It's called a meme. Not spam. It's relevant to the topic, unlike the acidic stuff you post.

See what I mean, just constant negativity toward people who want physical discs to survive
Go see a shrink about it.

The Death of Discs is a Manufactured Lie

When Sony highlights in their financial reports that 80% to 85% of software units sold are digital, they are counting individual item volume, not full-game choices. They inflate this unit number by grouping every $5 indie title, digital-only release, and forced digital code into the same bucket as a $70 physical disc.

Meanwhile, physical discs are falsely claimed to be "only 5%" of the market's total revenue because corporations switch metrics, blending retail disc dollars against a massive pool of billions generated by purely digital microtransactions, DLC, and active monthly network subscriptions.

They are manipulating mismatched metrics right out of their financial reports to distort player habits, inflate digital numbers, and systematically erase your right to physical ownership. Don't let them rewrite the facts to force a disc-less future.

Data from the massive internal Insomniac Games leak shows that 31 out of 33 PlayStation first-party titles sold more physical copies than digital copies.

Sony's public financial reports frequently highlight that digital transactions account for roughly 78% to 85% of their total sales via digital in 2022 which they now claim is 95%.

The leaked internal documents reveal that single-player, narrative-driven blockbuster games heavily favor physical disc purchases.

• Uncharted 4: A Thief's End: 83% Physical
• Sackboy: A Big Adventure: 77% Physical
• Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart: 76% Physical...

• HAL 9000

Well that about sums it up then.

Draw a line under it, Sony was lying to make their announcement more acceptable.

That data is from 2021 and includes PS4 titles.

Seriously you guys need to start thinking before posting or at least use Google.

But fine, let's look at other publishers then, are they also lying?

Capcom sits at 93% digital sales as per latest results:

TakeTwo's total digital revenue was 97% of their total revenue...

You can't expect a repost bot to do 2mins of actual research, or even type their own thoughts down for once lol.

The DLC/MTX thing was already discussed on page 8 and is complete BS, they report it separately on their financial statements.
