@NessunDorma The reason is most people are silly and can only remember that last 6 months!
Everyone is quick the forget this time last year when Astrobot and Death Stranding 2 were about to be released and everyone loved Sony.
But because Sony want to drag these people into the 21st century and go all digital, the forever virgins are upset they wont have plastic boxes to look at.
Small groups of devs (just like the old days) can put out work that still has current gen quality graphics.
People come up with the ideas, and instead of having teams of 1000's of people because 4K games take so long to make, old school dev sizes can go back to making top quality games as they let Gen AI handle the grunt work.
@WhatTheFrog
"nothing is licensed on a permanent basis."
The fact you couldn't name a single digital game on Sony or Nintendo, that is not available to people that bought it, even though digital games are 20 years old now should tell you something about what you think.
"Sure, vinyl is expensive and overpriced. But rockstar is releasing this as a standard cd as well. Basically the equivalent of a standard physical game and a collectors edition."
So for you to then say:
"I never wrote that releasing a cd and a blu ray were the same thing."
Tells me you need to word your answer a lot better.
They both might be shiny discs, but they require different machinery and materials. This is without even factoring the fact that More CD presses exsist than bluray presses, so demand for press runs affects prices.
And I never wrote: “vinyl version” of GTA 6 would cost £130", I have no idea where you got that.

Re: Microsoft Thinks Xbox 'Pioneered' Dual Analogue Controllers
@RoomWithaMoose I didn't say Dualshock 4, I said Dualshock.
Stop being an utter melon. The Dualshock predates Xbox as a brand. Stop being such a fanboy and accept reality.
Re: Microsoft Thinks Xbox 'Pioneered' Dual Analogue Controllers
@RoomWithaMoose What are you talking about?!?!
Sony made the controller first, Xbox copies Microsoft. There is no debate.
Re: Microsoft Thinks Xbox 'Pioneered' Dual Analogue Controllers
@RoomWithaMoose No. The Dualsense is an iteration of what the Dualshock was.

Re: New Call of Duty to Remove 'Appalling' Footage of Real-Life Tragedy
@Flaming_Kaiser I think it should be okay to use world tumbling centre footage now, it was over 25 years ago.
Re: New Call of Duty to Remove 'Appalling' Footage of Real-Life Tragedy
@get2sammyb At what point does this sort of footage become okay?
WW2 footage in games is universally accepted, but people are up in arms over this.
For me 20 years is about the time it becomes okay to use footage.

Re: PS6 Price Tag Facing $1,000+ Nightmare as AI Data Centres Send Component Costs Soaring
The neogaf post also says the bill of goods will fall dramatically once the final design is set.
Which means:
1) The ÂŁ680 memory cost headline is misleading,
2) We are years away from PS6 as the hardware is not even finalised yet

" I can name hundreds of movies that Sony stole from customers due to licensing"
Games are not movies, paramount can't takes games away because games are not licensed in the way same as movies.
This shows your total lack of understanding as all PSN games are licensed on a permanent basis.
"There are already a few examples of games you can’t even purchase anymore because of licensing"
This has nothing to do with digital games, this happened with cartridges too as press runs were told to stop after liecencing rights ran out.

Re: GTA 6: The Album Announced, Pre-Orders Available Now
@WhatTheFrog Name one game that stopped working because the licence ran out (not online servers shutting).
As far as I see it, its a non argument; its no different to "I wont buy disc games in case they break."
Re: GTA 6: The Album Announced, Pre-Orders Available Now
@Oxy Releasing a CD is not like releasing a triple layer bluray at all.
That's like saying Shower glass is the same as Car window glass.
