| PotentHerbs said: I've been an all digital buyer for nearly the last decade. I bought a ton of games on sale and some at full price. On very rare occasion I would buy physical, and for the most part, usually as gifts. |
Game sharing is also what secured me prioritising digital as I shared with my brother. I'm ultimately unaffected since I haven't bought a physical game since 2018 but I do hope it forces not only Sonys hand but also wider digital preservation & ownership laws/discussion. But the market needs to care enough to cause genuine disruption ala PS3/XboxOne. We will see whether that happens.
I've been put off enough by Playstations actions recently that I don't feel like endorsing any of their new products/subscriptions for the near future. I have a long backlog and a Switch 2 to play, so I don't mind offsetting some of my purchases for the next year or so. Probably Kena is the only "2026" title that may bring that into question with Ember being an independent & beloved studio but I doubt it's coming out this year. I hope it does though (Early November/December) because I think it would benefit from being one of the only big family friendly games this holiday.
