I guess that's that then, huh? The end of buying games for PlayStation for me - at least, for the most part. I guess I'll still play some games from time to time but talk about destroying interest in a platform. Only Nintendo remains but for how long? blog.playstation.com/2026/07/01/p...

This comes on top of insane price increases. Like, what are we even doing at this point? I fucking hate where the industry is going right now. Layoffs galore, huge price increases, elimination of entire formats, massive dev cycles and with impossible stakes. Beginning of the end. :(

Imagine the sales pitch Sony PlayStation 6 Digital only, $1000, no more backwards compatibility with your old discs, ultra lengthy cross-gen period, slow first-party release cadence...what a steal! Is this some sort of challenge? Anger your fanbase as much as possible and see what you can sell?
