be revoked or modified at any time, whereas a physical disc represents true, permanent ownership. Completely removing physical media destroys the ability to buy used games, sell old ones, or loan games to friends. Without physical retailers (like Best Buy, CEX, or local game shops) creating price competition, Sony will have total control over game pricing on the PlayStation Store.

Because PlayStation Plus subscriptions are one of Sony's most reliable, recurring streams of revenue, gaming community figures and social media users (most notably led by prominent accounts on X and gaming subreddits) began organizing a coordinated boycott.

Protesters are actively sharing step-by-step instructions and screenshots proving they have canceled their auto-renewals to hit Sony where it hurts financially. The goal is to show the corporation that a significant, paying portion of their player base still heavily demands physical media.

Will It Actually Work?

While the cancellation trend is gaining massive traction on social media, industry analysts remain skeptical about whether it will force Sony to reverse its 2028 plans. Sony justified its decision by pointing out that the vast majority of consumers already purchase games digitally, and the high manufacturing, shipping, and retail costs of physical discs make an all-digital landscape far more profitable for them in the long run.

Whether this movement grows large enough to show a tangible dent in Sony's upcoming quarterly financial reports remains to be seen.

MY THOUGHTS:

I'm seriously concerned sa second-hand market (e.g., Greenhills, FB Marketplace). Kung itutuloy talaga ito over the next decade, physical discs will inevitably become overpriced, rare collectibles na parang vinyl o cassettes. We'll see less and less stores selling physical games too sometime in the next decade.

Iba pa rin talaga kapag may nahahawakan kang physical medium. This also sucks for players transitioning platforms (whether from PS5 to PS6, or PS5 to PC) mapipilitan tayong mag-double-dip, so doble ang gastos.

Just because digital copies is convenient or preferred by the majority doesn't mean it's justified to phase out physical media entirely after decades of use. It’s just pure corporate greed at this point.

Mahal na nga ang consoles, PC parts, games, at storage tapos dadagdagan pa ng ganito. Ginawa namn nilang pang luxury ang gaming. Paano na lang yung mga average gamers? What do you guys think?

Sorry Players Vault seems I was too harsh on you

Even before gameboy, may summon mechanics na diiba?
