@UltimateOtaku91 no this is in theory a site that specializes in playstation news. I have a PS console but i am definitely not a “fan”. I wont bash on competitors or defend Sony the massive corporation. Looks like you are the one triggered that this isn't an echo chamber.
Is it too much to ask for a site where we get informed on our favorite console without being in an echo chamber? Does everyone really need that much validation of their choices? “Xbots” , “gamepass bad, ps+ good” etc. Even sadder because apparently the majority of the readers here are middle aged people as shown in the PS1 poll.
@Briarback i dont think he is a fanboy at all. Its all about engagement/revenue. And an article on a service that has nothing to do with playstation drives up engagement every time. People who get rage baited vs fanboys who pile on the GP hate.
They have teams of analysts figuring out how to maximize profit down to the last dollar. Makes sense from a business standpoint. But trying to defend their practices as a consumer is nonsensical. Sony are not the good guys and “for the players” is just a meme.
These political comments are funny as hell. Everyone is blaming the tariffs but no one is concerned about how the mega corporation with record profits year after year decides to “pass them on to the consumer”.
@AdamNovice yeah thank god we have to buy our games. The fact that some people value Sony’s financial wellbeing over their own pockets never ceases to amaze.
Xbox is now so far behind in the console wars that this pivot makes sense. Depends if they manage to combine the flexibility of PC with the comfort and fun of couch gaming. As for Sony i expect them to create more quality single player blockbusters. If that output remains low because of their golden goose obsession with live services, i ll just stick to PC.
I am a consumer and as such i find the subscription services to be a pretty good deal for me. As for less games being made, that is what the industry needs, as it is pretty obvious supply is larger than demand.
@crackeastwood there’s fans and then there’s lunatics. Guess which one you are. You think Sony gives an F about you being here defending their honor 😂.
Thats just how these corporations act. When they are on top and having record profits they give 0 f’s about consumers. When they struggle against the competition they try to present a consumer friendly profile.
Idk if he is beloved but i only found out about him from the myriad of articles in here about every little thing he says in his interviews. Personally i am more interested in games than corporate.
I am so excited for the “unfathomable profits” of my favorite corporation. And may i suggest further increases in the prices of games and hardware? That way the profits could become even more unfathomable. Oh and how about a strategic restructure as well? I am so excited it almost feels like im sharing in these unfathomable profits.
Some people get way too attached to their favorite forms of entertainment. Also regarding the shaved head, she has hair in the photo with her former crew in the trailer. So i assume its something symbolic.
@L_Bosch its exactly your type of rigid thinking and constant labeling that has tipped the scales in favor of the current US government. People can enjoy something and still have a preference in that matter without being homophobes or bigots. You dont think the lgbt community shows a preference towards entertainment with lgbt characters? Or that they fanfic ship same sex relationships all the time?
@nhSnork i dont think they are actually interested in going to court as that would take a lot of time and resources and by then the fate of the game will be sealed either way. The threat of going to court however against people or publications with reach, would yield a lot more immediate results. And for that it probably doesnt matter much whether they can win the case or not. Of course this is all speculation.
I wonder what is the lawyers definition of “slightest problems”. If they go after people who threaten devs, i am with them. But if they use this as an excuse to go after fair or even unfair criticism of the game, then screw them.
