The hatred is overblown I reckon. Sure you don't need to engage in the side content if you don't want to, but card games like Queen's Blood, Chocobo racing, combat arenas add to the experience.
You're sadly likely right. I myself don't play live service games, i don't do microtransactions and my PS5 (got it used) cost me £230 after trading in my PS4.
I thought £500 for the PS5 was a lot at launch. PS6 is likely pushing £1000 so I know there is zero chance I get that.
The sad thing is PS6 is likely to be cheapest at launch too

Re: GTA 6 PS5 File Size Confirmed to Be 212GB, Physical Map Available But Not in Boxed Copies
They are charging $1 for the map because they know millions will buy it.
I don't like it as a consumer but I understand the logic of Strauss Zelnick. Why turn away free money for very little effort

Re: Xbox Polling Players on Whether Fallout, Elder Scrolls, or Even Minecraft Should Go Exclusive

One of the best months ever. I just hope I can beat all these before GTA 6
Re: GTA 6's $100 PS5 Ultimate Edition Is Getting More Pre-Orders Than the Cheaper Version
Will Pre-Order before launch and go for the Ultimate Edition using a gift card that gives a discount.
I would not be surprised in the slightest if GTA 6 makes more than $1Billion within 24 hours of launching.
GTA 5 took 3 days to do that back in 2013

Re: 'PS5 Has Put a Dampener on Gaming': 45% of Enthusiasts 'Seriously Considering' Leaving Sony for PC
Zero chance I get a PS6. There won't be any major exclusives for it for at least 5 years. It will cost $1000+ dollars. Digital only future.
Easy decision to stick with PS5
Re: Poll: Are You Considering Leaving PlayStation for PC?
£1000 on a console is too much for me.
Got every Playstation since the first but spending £1000+ on the PS6 or a PC in general will have me just stick to PS5 for as long as possible.
I don't expect many PS6 exclusives for the first 5 years anyway like this generation did. Heck games still come out for PS4 even now.

Re: 'They Wait for This Storm to Pass': No Chance of Sony Walking Back Its Decision to Kill Discs, Warns Analyst
Vote with your wallet.
Thats the only thing they care about.
Get your games in physical format where you can. Get Sony exclusives 2nd hand physical to prevent as much money as possible going back to Sony.
Don't buy the PS6 at $1000+
Re: Poll: $1,000 and No Disc Drive - Is PS6 Dead on Arrival?
Spending $500 on a console makes me think twice. Spending $1000 is having a laugh.
Zero chance I bother at launch and with no disc drive, now sounds like a good time to switch to PC
Re: PlayStation's Plan to Kill Physical Games Has Spawned Not One But Many Online Petitions
