so, you guys know how sony just dropped the bombshell that they're ditching physical discs for playstation games starting in 2028? yeah, that didn't go over well with fans, and now they're trying to change the subject by announcing some new hardware - specifically, the flexstrike wireless fight stick.

i mean, under normal circumstances, a new fight stick would be kinda cool, right? but considering the whole disc debacle, it just feels like sony's trying to distract us from the fact that they're killing off physical games. and honestly, it's not really working - fans are still fuming about the whole thing, and the responses to the announcement have been pretty salty. some people are even being straight up ridiculous, but you can't really blame them, given how much love we have for our physical game collections.
