Oh no…
Please. Please don’t make me address my 300 game backlog on Steam.
I’m a PC gamer so I don’t have to deal with console bullshit. Been working out great for me since 1998.
Only 300?
Some of the games in my backlog came out in 1998.
Pff, backlog… I’m rotating between the same 10-15 games for years now.
A $670 buy-in for one single player game? No thanks.
Uh, hard pill to swallow. So all my favorite Playstation games require a Playstation in the future? Like… Eeeeehm, let me check my steam account with almost 700 games… Eeeeehm… Never mind, I found none.
Yeah. I’m just so beyond good without playing games that are locked to console. I kinda thought we were over this tbh, it’s unfortunate that Sony is moving backwards.
I will say that I’m making an exception for GTA6 because, well, it’s GTA, and I’ll be able to sell the phycial copy and console when it releases on PC, it shouldn’t cost too much extra to be able to play at launch.
With GTA5 online they have continuesly been adding more content without asking money for it (or at least, it was that, way back in the day, don’t know for sure about now, but I don’t think it changed). They only have the purchase of ingame currency. So I don’t feel ripped off with an empty bug simulator which requires a shit load of extra payments to get what I expected in the base game. So yeah, I’m buying that as well. That studio has been consistent with proper story lines and well made games, they deserve my money. Same with Larian Studio. Same as many indie game devs. If I get value for money, I’m happy to pay for it. If I pirate a game and I spend enough time playing it, I’ll buy it. Unless it consists mostly of DLC’s. If a company tries to rip me off, I’ll pirate their shit without guilt.

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
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.
I’m just starting to play Subnautica. That’s how bad my backlog is. I think I will be fine.
Don’t buy second one, it has slavery EULA
I was actually going to, pls give a rundown of the eula
You can’t lawsuit them, everything you record in game their property, you can’t use vpn, you can’t share “bad” game content, can’t mod it… And etc
Thank you for the explanation!
Isn’t that from the publisher that asked AI how to about paying the developers a bonus?
I literally just started playing Subnautica for the first time last night as well after owning it for about 4 years.
All 5 of their exclusives won’t come to PC? Oh no!
Anyways.
Seriously, emulate bloodbourne and I’m good. Got plenty in the backlog anyways.
Haven’t had a Playstation since the PS2. Tried Bloodbourne for, like, 45 minutes when it was new. Still the only Playstation exclusive I want to play, barring Spiderman. But I can actually get those on PC, so.
When the made me make the decision between still using netflix or running linux on my ps3, sony lost my business
PlayStation is still making games?
Kind of like Epic to be honest. They pay out the nose for exclusive rights, thinking shit today works like it did 20 years ago.
I thought they were making complete bank by getting rid of their exclusives and going the open platform route (which everyone complained about)?
They did so well that Xbox became an irrelevant choice between PC and Playstation.
Plus they were doing delayed PC releases, so I don’t really see how that would affect PS sales since the port would come out much later.
It’s Sony. The various divisions never know what each other is doing and the moment a new executive comes in, they charge everything to make it seem like they’re important.
This is what happens when companies become too comfortable.
Egads! I’ll have to play other games. The horror! The humanity!
Oh, these indie games are actually pretty cool and much better. Maybe supporting passionate devs is better, huh?
PlayStation at this point is like those soldiers you find deep in the woods, trying to fight the war on their own, ignorant to the news that the war ended years ago. still trying to fight the console wars in 2026.
Enjoy going from getting some of my money to none of it, Sony.
