So first they say they are going to remove 500 digital movies people bought and a week later they say they are going all digital with upcoming games. How are we supposed to trust them with our games we purchase digitally?

The casual audience wont pay over $1000 for a PS6 and the collectors wont invest in the PS6

This is exactly why I got rid of my Xbox Series and got a Sega Genesis Mini with over 40 retro games built in. I figured out a while back exactly what a massive scam digital gaming would one day become. And I was right.

I plan to start getting more into retro games that I can collect and play in physical form.

Agreed, and it's the same with movies too. The newer movies that come out just arent as good as the many classics out there. Luckily with streaming apps like Tubi TV I've been exploring a lot of movies ive never seen before, and the ones i really like i'm trying to order on bluray so I can enjoy physical copies of them too.

I already own a Sega Mini with 40 games built in but I also would like to someday order a PSone mini and a Super Nintendo mini which both have some of my fav games built into the systems like Resident Evil: The Director's Cut and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

I'll be honest my dream is to one day find a PS2 System that actually works and collect my top favorite old school Resident Evil games from the Playstation and Playstation 2 eras like Resident Evil: The Director's Cut, Resident Evil 2, and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis for the PS1 plus Resident Evil: Outbreak and Resident Evil Outbreak: File#2 for the PS2.

I would have to get both a PS1 and a PS2 memory cards for this though, plus an HDMI adapter that works for both game systems.

Even the casual fans will be having second thoughts about playstation with there servers going down and people can't play there digital games. To which playstation responds by dangling a new game

Yeah it's really awful that they did that, and let's be honest Xbox and Nintendo are going down the same path too.

We all better stock up on physical copies of movies and video games while we still can.

Playstation and Microsoft stocks will eventually decarease so much that they will be deemed non viable if they keep these anti consumer practices up.

Retro gaming might be the future. Also steam games will work on each iteration of computers into the future

I was devastated Marvel Tokon from sony very likely wont work on steam deck. But that's ok I'll pick up Marvel vs Capcom 1,2 and 3. Guees my money not going to a sh***y company
