The sad reality is, they don’t want you as an audience, they only want the one willing to pay 70 for 13 year old games. They don’t care if you ever buy another PlayStation product, because they already have plenty of cattle willing to line up for their practices
The gun and ball gamer is what Sony is after, and here’s the truth, they do not care about their first party output, and if there dedication to live service after concords failure tells us anything, it’s that they can’t wait to stop making anything but live service.
One week after the backlash and retards are paying upwards of 70 dollars for a PS3 game. This industry will crash purely because the casuals far outweigh anyone who actually cares.
Right after they get caught removing tons of content from peoples accounts they paid for, dynamic pricing on their store, and moving away from PC? Just means I don’t buy any of their games/products anymore. I expected this out of Microsoft first.

Late high school and all of college I worked at target, and they just openly admitted understaffing gave them bonuses based off saved payroll. They’d have the smallest skeleton crew possible, then get mad when you couldn’t maintain 4-5 sections of the store at the same time.
Chase the live service trend all you want and pass that cost off to your existing consumer base I guess, but as it stands the PlayStation I enjoyed a decade ago is as good as gone, and I’ll probably not even consider a PS6.
I have not turned on my PS5 since DS2 last year, and with Sony no longer willing to sell me games on my preferred platform, they better do something worthwhile to make me care about my PS5, because as it stands I just straight up don’t care lol.
State of Play returns on June 2.

Passed on yotei, passed on saros, have enough to play to care about paying 70 for them, and the fact they’ll never come to PC and go on a steam sale there just means I’ll likely never play them. I am not the intended PS customer anymore and I am fine with that.
I work at an ISP, and large places have better infrastructure but still face outages commonly and the fact is these companies don’t staff in a way that these things can be resolved quickly, much less if you add natural disasters. For PS players sakes, hope it’s reversed.
Stuff like this is only gonna become more common in the console space. I already think console digital games are stupid purely because it’s locked to whatever the frame rate and resolution the game was developed for unless they patch or “remaster” it, but this really adds to it.
Hugely terrible DRM has now been rolled out to all PS4 and PS5 digital games. Every digital game you buy now requires an online check-in every 30 days. If you buy a digital game and don't connect your console to the internet for 30 days, your license will be removed.
I’m not a fan of digital games, but if I have to have them, I’d rather be able to crank the settings up and run them at higher frame rates when I get new hardware, not wait for a patch to unlock or to be resold the game with those features for 10-70 dollars.
All the more reason to never turn DLSS on. This actually looks fucking horrible. Looks like those AI filters you see people put on shit. Whoever pitched this needs to be fired.

It’s pretty clear Sony doesn’t want me as a customer anymore, every state of play I’m staring at the screen like yup that’s a video game, which is fine, just don’t expect me to buy a PS6 when you could’ve sold me the 1 game a year I want from you on PC lol.
Bloomberg: Sony Pulls Back From PlayStation Games on PC
