    Ohh noooo!

    Now my backlog of games that should be shrinking is only going to grow by 10% next year instead of 12% like it could have!

    The tech companies haven’t driven me to the point of utter contempt for consoles like they have for phones, but at the same time I have multiple PCs and more games than I will ever play.

    (*) Sorry Valve i just doomed you, my predictions are always wrong,.

    LOL, I haven’t bought a Sony product since the PSP. Don’t threaten me with a good time, jackass.

    They’ll be seeing none of my money then. Maybe if I ever bother to play them it’ll be for free on an emulator years from now, but honestly, I have a massive backlog of amazing games to play so it might not even be worth the effort. I bought most of their PC releases too. Oh well.

      To me, consoles are a giant waste. Like, you got another fully capable computer that is artificially limited to gaming. This is an e-waste nightmare, all paid from our wallets.

      Could be lovely to have a sort of thin client for couch gaming.

        But to me, a gaming pc is a giant waste, because you spend $2-3000 to play games at a higher res or with extra rtx features, but the actual quality of the game hardly changes from the console version. A simple cheap pc could do most of your pc needs without the gaming function and be significantly cheaper.

        In fact a cheap pc and a console net the same results as a high end gaming pc, but at a cheaper price, imo. So to each his own I guess.

    So just their exclusives which they barely make anymore. I can buy used for the 2.5 games Sony themselves makes per generation now when they aren’t failing to trend chase a whaling game genre.
