PlayStation is reportedly sending a lengthy survey to game developers with a question about how they sell physical games after their decision to stop producing physical game discs prompted intense backlash.

    And while you’re at it, open up the OS so it’s more than just a game console. And it would be nice if it had interchangeable parts so we could customize the hardware.

    Wait a minute…

        Magic 8-ball, when will PC prices be affordable?

        “Ask again later”

        Dammit, I think my magic 8-ball is busted. Whenever I ask about PC prices, it just keeps saying THAT!!!

        …except later never comes.

          Unless there’s a massive bubble pop, not for 5+ years. Thanks to all the long term agreements!

      They do that. They still sell PCs, as far as I know. Consoles are subsidized because you have to buy from them.

      Those PCs just don’t run PlayStation games (unless they have a PC version).

      I always felt like if you bought a PC, you should be able to buy a license to play Xbox and/or PlayStation games on it. Just have to pay the piper. Sadly it didn’t work like that. They all make money if you buy multiple machines, so they will push you in that direction if you want more diversity in your gaming.
