Facing criticism over a shift to digital games, Sony has made an overture to discontented supporters. Gamers threatening to cancel subscriptions may receive a PlayStation Plus price cut. Some PS Plus Extra and Premium members have secured 3-12 months of service at steep discounts.

Problem with this is they are already stealing from us, calling our purchases "liscences" and now they are stealing from us physically, nobody wants anything to do with Sony anymore, because it's doing nothing for us by money grubbing our money away, if there is no trust, there is no reason for anyone to purchase, you fail as merchants, this is the price of your failures

The ones crying over no discs will be like flies on a turd for this discount

[Bobberson]

How about make physical games,, or goodbye sony.

You need a subscription to save your game?

I've been with PSN since buying my first console a PS3 on launch day, to now with a PS4 and the announcement of going digital only has killed it for me. Looks like I'll be building a nifty little Steam machine and leaving the PSN family.

You need a subscription to save your game?

No, to use cloud saving. Which is Sony storing your saves so you can use them on a different Playstation if you log into it.

Good riddance to Sony. No discs + woke bs + collapsing yen = enjoy.

Ok so take the discount for 3 months and then cancel!

[Carlos heinricho]

Lol, I cancelled months ago over the last shitty thing Sony did

You do realize that none of that is stealing, correct?
Your purchases ARE licenses, it's been that way forever.  Even on Open source/Linux Distributions you agree to licensing.

Do you not realize you have, and continue to have, a choice in the manner of where you put your money?  Nobody is taking it without your consent.  If you're upset at Sony, were you upset at Valve in the early 2000s?

Failure of merchants?  You and a very, very small group of gamers will continue to buy games digitally, and then complain online about it.  This is a failure of merchants?

Tell us where and how you will play games/buy software moving forward?
