So the group is anything but good. Among other things, this is because many players no longer buy physical games on disk, but rather shop online and simply download the games. Which can be extremely unfavorable under certain circumstances-for example, if there is a PSN failure like last weekend and the PlayStation Network is down.
PSN War Down and Gamestop takes the opportunity to shoot download games bought online
That's what it's about:If you are on Friday evening, for example-Beta wanted to play on the PS5, you had a problem. The PlayStation Network was down and therefore not available to all online functions. No fortnite, no Call of Duty and so on. In the meantime there is a Sony statement and apology:
Gamestop makes fun of:During the disturbances of the PlayStation networks, Gamestop spoke up on Twitter/X and joked that the players would now wish for physical games.

This was exactly what Gamestop stood:To go to a shop and buy a cover with a game disk there. As a rule, this game could not be taken away from any online problems (if we from exceptions like thatForesaw).
But the joke backfires:On the one hand, this is more about the difference between online and offline or between multiplayer and single player than the question of download or disk purchases. After all, can also be acquired online and alreadyDownloaded games played offline without any problemsbecome.
At least if you use your primary account on the PlayStation.If you play over another account, there are quite difficulties if the PSN is offline, because then you can no longer check online that you can really play the titles. This problem does not actually exist if your physical disk games plays.
On the other hand, Gamestop isNot necessarily in the best position to make jokes. The group is miserable, in Germany it is almost no longer existent and all branches are closed. According to many players, this is not necessarily due to the fact that no more physical games are bought, but the Gamestop sales strategy.
Accordingly, the online trial attempt is more likely to be showered by the community with mockery and malice. Many reactions are very negative and, among other things, relate that there was only one apple and an egg when buying at Gamestop for all the physical games.
How do you feel about PSN failure and the eternal question of physical versus digital purchases of games?
