I agree but physical games are on life support. It won't be long until almost everything is digital, including money. Soon DVDs will be like 8 track tapes; History. Thanks to piracy and hacking; movies, music, and gaming will all be digital/streaming. It's inevitable.
The issue isn’t just digital games-it’s the entire structure of modern gaming. Whether you buy a game digitally or physically, you are still tied to the online infrastructure of the platform. The disc doesn’t actually contain the full game most of the time; it just acts as a key to access it. If the servers go down or a company decides to revoke access, it doesn’t matter if you have a physical copy or not-the game is gone. Take The Crew as the perfect example. Even people who owned the physical disc couldn’t play because Ubisoft shut down the servers. Same with Gran Turismo 7 when it was offline for a whole day-people who owned the disc still couldn’t access the game properly. The industry has shifted towards requiring constant online verification, even for single-player content in some cases. So, you blaming only digital purchases is missing the bigger picture. The real problem is that we, as consumers, don’t actually own most of our games anymore-we just have licenses that can be revoked at any time. It’s a system-wide issue, not just a digital vs. physical debate. I’m so tired of this dystopia!
I agree it use to be free that's how I started my online gaming was playing on ps3 ps4 until they went to paying for it dk y they had to do that I can understand paying for a premium package of psn but for just a basic just to be able to play online should be free. Cuz we pay for games that are 60 to 100 plus and then we have to pay a psn account or an Xbox account just to be able to play online it's kinda dumb
Probably another data leak!!! Don't want to say it because people are pissed on PC platform for needing to register with Sony network(For this exact reason) just to play the PC games. Number 1 reason why PC players don't want to have PSN account because most don't have a PS5?PS4 and mostly don't trust Sony with their information. Sony pretends it's a data leak but it's most likely them selling the info and doing an off server data dump to the buyer.. Being Silent this long tells me they are heavy PRing it to spin the story without telling you what really happened. Also Data leaks for Ps4/Ps5 is limited but data leak with PC players means the hackers could infiltrate you entire PC data due to PSN side data tracking with PC users.. Remember the most money that SONY makes is to sell your data/information to 3rd/4th parties.. PC players because of this your entire PC is in Jeopardy.. SONY constantly in the past 2 years have been screwing people and doing constant shady crap.. Microsoft/Xbox don't have these problems!! HUmmm
“always online” gaming is complete BS. Making gamers totally dependent on unreliable networks is a scam. Particularly egregious when you can’t even access single player content without a network connection.
This mixture of AI and cringe stock footage is literally melting my brain, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S REAL ANYMORE! And I especially love all the shots of people playing on a PC, in this video about PSN.... When did we put plasma weapons on the space shuttle, and when can I play that game? They seem to be really enjoying it.
Just don’t play any online video games until they fixed the problem. It’s not a big deal, popping in your physical single player games and they’ll work just fine :) As for watching movies, just popping your Blu-ray and 4K‘s and it’ll play perfectly fine. O wait most of the people are streaming in digital purchasers because you have no common sense.
Been playing PlayStation since the first one but I'm done with PlayStation completely after this. It's not that it's down it's the lack of communication from Sony. We pay them to provide a service and how many times have they failed to provide that service but we don't get a discount they still want us to pay in full.
Ya,at the same time UA-cam had a *mandatory* update that my old phone& tablet didn't want to download. so was twitch or nothing😐 (update- back to normal)
I hate the timing of this....i was just about to play the monster hunter wilds 2nd beta....and now i cant.....but i dont wanna move to PC or XBOX...idk what to do..
Worst thing is they make you pay money to play online. Pc is better imo but honestly optimisation for pc is trash , the quality of gaming companies have gone down the drain over the recent years.
@hemendraravi4787 absolutely.....they dont want us to game anymore...they want us to pay for something we'll never use....I'm still trying to connect to psn and its still down...they'll never get it fixed..
I have slim and a pro. My slim is still loading offline games and online games but connection error pops up for online games. The pro doesnt play anything at all.
@user10749 well I'm playing my trash box right now. What's wrong with your Dead Station 5. 5 weeks what you going to do in 5 weeks. Look at that thing 🤣😂😂☠️☠️💀⚰️😯🤣😂😂☠️☠️💀⚰️😯🤣
It's not the end of the world, don't you guys have other hobbies to do until it comes back up? Maybe clean up all the dirty plates and piss bottles in your bedroom or help your mom with chores

Never buying digital games!
It doesnt matter really if you buy physical discs anymore. All the disc is now a licence you still have to download the game

They better give compensation
Psn should be free like wtf this is ridiculous and we don’t get compensation for it either like the hell

We pay for this yet they do not say a word what the fuck . They better give a good refund or else am not getting next ps staff fuck em
PlayStation need to say what's wrong
Last time it was down for 23 days, so don’t hold your breath
We fortnite players are PISSED!
❤❤
This is why I got a PS5 with a disc player. Still can't get online perks but at leàt I can still play
It’s still ongoing? 16:06 in the uk and nothing.
The problem is when PlayStation comes back on there's gonna be millions of people trying to play 😔
My ps portal won't boot up, has black screen with white line across, is this because of the servers down, it's been about 16hrs now thx😖
The only thing I'm able to do on my PlayStation 5 right now is watch UA-cam and play a few offline games
Whoever is responsible for Psn going down should be getting massive jail time.
