For reference:
Also, this was Sony during the PS4 era:
If you’re going to get expensive hardware and be digital only, might as well go PC while you can. The money you save not having to pay PS Plus to play with friends would add up quick. Not to mention open source, privacy respecting options, no need to be online, modding, more welcoming communities, emulation, etc. If you want a console experience, you can use something like Bazzite or SteamOS.
I guess we’ll see just how much the market can take.
I really wish the games market/industry could just be sustainable and stable.
Like holy crap, they’re always trying to push it and force it to its absolute breaking point for another filthy dollar, and it’s just making everyone miserable.
This is the wonders of capitalism unchecked: They have distilled to a science, the power to make games. Miserable. Wow. What a feat.
Making them professionally isn’t even allowed to be fun anymore, it’s just stress and abject misery and instability to profit some C-suite fart-sniffers.
Playing them is constantly fraught with stupid harebrained get rich schemes and “market fluctuation dynamics” and speculation and fuggin’ GAMBLING.
To the Sonys, the Ubislops, the Electronic Farts out there:
STOP IT. UNLESS YOU’RE MAKING IT BETTER FOR US, LEAVE THE WAY WE PLAY GAMES ALONE. We play games, and sometimes make them, to HELP US ESCAPE YOU!!!
