Re: PS Plus Value Called into Question as Xbox Slashes Game Pass Price

@Katiecooh I know Kinguin well enough. For starters, no, the pre-loaded accounts and games do not extend your own account. Hard pass on pre-loaded accounts with game pass and accounts pre-loaded with a game. They can take the account back from you at ANY given time and leave you with nothing. I'll stick with keys to top up my own account and keys to put the games on my own account.

@Fearful-Octopus Do you ever buy games digitally? From Steam or elsewhere? Only people who have an issue with a company checking to see if you actually own something are pirates and theives. Let me guess, if it was YOUR property people were stealing, you'd be perfectly fine with it and just continue to let people steal from you indefinitely. You'd not try to prevent it in any way shape or form. Right? 😂

@Skinny-Pete Of course I will defend something when others, like yourself, are blowing things way out of proportion. Why wouldn't a person want to correct all of the misinformation about this? Criticize me for defending the truths all you'd like. I'm not the one that has been spreading misinformation. Kinda weird to act like I've been a bad actor in all of this.

@11001100110zero My complaints are absolutely accurate. If they weren't, people would be switching to Linux in troves, which they aren't. And there are legit reasons why. Despite the things you said it's still FAR less user friendly and requires cli often enough for simple things. As far as customization goes, Rainmeter blows Conky out of the water. And "Windows allows pretty much anything to do whatever it wants, and run whenever it wants." is not accurate whatsoever.

I guess if all a person does is browse the Internet, check their emails, and browse the craptastic app stores Linux is fine. For every day work, Linux makes my productivity crawl. Imo you're hyping Linux to be far better than it is. Hell, can't even use Game Pass/Xbox app on Linux. Broken drivers. 20 steps to do tasks that takes 2 steps on Windows. Etc etc.

@XenonKnight Imo it's ugly with a lack of customization and is quite unintuitive for no reason. I've tried I can't tell you how many different releases/distros over the last practically 15 years. It's not that it's complicated for me to use whatsoever. I got past the Linux learning curve years and years ago, but despite that I still find it incredibly unintuitive in nature and for me personally I can be far more productive in most anything I'm doing on a Windows system vs Linux. I'm not saying it sucks and is garbage. Just that it sucks and is garbage... for me.

@GeminiX53 With the PS stuff everyone been crying "BUT BUT BUT what if t3h SonI3 S3rV3rz go Offl1n3z!!!!!!" Same thing could happen to GOG. What if your drive dies and you don't have a backup of EVERY, SINGLE, game purchased from GOG.... and their site closes down? Why aren't people bringing the same scenario for GOG or Steam?

@Skinny-Pete @JetmanUK @HRdepartment I love the sweet smell of being right. Just like I said, the entire thing was a big, fat, nothing-burger to begin with.

Re: PS5 Confirmed to Be Affected by Game Expiry Issue, Sony Support Sends Mixed Messages on DRM

@LuDaurre What if GOG servers go offline and you can no longer download any of your prior purchases? Hmmm. Didn't think of that did you? The entire "PS5 Confirmed!!!!" thing that the article has been changed is stupid too. The guy removed the CMOS battery to try to force a hypothetical situation. When people started making excuses as to how & why this entire thing could effect them like the lame "But but but my internet could go out for over 30 days!!!!" or "But but but I could be on vacation and...!!!", and those excuses were shown to be near 100% EXTREMELY unlikely to ever happen to anyone, now they're moving on to "But but but!! If your CMOS battery dies!!!!" LMFAO! Do people get this bent out of shape about having to change the battery in their car? Their tv remote? Game controller? PC? Mouse/Keyboard? Clock? Yeah. Put a new battery in, sign in to your account, and problem solved. Just another excuse for something that will never effect anyone that's bitching about it.
