I always feel like it's 2004 when I read stuff like this.
Perhaps its because some of us prefer to own the products we purchase and not simply rent them. But hey, to each their own. Fact is, if they are willing to put in the effort to provide a physical release (or allow Limited Run Games to do it for them), I will happily spend my hard earned money on it day one on release. If they don't, I'll wait until it drops or, like Yakuza 5, becomes a PS Plus title.

We should all tweet Gio to thank him

Buddy, there was no choice with Yakuza 5. It was digital or nothing. I'll almost always take physical if I can, but they were never going to do that at the end of the PS3 console life. Reducing around 25% of the cost due to retail (and possibly higher including distribution) would have been a huge reason for Sega to finally bring the game over.
If people purchased the original yakuza games on PS2 the PS3 releases might not have been delayed as much, but we can all make it right by preordering 0, kiwami and 6.
And I'd imagine that if we have a physical version of 0, we'll get them for kiwami and 6.
If they can't put in the effort, even in a limited run, then I say let it die. I certainly won't lose any sleep over it. There are plenty of other publishers/franchises that will happily cater to my needs and will be rewarded for it.I hope your favorite franchises die because of comments like this.
Really, you might as well say "I refuse to support developers".

If small developers like Krillbite and Campo Santo can find a way to release physical copies to those who want them, then surely a studio the size of SEGA can as well. Anyways, enough with that, lets continue talking about Yakuza.
If I'm not mistaken Yakuza 5 was $40 on release and even lower ($34) if you had it pre-ordered. I honestly think that was a good price for a game as big and as content packed as Yakuza 5.Yah I have a preorder for 0 and will do the same for Kiwami and 6 when/if available. As for Yakuza 5, there are plenty of other avenues to cut cost, such as allowing a third party to take on the cost of distribution. Limited Run Games has shown an interest for nearly two years. But I agree, things should be supported, and i will do so an appropriate price for digital.

we're spreading the gospel as best we can, man! the number grows everyday...i told john hardin, we know it's a niche series but there's a lot of room for growth here, i honestly think an action beat-em-up RPG in the vein of River City Ransom, SOR etc has way more appeal here in the west than it's caught so far, hoping to see more love!
well, we got 0's announcement first, and with a physical too! so yeah, while i feel pretty confident 5 only happened with it did with sony's help, all the magic that happened today is painting a great picture for the series out here going forward...we just really have to make sure to capitalize on it!

So what % of the Yakuza games are going to be on PS4 in total?
What notable games are missing?

Still gonna buy them digital but
I'll probably buy them digitally but it's still an amazing news for people who wanted a retail release.
All the people saying they don't want em cause they digital, here ya go.
I wonder if they'll ever bring the US PS2 versions of Yakuza 1+2 to PS4 like their other emulated titles. I'd pick those up for sure.
So does Kiwami feel like 4 or 5 or like the original?
I mean, did they work on gameplay and convenience stuff, or is it just a straight up graphical update?
Not surprising, but yay
Is the plot in Yakuza games actually good? Or is it more about the combat and zany mini games?
