What makes the physical situation especially funny is that some of us poor delulus had dreams about a fully backwards compatible PS6 that plays the entire glorious Playstation library from PS1 to PS5 🤡

It's amazing how many cards Sony could play and chose not to out of greed and stupidity. They forgot what it means to have good PR. Some of that is fueled by Microsoft's incredible incompetence (and greed) which turned Sony uber arrogant and complacent. But Steam and Nintendo exist, so they can't just do whatever they want without losing players.

The fact that they still didn't make a single comment on the continuous backlash astounds me. It's just one ridiculous thing after another, what even is going on? I'm honestly at disbelief. Crunchyroll doesn't have competition like Playstation does, so I'm not really concerned about an ad tier model or locking the store behind a subscription paywall unless Valve does it first (not happening), but what do I know? I didn't think them ditching discs so soon had a possibility higher than 1% and here we are!

Sony not answering anyone is actually worse than the decision itself IMO. Not for you or me, but for them.

Their bet was waiting a bit for things to cool down and moving on, don't agree with it but I can see it being effective with some small repercution stuff, but it's clearly not the case and yet they are still just going to keep looking away from all the damage on their brand...

The thing is, that kind of behavior is no news to me, anyone that knows Playstation Brasil has gone throught this kind of stuff several times (specially during the PS3 days), but then again, we have never ever been a priority region to them.

Doing it on a worldwide scale on the very most criticized action I have ever seen a game company make is really just mindblowing, disbelief is the right word to describe how I see it as well. Can't see a single angle on how that makes sense for them.
