PlayStation discs will soon be gone!
Wtf #sony ?
The #playstation account announced in a blog post that they will stop making game discs altogether. http://play.st/4v86Wg3
This means :
- No buying second hand. Once the game is not sold anymore nobody can buy it
- Can not bring the game to someone’s house and play together, now you need to log into your account
- Sony can, for any or no reason remove a game from your library
- If you paid extra for a PS5 with a disc drive, too bad, you can’t use the drive you paid extra for with games beyond 2028!
- Overall, a very slippery slope for ownership.

This is just one more reason that I’ll add to my list as to why as soon as the Steam Machine is financially justifiable, I’ll be making the change.
I know it gets a lot of hate from people that build their own PC’s but I feel like they are missing something about the Steam Machine that makes it great… For console people, the Steam Machine is freedom from the bullshit games that Microsoft and Sony are playing. Do I still need to rely on digital downloads? Of course but they are mine actually downloaded to my HD just like a PC and I can get them from any source 🏴☠️!
