"console gaming industry" you surely meant to say.

    Sony can eat a dick since the rootkit fiasco and GTA6 is going to suck since none of the OG devs work at Rockstar anymore. Yet I'm spending more money on Steam than ever. Gaming isn't going anywhere.

    no, playstation and rockstar will not destroy the gaming industry. I don't agree with their tactics but lot of people will still play other games. Look at the chart below.

    PlayStation has announced that they will stop producing physical releases, soon, and I believe they've said the PS6 will have no disc drive at all.

    No idea how Rockstar fits in.

    No idea how Rockstar fits in.

    The announcement came shortly after Rockstar announced they won't be making physical copies. It was either pre-planned, or rockstar inspired Sony.

    Soo, how many of them are still around?

    I thought it was just 2 or 3 still active.

    They literally just sent you the list. I count at least 27.

    Pre-planned. Sony doesn’t make this sort of decision on a whim. They announced a staged exit of optical media in 2024, and closed their BR recorder lines in February.

    Next year, Sony will exit home entertainment, handing its TV and media player business to TCL. This would have left Sony Interactive as the last subsidiary still pursuing optical hardware.

    my bet is that this is referencing the tens of Rockstar workers who were fired when about to unionise. happened a few months ago

    You must seriously live under a rock to be a gamer and not at least catch a little wind of it during the whole week.
    No offense, just kind of surprised.

    Main difference is you often have a choice on PC to use another store. Companies that have earned trust reduces impact through consumer friendly policies. Companies like Sony and Nintendo have not shown goodwill, and have been actively hostile.
