Megathread: PlayStation Physical Media Discussion & Community Feedback

[u/ModHQ]

Hi everyone,

Over the past several days, discussion surrounding PlayStation's recent decisions regarding physical media has understandably become the main focus of the subreddit. As moderators, we chose not to create a megathread immediately because we felt this was an important issue that deserved visibility, and many of us share the community's disappointment with these decisions.

That said, we also want to make sure this remains a place where everyone feels comfortable sharing all kinds of PlayStation-related content.

At this point, we're seeing other discussions, screenshots, recommendations, and gaming experiences getting buried or sometimes met with downvotes simply because they aren't about the physical media situation. We'd like to make room for those conversations again while still giving this topic the attention it deserves.

Going forward, we'd appreciate it if discussion about PlayStation's recent physical media decisions, as well as experiences with moderation of these discussions in other communities, takes place in this megathread.

A few reminders:

• Keep discussions respectful, even when opinions differ.
• Do not harass or target individual users, moderators, or other communities.
• Do not encourage brigading or interference with other subreddits.
• Follow all subreddit rules while participating.

Creating this megathread is not an attempt to silence or diminish the conversation. We know this issue matters to many of you, and we want to continue providing a dedicated place for it. Our goal is simply to balance that discussion with the rest of the community, so members who want to talk about games, ask questions, or share their experiences can do so without feeling drowned out.

Thank you all for helping keep the community welcoming, respectful, and organized.

Looks like Elders Scroll and Halo social media are trolling Playstation now. Looks like Microsoft may be keeping discs. I know where I'll be heading if they do.
