Another State of Play presentation was supposed to delight PlayStation owners with new trailers and announcements. However, instead of discussing upcoming hits, viewers of the YouTube and Twitch broadcasts witnessed a massive flash mob of discontent. From the first minutes to the very end of the broadcast, chats were filled with identical messages: "NO DISC NO BUY" and "WE WANT DESTINY 3".
Although Sony's internal statistics show that the vast majority of sales already come from digital format, the strength of the protest indicates a deep rift between the platform holder and a part of its loyal audience. Given the uncompromising stance of the leadership, these acts of digital resistance are likely to remain a serious problem for PlayStation's image for a long time.
