A petition urging Sony not to discontinue physical PlayStation game discs has garnered over 220,000 signatures, reflecting a strong community desire to preserve the option for purchasing and owning physical copies of games. This comes amidst industry shifts towards digital distribution. The petition highlights concerns over game ownership, resale, and accessibility without internet.
The Steam Controller sold out immediately after its May 4th launch, with resellers exploiting the demand on eBay. To manage future purchases and curb resale activities, Valve is introducing a reservation queue starting May 8th. Gamers can join the queue, with one controller per customer and a 72-hour purchase window after notification.
