Developer Eat Pant Games initially posted on X seeming excited about 400 comments, then added \u0026#39;Ah... oh no\u0026#39; upon realizing the nature of the comments. The studio, a two-person team, issued a measured response: \u0026#39;We would love a physical version of Teeto! But we are a small team... we first need to see how digital sales go.\u0026#39; Meanwhile, Steam user reviews remain positive and unaffected by the console controversy. Teeto is also available on PC, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The PS5 launch trailer for indie game Teeto is flooded with hundreds of comments protesting Sony's disc abolition.
