PlayStation Cuts Discs | GTA 6's Full Social Network | Gamified 166

Is the market right to torch AI games, or is this punishing the people doing it well?


Physical game discs die January 2028. Big deal, little deal, or no deal - for ownership, the used-game market, preservation, and the players who still care?


What's the word on the average gamer being 37, not 17 - does the industry's picture of its own audience need to change, and does it actually change what you build or how you sell it?


GTA 6 is building a full social network inside the game, and it is more than set dressing - it changes how you find content. Is the in-game social feed a real shift that spreads to Roblox, Fortnite, and the rest, or a gimmick that fades after the novelty?


Meccha Chameleon - Over or under 20 million copies before year end - and is this a model studios can actually copy, or lightning in a bottle?
