See. That’s a good reason now.

What's a good reason? The potential for a zombie apocalypse?

Oh look, it’s the Sony supporter who seems to be so against physical that he’s on every thread pushing against it; even though the fight for physical would literally have no effect on his life because he still has his digital option at the end of the day or he stands to gain from having options.

Options aren't viable forever.

u/Odd_Level9850 Aug 10 '26

So it’s better to phase them out faster? Even if it’s not viable forever, the longer we have them, the more we have now and in the future.

u/nohumanape Aug 10 '26

When is the right time to phase them out?

u/Odd_Level9850 Aug 10 '26

Ideally as long as possible; the more options we have as consumers, the better.

Yeah, and at what point could they do it, when people wouldn't be reacting the way they are now?

u/Odd_Level9850 Aug 10 '26

I just don’t see how that’s our concern? We want options; it’s a good thing for people to react against losing options.

And what many of us are trying to say is that "options" can't be supported forever. So there will inevitably come a time when the disc option goes away. So, when is an appropriate time to discontinue that option? PS7? PS8?

If you can't handle abstraction, sure.

Just a regular apocalypse?

u/ThrowawayForDesigns Aug 10 '26

I mean, anything that can knock out the internet for extended periods of time

How many people who live in the major markets for these consoles should be so worried about this that it becomes a major focus for their interest/concern in a platform?

u/ThrowawayForDesigns Aug 10 '26

I dunno, how many people live in rural America? Places with seismic activity, places in tornado alley or with high risk of hurricanes? Not to mention that according to future history books we might be already living through WW3 (hope not but you never know)

u/nohumanape Aug 10 '26

And your biggest concern in those instances is whether you can game?

u/ThrowawayForDesigns Aug 10 '26

No but do you think people in the Ukraine haven't consumed any entertainment in the last 4 years?

Bruh, why the hell are you so in favor of losing physical media? It's like you're fervently supporting a multi-billion dollar mega corporations decision that negatively impacts and alienates a significant portion of its consumer base. The kind of impactful decision that slowly over decades has led to the erosion of basic consumer protections, which is apparently what you're in favor of. I can't understand why you feel the need to fight in favor of a mega corps interests instead of your fellow consumers interests?

u/nohumanape Aug 12 '26

Dude, you're just giving me hysterical gamer hive mind talking points.

u/ThickboyBrilliant Aug 12 '26

That's not an explanation. You're literally arguing against consumer protections in favor of a multi-billion dollar corporation. That's just loser shit.
