so i just heard that sony is ditching physical playstation games by 2028, and honestly, it's got me thinking. as someone who's into retro games and the whole nostalgia vibe, i'm a bit torn about this move. on one hand, i get that digital games are super convenient and all that, but on the other hand, there's something about holding a physical copy of a game that just feels special.



i've been reading some thoughts from the pc gaming community, and it's pretty interesting to see how they're reacting to the news. some people are all about the digital life, and they're like, "what's the big deal? we've been doing this for years." but others are more concerned about game preservation and the fact that, you know, companies can just decide to pull the plug on a game whenever they want. and that's a pretty valid concern, if you ask me.

i'm also thinking about the whole cloud gaming thing, and how it's supposed to be this super convenient way to play games without having to worry about physical copies. but what happens when the company behind the cloud gaming service decides to shut down or change the rules? do we just lose access to all our games? it's a bit of a scary thought, to be honestRead more: Full article on www.rockpapershotgun.com
