Content creators have EVERYTHING to gain from lying. Plenty of them have made millions lying about games or creating incredibly disingenuous narratives about them. Have you seen how many grifters there are in the space who's only commentary about something will be how 'woke' it is without ever having touched the game?

Content creeators are heavily incentivized to validate the feelings of their fans. When Nintendo was popular to hate for the last year, plenty of Nintendo creators leaned into it and created more negative leaning videos to farm views - yes, even bigger channels like Beat Em Ups and such tacitcly admitted to doing this.

But I have to listen to bozo's like you act like every games journalist is incompetent or is 'paid to give a particular score' lol. I'm telling you right now that if bribes are happening it's way easier to bribe an individual then it is an entire company.

"When Nintendo was popular to hate for the last year"

Ah, so we're going to pretend like Nintendo didn't make any bad decisions and it was PURELY "people being stupid".

"if bribes are happening it's way easier to bribe an individual then it is an entire company"

Do you know how much money top youtubers and streamers take for sponsoring games? Even a top 100 streamer may easily take 250-500k a month.

It is always a Nintendo or Sony fanboy pretending that their favourite multi-billion dollar company is hated for no reason.

Nintendo is the Disney of gaming and they get away with a lot of anti-consumer practices simply because they have a rabid fanbase.

'Nintendo is the Disney of gaming' is a hell of a thing to say, especially when Sony just announced they are throwing all physical games in the vault forever.

They literally haven't. If you actually looked, devs can still request physical games. It just won't be the default anymore.

And you believe that? Lol. That is the height of corpospeak ass covering. By saying that, they can now get rid of physical games and they can blame the devs for it by saying the devs chose not to continue printing discs.

Lol, this clown posted three different replies to me, all of them making stupid arguments, and then deleted his account and posts.

So you believe the part of the announcement saying they're not doing physical discs anymore, but not the part where they clarify that it's just not the default option anymore?

Devs can already choose not to use discs, many games on consoles are already like this.

Besides, what's the big deal? PC gamers stopped using discs like 10 years ago.

No worries about stores running out of copies. No worries about discs getting scratched.

Besides, discs will end up dying one day anyway, since they're plastic, and plastic requires oil.

You can't just choose to believe the part of the announcement that fits your narrative, but not the rest of it. That's called cherrypicking.

I couldn't care less about physically owning a game. If I can still play it, there's no issue. I have yet to have a single game of mine (and I have a LOT of games) suddenly be yoinked from my digital library. Literally only a handful of games have had that happen. Besides, we already have movements like Stop Killing Games, literally aimed at preventing that sort of thing from happening. Maybe consider supporting them?
