I'm willing to take a fat loss on memory if it means I'm leaving a predatory ecosystem.
also true on the gold subscription, ps plus is also going up and I'm not willing to tolerate it more
Your gonna find out it’s just as predatory.
Tell me about how you upgrade your console's hardware to make it last another five years. Tell me about how you installed an open source operating system to do whatever you want with your console.
Probably referring to the ecosystem. Most game-launchers and stores on PC (except GOG) constantly do the same kind of license checks we're currently dragging Sony for before letting us launch games, we kinda just don't feel it because our PCs are online most of the time.
I’ll spend half the money buying a new PlayStation 6 ;)
2 things:
You have no idea how much a PS6 is going to cost. RAM and storage prices also have an effect on console prices
They were talking about upgrading individual components incrementally. Something that is easy and far less expensive that upgrading the whole machine. Consoles don't have that option
Consoles are still cheaper.
Can’t pirate games though, so… maybe not cheaper in the long run.
