Another thought on this - storage space (ie - SSDs) have increased so sharply in price that storing digital games is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive. Discs are DIRT CHEAP to produce - so even if you have to install them, you have a physical, cheap solution right there.
I guess that's that then, huh? The end of buying games for PlayStation for me - at least, for the most part. I guess I'll still play some games from time to time but talk about destroying interest in a platform. Only Nintendo remains but for how long?

Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles
In response to shifting trends in consumer preference, new games will be released on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital formats only.

Imagine the sales pitch
Sony PlayStation 6
Digital only, $1000, no more backwards compatibility with your old discs, ultra lengthy cross-gen period, slow first-party release cadence...what a steal!
Is this some sort of challenge? Anger your fanbase as much as possible and see what you can sell?

With the death of physical media, death of game preservation, AI replacing creative processes and causing hardware price hikes, games releasing in beta state but costing more, heavy migration to subscription based models...

It finally happened. I changed my SSD in my Steam Deck and forgot to remove the SD card before opening the shell, and it snapped in half 🫠
I am now a certified Steam Deck user 🏅
Well, least it was an old 128 GB one.

Here’s my feature on Collective Shout, and their attempts to take down Steam and itch.io. I found a conversation where they spoke about exactly how they did it, and detailed their plans going forward, which sounds… very unrelenting.

Food for thought. External QA, animators, voice actors, and musicians deserve to be part of the narrative of game makers.
No, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 wasn't "made" by 30 people
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's credits are a lot bigger than "30 developers".

Last Bethesda rant, then I promise I'll shut up.
This is really the core of my frustrations. Most open world games have linear stories. But Bethesda's inherent mission statement of their games is "go anywhere, do anything, be anyone" and their narrative design runs completely antithetical to that.

Bethesda's narrative design is locked in a pattern of rigid linearity, to the point where they'll break the rules of their own world to enforce it. They're terrified of locking players out of content. But I'm replaying BG3 for the first time and I'm astounded at how much new stuff I've found.

My son works for this company here in the U.K.
It was playing the video game ‘Deus Ex’ that set him on the path to becoming a Biomechanical Engineer.
Sometimes, it’s nice to highlight the good things that video games can do. And also remind myself just how proud of him I am.

Seems the new Death Stranding trailer has brought the 'Kojima is too weird and needs an editor to cut his wackier ideas' crowd.
No, fuck that. He's basically the one guy in the ENTIRE INDUSTRY that gets to be weird at high budgets.
We need more Kojimas. Dozens! Not hammering down the one we have.
