The digital push by Sony et al, will, I reckon, have dire consequences for the gaming industry. Players / Gamers / Customers - don’t like being farmed for their funds, disposable or otherwise. Already, there is pushback…and it will only harden the more Sony et al attempt to force their corporate greed and monopolistic control over us. Some countries are pushing back, too! IMHO: when MS was able to charge a license fee for every copy of Windows and the suite of MS Word / Excel / etc. - it opened the floodgates to other corporate entities of what could be gained, and what they’re missing out on. A precedent was set…monkey see, monkey do! Bungle - killed Destiny. Bungle - deeply wounded Sony with that overpriced 🍋 Sony - killed Bungle to teach them a lesson. Problem is, the real culprits escaped with golden parachutes…whilst the worker bees were thrown under the bus…and Destiny was buried under the tombstone called Marathon. 400,00+ Signatures…to no avail. A bump in players in Destiny…playing for what?…playing in a veritable ghost town with little or no purpose. How long before the numbers wither on the vine? Player sentiment is solid…as the wheels fall off the Destiny wagon - as they must, as they are…with nearly all Destiny worker bees dismissed - the writing is on the wall. Winter is already nigh… The Hopium: if an eastern entity took an interest in the number of passionate, loyal, Destiny fans, and somehow created a new (similar) follow-on game, eg, Before The Traveller…or even a straightforward D3, that’s the only realistic scenario that would cut the mustard. Sony / Bungle would have zero involvement. That is all. Just my 2d worth. YMMV. Carry On…into the void. Ease Springs! 🖖👻 MTFBWY

BTW. I don't remember complains on PC and Steam personally were games was all digit codes in boxes instead of disks.

Seeing every comment section on the PlayStation YouTube with people just calling out Sony is hilarious lol

If your playing a game that requires servers you never owned it you get to play until the servers get shut down which Sony will end up doing to destiny within the next 5 plus years. Sad truth of digital only in general is its gonna happen eventually. The younger generation won't care as much than the next younger generation will care less until digital is the new normal.

Depends on the game and what's actually on the disk. Like it wouldn't matter if you have the d2 disk as you couldn't play it once it's shut down. The real issue with Sony going all digital is their monopoly on prices.

im scared

[quote]And no one had the brain cells to keep a backup copy? [/quote]they have the copy, unfortunately, they dont have the engine to play it on anymore. the tiger engine was upgraded to the point were the old data just isnt playable on it any more and would have cost too much to update

I didn't pay extra for the ps5 with a disc drive just because it looks better. Might be the last console I own though.

I was asking that back when Konami didn't have the final build for Silent Hill 2 when they decided to do the HD collection on PS3. I don't understand how these companies cannot keep one (if not two) copies of their work.
