    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.

    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.

          You don’t need a high-end PC to get the console experience. Something in the range of $700-800 will run your games no worse than a console, except you’ll also get a fully functional computer that can use its full power for any other tasks.

          Also, you won’t be limited to a certain game library, store, or even the OS. You’ll also be able to run any newer games indefinitely as long as your hardware can handle them. And if it can’t, you can upgrade the GPU/CPU/RAM specifically instead of replacing the whole unit, saving money, granting customization features, and helping the environment.

          So, to each…their 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.
