Sony killing physical games will have more ripple effect than we first envision. It will hurt retailers. It will damage any affiliate marketing. This will hurt media and creators depending on affiliate income like us. Which means less exposure for games. Which will hurt sales.

I'm officially quitting buying any games after DOOM DLC (which I don't even have to buy, because I got the C.E. last year). I'm out. Fuck this.

People need to speak with their wallet, I will never buy another digital game on console. NEVER. GTA can go to hell and so all the other AAA games that are releasing exclusively digital. It's quite alright there is 10000 games available on physical media, I'm ok to stop there and my PC.

Glad I already switched over to PC gaming. If I need to pick between buying digital games from PlayStation and buying digital games from Steam, I'm always gonna pick Steam since they've yet to fuck me over. I do have a PlayStation 5 too, but I imagine I'll be passing on the PS6.

Even though the PS3 and Vita stores will now be closing anyway, huge backlash when it was first announced got them to postpone it. Fans of physical media need to be very vocal and tell them everywhere, all the time between now and 2028.
