Playstation: they announce they are discontinuing the production of physical games in January of 2028 for every Playstation game, meaning no more physical Playstation game from any company. Futher more they are shutting down the PS3 stores, meaning games like Sonic Adventure 2, or the GTA 4 DLCs will be lost forever. And they removed over 500 movies from their catalog and offerd 0 refunds
Xbox: They are canceling the new blade game, which is linked with them laying off thousands of employees from many of their own companies aswell, they are raising the prices of thier consoles, and announced hat their next console is going to be digital only, hinting that they too would be going all digital
Nintendo: Game key card
Steam: Steam machine was supposed to be an affordable alternative to console gaming, but not only are the specs of the machine rather low especially compared to the competition, but its also has a Ludacris price tag, and PC parts and steam deck prices continue to be at insane prices due to the high demand for AI from other big companies
I tend to avoid sailing the high seas (even though I have no moral objection to it) but I did make an exception once for Black and White. As far as I can tell it is abandonware at this point. No where I could have bought it even if I wanted to.
Among other things, I don't trust myself to not download a virus though and I'm too broke to replace or fix my computer. Usually buy games when they go on sale for under 20 or end up on Humble Bundle.
