Indie Devs Unfairly Attacked Over Sony Decision to Stop Making Discs
A forum user defends their stance on the gaming industry, specifically regarding the shift away from physical media and the treatment of indie developers. The author emphasizes that gaming is a secondary hobby and advocates for consumer rights in the digital age.
Why it matters
It reflects the ongoing tension between digital-only distribution models and consumer demand for physical ownership in the gaming industry.
@PuppetMaster So, to address everything you stated in chronological order best I can.
I am aware you alone can not bankrupt Sony, nor am I worried if Sony do go bankrupt, it will not impact my life directly if most of the worlds consumer facing businesses cease to exist tomorrow, never mind Sony.
I play games because I enjoy them, I am not remotely concerned if I have to play elsewhere (as I do already sometimes), or never play at all (as I do sometimes take breaks and focus on a lot of other hobbies). As my main hobbies in life are actually music, motorbikes, travel, my allotment and much more. Gaming fills the gaps, it doesn't dictate or emotionally control me.
I am glad you have sympathy for Indie Devs, you would think it's a sign of weakness to admit with how few do, so I think that's great.
