You’re missing something

They will keep selling plastic boxes without discs, so there is 0 pro

They are right. Xbox absolutely shit the bed this generation. I think it’s possible they’ll not make a next gen console

Good timing, Sony putting us plebs into our place

Same view

What the actual fuck

In response to shifting trends in consumer preference, new games will be released on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital formats only.

As consumer preferences and the broader entertainment industry continue to shift away from physical discs to digital, physical game disc production for all new games releasing on PlayStation consoles will be discontinued starting January 2028.  Following this date, new games will be available on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital formats only. This transition has no impact on games that already released, or will be releasing, prior to January 2028 in disc format.

This is a natural direction for Sony Interactive Entertainment to adapt to consumer trends as the general preference for digital media significantly outpaces physical discs. This transition will enable us to align more closely with how most of our community prefers to access and play games today.

We’ll continue to prioritize our resources to drive innovation in how players can access games and provide choices as to where players prefer to purchase new games, whether that’s at retailers or PlayStation Store. We remain committed to delivering a world-class gaming experience to our fans and we thank you for your continued support.

The Xbox strategy playbook:

1. Buy a lot of studios
2. Close them
3. ???
4. Loss

I agree. I hate how legit complaints about the hypercapitalistic hellscape of modern gaming are overshadowed by the constant poop throwing of racist/misogynist idiots

And of course:

I know this was rolled out earlier for some markets. For me on tablet/mobile it has only appeared about a week ago. It is of course useless - not that the original search was working well, but it at least worked

Obviously fake, as what they sell at Pizza Hut does not qualify as pizza

Not in Education, Employment, or Training

Oi, cunt

I have a theory

Yes. It’s not good for reddit’s business if you can easily tell bot accounts, so they introduced this new feature

The problem is the lack of structure.

I organize a lot of workshops involving people from experts to executives, where you always need an introduction round, and I give them a structure to follow. Makes the task it easier, but it’ll also be much more useful for the group, as we’ll focus in the aspects of a person that matter for the context of the workshop.

For a class intro in primary school, it could be:

• name and age
• nickname you’d like others to call you
• favorite subject
• favorite hobby / free time activity

I just made this up, but a teacher could probably come up with something even more fitting.

The point is, always give people structure or guidance, you’ll get much more out of similar introduction rounds.

During a visit, my mother’s and my dog ate some chocolate cake that the wind blew off a table. We notice it in 10-15 mins, vet said just bring them in to induce vomiting. We did that, they got an injection each, and vomited out everything soon.

In practice, vets want to take no risks by calculaing/guessing exact cocoa content, the best is just to have them vomit as soon as you can.
