@harlequinyosei@juuxiie2@ItsCass9 Is it more affordable? I'm genuinely asking, I don't have a horse in this race. Yes the console itself is cheaper but it's also significantly less powerful, and their first party games are more expensive pretty much across the board. Keeping physical alive is their main plus atm
@harlequinyosei@juuxiie2@ItsCass9 If production costs of physical games were the reason alone then their digital games wouldn't have also seen a price bump. I completely get being partial to one platform over another but let's not pretend that Nintendo is in any way pro consumer.
@SeaCritDev@FableFox@Mr_Rebs_ ? That's not at all what I'm saying, I couldn't care less how anyone identifies politically. Me saying "this sounds like a Trump tweet" says nothing about where I lean
@FableFox@Mr_Rebs_ It's not a tweet, it's a LinkedIn post, the standards are a bit different. Obviously this fucking sucks and I can't imagine how he's feeling, not trying to make light of that at all
@thecoldmage@NintendoEurope It could, but it won't. Having replaceable batteries be readily available is something that's applicable to all electronics, sadly I don't think the EU places a lot of stock in video games specifically.
@zubie7a@CrapCody@ARAARASHINIGAMI Oh 100%, I'm not defending Sony in any way lol. I hope they keep getting clowned on about this, especially since they're doing it so soon after revoking access to hundreds of purchased movies
@JCharlieB85@ARAARASHINIGAMI I disagree with this, the Series X is a fantastic machine and first party Xbox releases have been good to great for a few years now. There's just very little faith in the Xbox brand because of studio closures, and no momentum because of how they fucked up the last gen colossally
@CrapCody@ARAARASHINIGAMI It doesn't help that the Xbox One was disastrous for the first half of its lifespan, that's a huge reason why Sony had so much momentum going into this gen. I genuinely fear for the next console generation
@Phantom53516962@AvalancheJared Then you shouldn't be buying the game at all lmao. Also idk how it is for Playstation, but on Xbox even if you pre-order something months in advance you only get charged once the actual game files become available (usually a week before launch)
@Spyk3O@spikesguides@DiscussingFilm Objectively untrue, and you should be against this even if you don't personly buy physical games. Your options for where to buy Playstation games have just been reduced from several hundred (used, local retailers, Amazon etc) to just one.
@spartan_vault@HaloBoxStudios The blind skull functions as it always has, the HUD controls mentioned are specifically for Machinima mode, I doubt you can just toggle them off for regular gameplay
