Welp, guess it's back to playing Brazilian ports of PS titles again, cause I'm not spending $400 on a 6-year-old console. It should be less than $150 used by now.
It really is a shame. I regularly buy their games (without discount) within a month of PC availability, I just can’t help myself. I do so much extra work to minimise spoiler damage just because the game I want to play has a lot of people playing it.
I hate console gaming; or at least the 3 main titans. Microsoft will get my praise on this front alone. Arguably XBOX tanked their brand as a console provider when they did simultaneous PC releases for their 1st party titles, but I adore it. I’ve put in over 15 hours over the last couple of days on Forza Horizon 6.
Meanwhile I had to dance around Spider-Man 2 story/gameplay videos for over a year because I just couldn’t play it. I did this dance because I knew I would play it eventually.
So now if there’s a Sony IP I’m interested in I’ll know to either not bother or just watch story beats on YouTube.
Good job Sony; I’m never going to buy a PS, and now I can't buy your games ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This wouldn't be bad if we were getting deals like we were in 2008/9 with like a PS3 + 3 games and 2 controllers for £350.
Now is £550 for the console alone + £70 per year to play online + £70 for one game + £60 for a new controller + £100 for disc drive? Get all the way fucked.
Me says i wont be buying garbo consoles when theyre trying to lock them down more than they already are couldnt care less about their games, i will watch them on youtube if i have to
PlayStation/Sony still proving they would rather screw players to rip off PlayStation owners. Guess God of War Ragnarok will be my last PS game for a while 🤷♂️
Did I enjoy the Insomniac Spider-Man games on Steam? Yes
Will I buy a playstation to play future installments? No, I'll just go watch a letsplay or story summary on youtube if you dont want my money
Lol, sure. Voluntarily alienate an ever-growing chunk of your customers. See how that goes for ya.
death throes
Owned a ps5 and Xbox series x.
Sold both. Don't miss them. Won't miss them
Don't play station!
Oh no....
Please. Please don't make me address my 300 game backlog on Steam.
I'm a PC gamer so I don't have to deal with console bullshit. Been working out great for me since 1998.
Pff, backlog... I'm rotating between the same 10-15 games for years now.
Only 300?
Some of the games in my backlog came out in 1998.
A $670 buy-in for one single player game? No thanks.
Enjoy going from getting some of my money to none of it, Sony.
I'm just starting to play Subnautica. That's how bad my backlog is. I think I will be fine.
I literally just started playing Subnautica for the first time last night as well after owning it for about 4 years.
Don't buy second one, it has slavery EULA
I was actually going to, pls give a rundown of the eula
You can't lawsuit them, everything you record in game their property, you can't use vpn, you can't share "bad" game content, can't mod it... And etc
Thank you for the explanation!
Isn't that from the publisher that asked AI how to about paying the developers a bonus?
I thought they were making complete bank by getting rid of their exclusives and going the open platform route (which everyone complained about)?
They did so well that Xbox became an irrelevant choice between PC and Playstation.
Plus they were doing delayed PC releases, so I don't really see how that would affect PS sales since the port would come out much later.
It's Sony. The various divisions never know what each other is doing and the moment a new executive comes in, they charge everything to make it seem like they're important.
Wasn't planning on buying anything with sony's name on it anyway, so whatever.
Uh, hard pill to swallow. So all my favorite Playstation games require a Playstation in the future? Like.... Eeeeehm, let me check my steam account with almost 700 games... Eeeeehm... Never mind, I found none.
Egads! I'll have to play other games. The horror! The humanity!
Oh, these indie games are actually pretty cool and much better. Maybe supporting passionate devs is better, huh?
Oh no, I'm so sad I won't be able to play their diverse library of third person action adventure games with linear narrative and light stealth and RPG elements!
PlayStation at this point is like those soldiers you find deep in the woods, trying to fight the war on their own, ignorant to the news that the war ended years ago. still trying to fight the console wars in 2026.
Oh well, still not buying a PS.
Sony: but line go up
(line turns out to be steam deck sales numbers)
Sony: not like that
oh no...wait didnt they say this last time?
That’s a bold move, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for them.
Tap for spoiler
Valve has made the console model irrelevant. This is Sony officially giving up on the gaming market.
And going forward, Sony won't get my money
This is what happens when companies become too comfortable.
Probably not a lot of point while PC hardware costs this much.
I guess bringing it to PC several years late at full price isn't doing much for them either.
It may work for Rockstar, but that's about it.
I can almost guarantee you that dude has a board or shareholders or whatever, breathing down his neck, and his yearly bonus is depending on the number of units sold. So he will canibalize the whole system with a complete disregard for the long term effects, so long as the magic number goes up in the short term and he can cash in his bonus.
That's funny because I'm not coming to PlayStation.
I guess they just sell less then.
They will come crawling back after the current moron in charge gets fired. Until then, its like 4 games.
Fired? You mean given progressively larger bonuses until he’s poached by a completely different moronic public company just to repeat the same cycle until he dies happy, healthy, and wealthy beyond measure?
