Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS5 Pro?

My birthday is in January, so i might treat myself. I'm not really fussed honestly. The only real reason to have one today is to be able to SAY that I have one. As long as I upgrade in time for Ghost of Yotai I'm fine.

Re: PS5, PC Shooter Concord Dead on Arrival, Is Being Taken Offline This Week as Dev 'Explores Options'

This was just, not what people want from Sony. People have been pushing back against their new focus on live service games since it was announced. Honestly, if Concord had been announced and released outside of that, and been free-to-play, it probably would have done better. Not necessarily a hit, but more than the disaster it is now. There was a tone deafness to this whole thing, and hopefully Sony learned something here.

Re: Xbox Planning to Release the 'Majority' of Its Exclusives on PS5

Ok everyone, I know some of us have a console warrior mindset, and you might be like "yaay we win!!" But...we do not win. This is in fact, pretty terrible news if it's true.
Sony has been great overall, I would argue that their run may be better than even Nintendo's. But one problem they have had over the years is this: whenever they feel like they're running unopposed, they become absolute JERKS. with Microsoft officially out of the way, you can get ready for PS6 at $600-$650 MINIMUM, another game price hike, DRM left and right (yep same thing they made fun of Microsoft for, they would ABSOLUTELY do if they could). Basically with no competition, Sony will feel like they can do whatever they want. Microsoft was never really great competition for Sony, but they are rich enough and pesky enough that Sony has had to at least pretend to give a crap about their customers. No matter how big of a Sony fan you are, you should probably pray that Microsoft sticks around.

Re: Sony: Acquisition of Bungie Represents a Major Step Forward in Becoming More Multiplatform

@Apfelschteiner by the time the console actually MAKES money, the company is mostly recouping the money they lost in the beginning. it is NOT a golden goose. why do you think every company in gaming is trying to get into streaming? if they had their way, they would just sell games. the consoles are necessary for now, yes, but money makers? no, not really. Nintendo goes out of their way to make their consoles as cheap as possible, while almost keeping their first party games at full price for YEARS. why? exactly. the same reason why if you buy a new razor, it's usually less money than a pack of the replacement blades. that's where the money is. we're off track anyway. my POINT is that keeping games tied to one console forever is a dumb, antiquated idea that is partially responsible for game prices increasing, and permanent exclusivity should end. it serves virtually no purpose besides making a small group of fanboys happy lol

i'm all for it. this is literally the ONLY medium where this exclusivity exists, and it doesn't benefit the gamers or the company MAKING the game. you don't think Sony would secretly LOVE to sell Spider-Man games to absolutely everyone? remember they don't really make money off selling consoles; they sell console so they can sell games. i think the future will be this: games will still launch exclusively for whatever platform holder owns the IP, but after a year or so, MOST games will make their way to the larger audience. it would equal more sales, and MAYBE even slow down price increases. as hard as companies try to nickel and dime us, this would be preferable to loot boxes any day.
