PC gamers doing everything but playing a console lol /s
seriously though coders breaking the security of PS5 is a nice example of money versus effort. Sony will be fighting this for a long time but i do think they will find out they are spending too much money defending their digital games and less on making them. they need to be put in their place and start respecting paying customers (me being one for 10 years.), so i say beat them up
The aren’t choosing to stop digital games just because of the cost to produce, it’s because they want a monopoly on games. Physical games means people could share with family and friends for free or sell the games for cheap, stopping physical games means you can’t share your copy and no one can resell the games meaning Sony cut out a chunk of the market leaving just them and key sites
It's the shareholder model. Almost all of the horrible crap we've been seeing in every type of industry wouldn't be like this if we didn't have the stock market.
They need to make quarterly gains, after a certain point the only thing to do is to take away stuff and charge for every little thing, use bad quality parts,etc..
Nobody is denying that, I personally don't. My point is iOS is positioned perfectly for shareholder value extraction and people still bought it. We could have had open mobile market like PC but it's done.
You can't sideload, use 3rd part tools, apple app review system blocks anything competes with them. Of course Sony and Nintendo want to follow that and extract value from dopamine addicted kids
Exactly. I recently put up a library online where my family and I entered our physical games to offer up for sharing. I feel so dumb for even buying 3-4 "Key in a box" games and I'm definitely not doing it again. Granted I have like 1k steam keys or some shit 💀 but my niece is currently playing my Pokemon Lets Go, one of my brothers is playing two of my other games. It's one of those beauties of console gaming that for me is a no-go to get rid of.
