They did backtrack on closing the PS3 store for far less backfiring than this, tho. I do believe this change is far my important for Sony and it would need an immense amount of pushback to at the very most just delay it a few years, but I've literally just saw a page dedicated to a cat I follow on Facebook post about it, a page about a cat. It is definitely reaching quite a wide audience at least right now that it is news, I'm actually surprised too see such a reaction myself, seems like physical media and onwership are actually more important than hard data on a spreadshit about ratios can tell. I wonder if it'll last as well, my POV is that people eventually just suck it up and accept mostly everything, but breaking points do exist. |
Perhaps. Consumer push-back is ultimately the most important thing if a decision doesn't benefit you. However, I find the situations a little different from Sony's POV. Physical sales were still very strong in the PS4 era and Sony had pretty much closed things with PS3 and Vita. Consumers wanting to still purchase digital games ultimately was to Sony's benefit.
Here, it's easier for them to ride this out because of GTA6. If GTA6 smashes records etc, I expect the tune of many people complaining in these comments to change. If consumers don't want a digital only future, then don't go and buy GTA6. There's no reason for Sony to back-down now when there decision will most likel be vindicated by the sales of GTA6.
