Fans were wondering when the PlayStation X account would start posting again after its July 1 announcement that Sony would be ditching game discs in 2028. The answer is today, July 7, almost exactly six days later. The console maker shared a short video promoting its new wireless arcade fight stick. It did not go well. “Wireless fightstick? More like spineless corpo,” responded the gaming preservation advocate account, Does it Play.
Sony has been getting bullied across all of its social media accounts, including the ones that have nothing to do with gaming, ever since it announced it would end physical media for its consoles beginning in 2026. This means the PlayStation 6 will be the company’s first machine to be digital-only, a move that has pissed off a lot of people, even ones who don’t normally chime in on the latest gaming controversy.
no way THIS is the first tweet PlayStation puts out after 6 days 💀💀💀 https://t.co/8lthN32EU2

Wireless fightstick? More like spineless corpo. Feel sorry for everyone involved in that project. They are the sacrificial lamb for the next tsunami of criticism towards you, Sony. All we care about is that you reverse the decision to strip everyone of ownership over their games.
