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)_/¯

death throes

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

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.

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.

Owned a ps5 and Xbox series x.

Sold both. Don’t miss them. Won’t miss them

Don’t play station!

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 🤷‍♂️

Lol, sure. Voluntarily alienate an ever-growing chunk of your customers. See how that goes for ya.

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

Enjoy going from going to getting some of my money to none of it, Sony.

Wasn’t planning on buying anything with sony’s name on it anyway, so whatever.

They never should have.

I’m just starting to play Subnautica. That’s how bad my backlog is. I think I will be fine.
