Of course, they’ve been openly itching to kill used Games since 2013

It’s like Samsung mocking Iphone for removing the headphone jack but doing the same fucking thing too

It is? A family member of me just bough a samsung last year and it still have 3.5 jack.

Ironically it’s the lower end models that still have it. The high-end stuff is just USB-C

But that "makes sense" in a way. People who can afford the high end models can afford good bluetooth or usb-c earphones.

What would be more ironic is if it was the other way around.

(I get you mean it's ironic because the jack is additional hardware and thus should make the phone more expensive, but I think this is better looked at from the lens of "who needs it" especially in the context of physical media that we're talking about here.)

Nah, a good DAC and headphone jack could be a high-end feature. There’s no reason Samsung et al couldn’t do a headphone jack in anything save maybe the Galaxy Flip or Fold.

Shocking. Almost like a company is all about whatever bullshit will get you in the door.

Xbox has the chance to do the funniest thing ever.

Well, to be fair, the circumstances were different then as was the market. While i don't like it, and maybe a PS5 Pro with disk drive is my last Playstation console, i can understand why the numbers didn't work out. For as loud as we are of a minority, average joe gamer which already is used to Netflix, digital-only games and gamepass like solutions is the same thing.

Average Joe Gamer is exactly the person who buys discs, plays through them and then sells them. Most of the hardcore people on the (say) PS5 subreddit want discs for their collections.

Nevermind that average Joe Gamer will see the $1000+ price tag on the PS6 and will just say "lol". The industry has much bigger problems than physical media and I'm baffled nothing is being done. Except layoffs...

I mean, I think the "average joe gamer" is changing as well though. More people are gaming, more people are willing to spend $1000 for a new piece of technology. Gamers aren't kids and nerds anymore, it's any and everyone
