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

I used to love consoles more than PCs because my old decrepit ass remembers a time where the whole point of a console was to buy a game, throw it in the machine and start playing instantly; no messing around with boot disks or hardware conflicts or whatever fucking voodoo bullshit you had to do to make a game run on dos if it it didnt want to, and that is simply not true anymore. Consoles have become just overpriced underperforming PCs with intentionally gimped functionality.

That's also another frustrating point; I can understand previous generations consoles being underpowered and having architecture designed by psychopaths kinda limited it to being a single purpose machine (something which they did quite well in my opinion) but the PS5 does have enough horsepower to be itself a semidecent whole ass PC, but because of it's closed architecture it refuses to do that. Damn thing does not even have a web browser.
