Does anyone have an organised linklist// megathread for petitions?
Lets make it as easy as possible to do as much as possible!

Every person signing this petition is the same person that buys up all the DLC, all the skins, all the cosmetics.
Until people start petitioning with their wallets, this nonsense will continue.

Not one, but many pointless petitions

Online activism 🤦‍♂️if you don’t want company to do [x] then the only effective thing to is to send the according market signal: don’t buy their products.

Rather than organising petitions you should have been buying physical games

Loud minority, ignore them

Well I did ask for something to happen that would overtake all the nonstop GTA6 posts. I guess I got my wish.

isn’t that kind of **worse** than having one that everyone is using which has a higher number?
not that online petitions actually do anything anyways.

I’m a mostly-digital gamer but 25-30% of my gaming is still through physical discs, so I’m pretty disappointed at this decision by Sony. It’s always nice to have more options as a consumer.
With that being said, I also think it’s not like…*that* big of a deal? Maybe it’s just me but I pretty much never replay games unless it’s an all-time favourite. Once I finish a game, I delete it off my drive and will likely never go back to it again. So the concern of losing access isn’t really an issue. I also only buy games I’m planning on playing right away so I don’t have a huge backlog I’m worried about losing access to.
I personally went out and bought a PS5 Pro after the news just for the future! Enjoying digital so far I didn’t realize how fast it was to switch game to game compared to disc
I remember there being petitions to boycott hogwarts legacy and it ended up being the highest sold game of the year

This will all die down and the people crying today will still continue to buy and play games, same as always. They aren’t white knights. They aren’t noble. They seldom make sense in their arguments. Its all fake outrage

I’m curious why people are assuming that people signing the petition, useful or not, aren’t buying physical games already? Confused where that correlation or lack thereof(?) is coming from.
Should they buy more copies of the physical games they already own?

Lmao this is so fricking hilarious to witness, meltdowns over something that has been coming for decades. Imagine wanting a company to print massive amounts of discs just so a good chunk wont sell. Theyll prevent lots of waste by doing this.

I don’t agree with the outcome here, but how can you petition this? Surely you can’t force companies into making physical discs?

So are they cheaper? No? I’m

People that don’t care about physical will happily pay $70 for a 4 year old digital game on PS store while it’s $20 physical at Walmart or GameStop. Let that sink in. There’s no arguing this issue

“Plan to kill physical games”Â
Good lord.
Where were all these people when Steam “killed” physical games on Steam

I bet many of them were boycotting MW2 few years ago lol

The fact people still sign online petitions like they actually matter is surprising to me.
You might as well grab a clipboard and stand outside Trader Joe’s and get signatures.

All of this is performative as hell:
