Holy shit it’s real.
>>737648378I didn't buy a ps4 or a ps5 for a reason anon
>>737648378so? just log in to your wifi
>>737648378It took them HOW long to catch up with Steam?
>>737648430>so? just log in to your wifi
>>737648378So what happened to sony anyways? Did they get bodysnatched by their Molloch worshiping north american branch?
>>737648378surely you mean that the license gets temporarily disabled until you log in again?
on ALL 5 games?
I haven't turned on my ps5 in 4 months are all my digitals gone?
It was nice knowing you Sony, not that you basically weren't dead to me since 2019 but it's a "point of no return" situation now.
If you have a PS4 and never play online, just jailbreak it already. Downgrade it and keep it offline.
>>737648775No. "removed" is a fearmongering word to use. It's exactly what the Switch does already. If 30 days pass, and you didn't check, it needs to refresh the license before you can boot it, so it has to do the online check. That way, you can no longer keep your PS4/PS5 offline and expect to play anything on it.So for you, you just switch it on in 4 months and it checks if you have those licenses, but has to do that before you can play.
>Fortunately, we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity, it's called Xbox 360, I mean Playstation 3
PHYSICAL WINS AGAIN
>>737648378already has been debunked, tendie troon
How come everybody in the world hates DRM yet DRM keeps getting more intrusive every year, over the span of decades?
>>737648956Troon debunk don't count
>>737648956it was rebunked
>>737648775no, op is just shitposting because it's already been confirmed as sony fucking up something visually on their end.https://xcancel.com/i/status/2048023064193966588
>>737649045>does it trans
>>737648378Disgusting anti-costumer company
>>737648956>brings up nintendo out of nowhere Rent free
>>737649004Epstein island goers still at the head of every government and investment firm.
>>737648743yes it's basically the same as how steam offline worksstill gay tho
>>737648378OI, YOU GOT A LOICENSE FOR THEM THERE GAMES?
>>737648956Where? How? When?
>Consoles have been actively getting greedier and more draconian for well over a decade>Retards still act surprised when the shittier thing keeps getting worseIf you didn't jump ship after the PS4 era when it was clear they were just becoming shitty walled garden PC's you deserve no sympathy
>>737649045>hahah we accidentally set up a system which shows locks you out of a game after 30 days>whoops, its in multiple languages>oh dang, it's fully functional>this is totally just a bug and only visual and totally wasn't part of the update a few days ago where the only patch notes are "added emotes"
IM GOING TO DEBOOOONK
>>737649045>yeah we fucked up>but we haven't fixed it
>>737648430Based snoy.
>>737649301>>hahah we accidentally set up a system which shows locks you out of a game after 30 daysIt's called PS+. NSO and Game Pass do the same thing.
>>737649420Learn to read dipshit, the game he tested it with isn't on PS+.You're being fucked and blindly defending it.
>>737648378But why, though? Is it actually possible to pirate games on PS4, let alone the PS5? Isn't the console itself DRM enough?
>>737649473Are you actually retarded? The system exists because it's used for PS+, it's being shown on games where it shouldn't. There's a billion other things you can rightfully attack Sony over instead of having to cling to random bug.
>>737649420The mental hoops that sony cultists will go through for brand loyalty is ridiculous. Xbox was reviled and destroyed for this exact same thing. I guess sony faggots just really need their bald asexual lesbian fighting Christians in space game or their black lives matter spiderman.
>>737649663Then, if the game is completely dependent of PS+ and its purely visual. Why isn't the user in my previous image able to play the game?
>>737648378thank God for emulation and piracy to preserve games
snoys are worthless wretches who will do and say anything to defend their friend sony
>>737648378you vill own nothing
>>737648378zased & get cucked
>>737649301>the clock depends on your fucking cmos batteryhilariously easy to break then, just rig the system clock to never advance beyond 30 days
>>737649797Maybe link to the actual tweet if you want me to see the images in it.
>>737648378Fun fact this has been in their system since the PS3.VITA. it was found out by a bug and snoy quietly removed it. Now its back again to see if people will let it pass or not.You will own nothing and be happy.
>>737649912Here you gohttps://x.com/desgamesyt/status/2048050660336341198?s=20
Based enshittification.
>>737648956tendies and snoys deserve each other
>>737648419can I get tomorrow's lottery numbers please, all-seeing one?
>>737649940>if it will pass or notit will pass because sony cultists will guzzle down any pigshit with a sony logo on it
>>737649940Digital renters get what they fucking deserve.
>snoys laugh at switch 2 game key cards for almost a year>this shit happens>"B-Bro just use your wifi!"Why are snoys like this?
>>737650048You don't need to by psychic to see a $60 pricetag for PSN+ is too much money.
>>737650116how does this shit make game keycards ok?
>>737649992Thank you. Yeah, I can't defend that and I have no idea why that's happening. Seems to be PS4 only judging by the comments, weird as fuck. Since it's PS4 only it's still probably a bug, or else it'd impact PS5fags too.
>>737648378>MS decides to commit to gaming again>PlayStation FUD machine revs up againPathetic.
Did don mattrick get hired at sony?
>>737650181Because you only need internet to install the game on your switch 2 while playstation requires online check-in every once in a while or they'll disable your game
>>737650579sony has always just done whatever shit xbox tried, they just waited a month after xbox announced it then did it quietly while having their media shills spin up damage control to say its good when sony does it
>>737650239>I can't defend thatNTA, but I can.The reasoning is extremely simple: Sonytards deserve this.I won't elaborate.Everyone with a brain is fully aware they're at the bottom of the barrel along the Nintentoddlers after all.
>>737650296You have to remember that sony was going to do the exact same anti consumer practices of the Xbone and only 'reversed' on them after seeing how badly Microsoft got dragged at E3.It's still amazing how everyone heralded Sony for that when they were just as bad.
>leave home for 30+ days>come back >all digital games gone
>>737650048>being able to avoid scams like consoleshit is akin to winning the lotteryI can only imagine what kind of slop you eat
>>737651110>You have to remember that sony was going to do the exact same anti consumer practices of the Xbone and only 'reversed' on them after seeing how badly Microsoft got dragged at E3.>It's still amazing how everyone heralded Sony for that when they were just as bad.Still managed to sneak in making PS Plus obligatory to play games online though, which was still the thing they cared the most about. When Microsoft was buying Activision we found out just how much of Sony's bottom line comes from normalfags just buying CoD and PS plus every year, it's insane
>>737649004Because it's fun to force the cattle to eat shit. Never forget that your lives belong to the rich, powerful, sadistic sociopaths who run the world. We hate you for existing and we want you to suffer.
>>737651690They worked hard and deserve that wealth.
>>737651295>in a coma>1-2 months later you wake up>it's all gone, your entire digital vidya collection..
>>737651773We will torture the entire world to death for no reason except "Because." Not "Because it's fun," not "Because we can," just "Because." We are destined to sacrifice the human race on the altar of pointless evil.
>>737649045>receives backlash>temporarily rollback>slowly reintroduce it laterEVERY SINGLE TIMEAnd you faggots fall for it every single time
>>737651829ok troonoid
>>737651861Me feel gooooood when me buuuuuurn da aaaaants. Ghee hee hee hee.
>>737648378kek, snoys keep losing
>>737649045>anonymous insiderThat's not real confirmation. That's just some snoy coping
>>737652081consolefags lose by virtue of their low iq and brown skin, but snoys still mog tendies since they can at least play (shit versions) of the only relevant games (third parties)
>>737648378>retroactive DRMAre they even legally allowed to do this? If you bought a digital PS4 game six years ago under different conditions, why the fuck should it be subjected to this now?
>>737652271>only relevant gameswhich ones?
>>737652217I wonder if its the same "insider" who reported that nintendo was increasing prices, right before they dropped the price of games $10 across the boardor the "insider" who claimed nintendo was reducing production due to low sales, and was so retarded that nintendo themselves commented just to rape bloomburg
>>737648378Nice of the internet to tell me this after the update rolled out and not before so I had a fair chance to disconnect my PS4 from the internet.
>>737649420>NSO and Game Pass do the same thing.They don't, that's why MS and Nintendo haven't run into this "issue".
>>737652308off the top of my head Crimson Desert, Stellar Blade, E33, Rebirth, Nioh 3, and countless others. i would choose any single one of these games over the entire combined Switch and Switch 2 lifetime library of exclusives.
>>737651790>get jailed for posting crying emoji in the EU>get released after a couple of months>all your progress in Crimson Desert is gone
>>737648378what will be your reaction when Steam does this?
>>737652558>get jailed for posting crying emoji in the EUI haven't kept up with EU insanity lately, did this actually happen?
Apparently this wasn't intentional and should get fixed soon
>>737648378Pretty sure that's how Steam offline mode has been operating since forever.
>>737648378you can renew the license at any time for free
Is there anything that actually impacts anyone who is regularly online? You know, like literally anyone here that would ever read or hear about any of this? I'm confident I'm the only one here with a PS5. I see constant threads about shit like this or other things that absolutely ruin something or other about the PS4/5, but literally nothing has ever changed and it's never amounted to anything.
>>737652647>when???Steam is already an always online DRM cancer.
>>737652923PC has been everything console gamers have been rallying against for about 2 decades now, but mustards don't seem to understand this because they don't actually play video games.
>>737652863>wasn't intentionalHow does something like this get "unintentionally" implemented?Did some intern accidentally hit the "anti-consumer DRM" button on the keyboard?
If only pirates could release a month or year later.
>>737653038Seriously. I don't bother with PC games unless they're weird indie shit that doesn't make it to consoles, but every other thing I see is people bitching about how DRM or whatever anti-piracy shit for PC is making things run like shit, while the console versions work perfectly with zero issues because they don't have to try as hard to protect their shit since it's significantly harder to pirate on modern consoles.
>>737648378does that count for "stop killing games"?
>>737653038Valve trash != pc gaming.
>>737653030>what if offline modedumb consolenigger
>>737653003>Is there anything that actually impacts anyone who is regularly online?It doesn't fucking matter. This is just a stepping stone to worse shit down the line. I want to actually own my games and be able to play them without begging Daddy Sony for permission
>>737653185You clearly have no idea how it works, retarded underage valvecuck.
>>737653197>they'll definitely do shit that makes things terrible... later!So nothing. Cool. Enjoy being mad at the concept that something bad might happen eventually, retard.
>>737653197maybe stop buyin-, i mean, rent their products.
ITs funny how every 10 or so posts the snoy flipflops between "ITS FAKE/ITS A MISTAKE SHUT UP EVIL TENDIES" and "B-BUT STEAM/PC DOES IT SO ITS OKAY WHEN SONY DOES!"
>>737652726no.Maybe in the UK, but that's not the EU
>>737648890>dont use your handheld gaming console for 30 days>fly somewhere, bring it of course>get on the plane boot it up>LOL OOPS ALL YOUR GAMES ARE UNPLAYABLE THANKS CONSOLENIGGER consolerfags in 2026 most buckbroken jew worshipping golems award
>>737651790>I'm afraid it's been...31 days.
>>737652453uhh nso def requires you to check in to keep using it bro. the fuck you on about?
>>737653197name one time you have ever actually lost access to a game you bought
This really is bad enough that I am never spending another penny on Sony trash again.The one thing they had going was that buying digital wasn't retarded bullshit.
>>737648570My deck hasn't been connected to the internet in over a year and all my games on it are still playable though.
>>737648378You don't lose the license, you just have to log in again to verify it.
>be a snoy>you don't own your PS5 because its a rental >no disk drive so you must by digital games >all your digital games are rentals
>>737653348your airport wifi? your wifi on the plane? you arent flying coach, are you?
>>737648378
>>737653348>forget to charge device>it won't turn onWOW HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW
>>737653415my entire PS2 library about 3 times, because the PS2 was so prone to the disk drive breaking
Does this mean I have to buy the game again or that they're gonna make me drive my PS5 into town to connect it to the Starbucks Wifi
>>737653530Ah the classic>We made a hugely unpopular move, let's pretend it was an accidentOS
>>737653530The debunk was Debunked >>737649301
>>737649004Gotta take part in the humiliation ritual
>>737653530>"""""insider""""" claims sony ACCIDENTALLY made a complete always online DRM system
This was already a thing on ps4 and ps5. Been the case for years, not sure why its only getting attention now
>>737649004Controlled enshittification to make goyim miserable.
>>737649295This. I already ripped all of the purchases made wayyyy back on the Ps3. The writing was on the wall when sony intentionally refused to let you transfer your library to future consoles. No Dino Crisis, no Front Mission, nothing. All so they can push people into this eternal rental bullshit.
How do you "accidentally" enable a DRM system if it wasn't already in the code?
Someone here tested it out.
>>737653530>Does It Play? >the same nigga who bitched about the switch 2 launch requiring a system update is defending sony right nowlol
>>737654090For all the complaining we do about tendies, never forget that snoys predated them in corporate dicksucking. the conga line of paid online would've stayed on xbox if not for snoys defending it when playstation started doing it.
>>737653451They'll be deleted from your account in 2 more weeks. That's what you get for being a goy.
>>737651564I must have been the only sane person to drop Playstation when they added paid online with PS4. Fuck that, I bought a Wii U instead... and then a PC OFC.
>>737653269Nigga look where we are.A reminder to my fellow zoomasses that this shit started with fucking hoursearmor.Faggots bought that shit for the luls, jewfesta made bank and everything became hyper semitic in about 10 years.Youre the boiling frog, you just dont nogice it it anymore cause youve been boiling for +10 years.
>>737648378I genuinely don’t understand the point of this. I can’t think of how this would benefit Sony in any way and obviously not the player.
>>737649004https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog
>>737653415Literally only if I let my PS+ run out. I don't do Gamepass but if I had that, it'd also only be for that. The only time anyone here has ever had their digital games "taken" from them is when they let their subscriptions expire, if they had one. No one has ever had a digital game "taken" from them ever, since there's nothing that's gonna make a company look worse than taking something from someone that they've paid for.>b-but those live service games that got shut down!Not what we're talking about and those games are for retards that deserve their money taken anyway.
I know people are sick of this topic, but would this be not compliant with SKG if it passes?
>>737654225Ah yes, horse armor DLC and people losing access to their digital video games. The thing we were talking about. I swear none of you people know how to focus on anything, it's ridiculous.
>>737653585The latter.
brown skins streetshitters going fucking mental trying to protect snoy . Pathwtic ( and gay and retarded and disgusting)
>>737654295You can argue technicalities anon, but I point out the flaw in your logic here>>737653923They don't need to "take your games away". All they have to do is make it impossible for you to actually play them. All those games you bought on your ps3 account? All gone if you're not playing on a Ps3. Even though it shares the same account as your Ps4 account.
>>737653970NOOO!!! DELETE THIS! SOME ANONYMOUS INSIDER CONFIRMED IT'S A GLITCH IN THE SYSTEM!!! MY FRIENDS AT SONY WOULD NEVER DO AN EVIL THING LIKE THAT!!!
>>737648378https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWSIFh8ICaA
>>737648378If that is the case, then you aren't buying a game any more. You are renting it at full price and they can remove it from your hardware whenever they want.Guess i just won't be buying consoles from now on then. The PS5 will be my final one. Especially if my paid-for games can be completely removed.
>>737653415Nta, but i cant boot up Infamous Second son and first light, Battlefield Hardline and some other minor stuff i bought over 10 years ago on PS4 digitally.Thats the reason why i dont buy digital games anymore.Btw, i will switch to PC and pirate from now on.I hope the whole gaming industry commits seppuku, its crazy how much bullshit the average person has to endure because of the greed.Why cant we go back to the 2000s, you bought your shit and owned it.Without big brother.
>Look it up>Its a ps4 bugI fucking sleep
>>737648890>It's exactly what the Switch does already.That's only for the roms you get on subscription, it doesn't do that for the regular digital titles or game key card games
>>737648430>I like it better that way anyway....
>>737654342It absolutely would not be from the simple fact that it is taking away something that you purchased.
>>737649004>I hate that I am being spied on and my data is being used by the government >continues using smartphones and social media there you go, simple as
>>737653970>tested ityou faggot are aware dates are controlled on server sides right?
>>737654424I still have my PS3 and it still works. I kept my collection, and if a direct port of a PS1 game with nothing added gets added to the PS5, I even get that for free since I bought it back then. Gay that it didn't all go forward to future consoles, but a non-issue if you still have your PS3 anyway.
>>737649004Because companies began obfuscating the DRM and avoid telling you directly, up front, whether or not their game uses it. They think there won't be a problem if they simply don't tell you the problem exists, which is why Valve constantly adds shit like pic related to the store pages themselves and why they're now adding shit like estimated hardware performance and generative AI detection.
>>737654703You are aware despite Sony's cock fitting perfectly in your ass doesn't mean you need to do it or tell anyone about it.
>>737649624Its meant only for PS Plus titles. People download a game when its temporarily free, and then unplug their PS5 from the internet to keep it longer.
>>737654838i still have my Ps3, but the damn games should work on my Ps4 natively. There is zero reason for it not working.
>>737655076>its meant for PS plus!!!!!lying retard
>>737648378I never even connected my ps4 or 5 to the god damn internet.
>>737654480Do either of them even still work at Sony? I know Yoshida doesn't.
>>737654480reminds me of the Samsung making fun of Apple over removing the headphone jack, then a couple of years later Samsung removes the headphone jack on their new phones and quietly removes the old ad
>>737655076>Its meant only for PS Plus titlesNigga >>737653970
>>737650685I still rather take full games on disc over gay keys.
>>737651110>You have to remember that sony was going to do the exact same anti consumer practices of the Xbone and only 'reversed' on them after seeing how badly Microsoft got dragged at E3.Don't forget Sony was going all-in with the online passcodes just like EA, 2K, etc. were using to kill off used games. Hell, early PS4 titles like Killzone actually contained dummied out encryption keys and serial numbers that point to Sony having already implemented an anti-used games system for the console. Being the last company to present at E3 saved their asses just like it always has, that's probably why they're fucking everything up so badly now that there is no E3 anymore.
>>737655481Discs have just been game keys since last gen, only Nintendo was still actually putting the game on their cartridges/discs, and even they're trying to phase it out.
>>737654090Both companies suck shit
>>737652307while we're at it how do we really know you're old enough to play these gamesaccess revoked - submit digital ID
>>737654378Nigga, i call nostradamus or sum shit, but i knew where we will eventually end up when i was 10 and read online about the horse armor.I knew games woud release half finished.I knew they woud sell us the other half through dlc.I knew that games will monetize skins and recolors.I knew we woud get Gatcha mechanics and lootboxes out of the ass.I knew we woud only be able to purche stuff online.And i knew they woud deny us acces to stuff we paid for if it is profitable.All this foresight, as a 10 year old.Because of horse armor.Fuck you.
>>737655531Idk where people get this bs from. I have a ps5 with about 60 physical discs and they all install and run fine and my system has never even been online once since it came out of the box. I cant say the same for switch 2 since the launch models required a gay ass day 1 update.
>>737654540i can't play Catherine on ps5 even though i bought it on ps3, because they pulled base edition Catherine from the store and replaced it with the updated edition Catherine Full Body. kinda bullshit but that's the only situation like that I've ever come across.
>>737648378the greed and cruelty of the jews knows no bounds
>>737649045you realize that all this would mean is that they didn't mean for it to be rolled out yet, right?
>>737655780Anyone with a brain stem saw all this shit coming when horse armor and limited collector's editions started. You're not special, and it still has nothing to do with what this thread is about.
>>737648378>Playstation is winning but just goes ahead and commits suicideWhy are executives like this? Does getting a MBA lower your IQ by 50 points?

>>737649004Because of sports fans.
>>737655969correct. PS+ has functioned like this for a decade and a half. until proven otherwise, it's unlikely intended for non-PS+/other trial shit.

>>737648378Pirates win again.
>>737656063I don't get that NFL meme post, Soccer has rabid fans looking for drafts as well.
I haven't bought a single video game since 2016 and more people need to do the same.
>>737649154Gotta give credit to the OG without whom none of this would have happened.

>>737656364*wife I cable
>>737651690>we
>>737655828It's been talked about but they do the same thing for games on PS+, so it's not like they made new code for it. If it was network wide, it wouldn't only be PS4 consoles impacted.
>>737654342SKG literally caused this…
>>737653185We call this one the cuckshot.
>>737656563How so?
>>737656583it came inside him during a dream
>>737653038>>737653134>>737653179This is what the end result of incest looks like.
>>737656023PS4 era gave them such a ridiculous foothold on the market that they can fail away and shit like PS+ subscriptions can keep them afloat. Why do you think they keep jacking up the prices on that shit? It cushions all the Concords.
>>737648378What's even the point of this? There is no mechanism by which this could have any effect on piracy or cheating. It does not benefit sony or any developers in any way. It's just shitting on their customers for no reason.
>consolefags shitpost about pcfags not owning their own games and steam being drm>snoys literally do not own their games So it was literally all just projection when they shit up steam threads?
>>737648378>digital>on consoleWhat compels people to do this? It's the worst of both worlds. The only reason Steam barely gets a pass is that the service is amazing and Valve doesn't have any of this check-in cancer and your library is safe forever until Valve dies. Buying digital on console will inevitably end in you losing that game no matter what when they arbitrarily decide to shut down that console's servers.
>>737648378PS KEKS LMAO
>>737656803If they can normalise it now, then it's less of a struggle when the new console comes in.They trust people won't stop buying PS5 games over it, so the argument is, in ~2 years time when the PS6 arrive, why would it be a problem then.They saw Xbox attempt it with a new generation and communicate it badly. So here they just don't communicate it at all or call it a bug. Here's your tiny little update that added it, nothing malicious in here.
>>737656803Things you own? NOTHING
>>737648890It's also not okay when the switch does it.
>>737657070>people won't stop buying PS5 games over itImpossible, PS5 has no games.
>>737656887>Buying digital on console will inevitably end in you losing that game no matter what when they arbitrarily decide to shut down that console's serversSame goes for steam>inb4 "b-but piracy!"Yeah but you would still lose the game you have spent money on if steam were to shut down one day
>>737656414> He doesn't even know about the "quality seal" era.What an absolute golem.
>>737657216we had it good
>>737657162Oh yeah, silly me
>>737657163>Same goes for steamNah steam has a specific clause that deactivates all the DRM and allows users to download their games during a grace period if the service were to ever shut down.
>>737656563Spite from companies because of some neckbeard commie redditor being hailed as God, even though he’s going to kill indie games if this somehow goes through. Not that I think it will but the support of it here just shows this board is basically dead.
consolecucks are beyond saving
>>737657310Damn, that's based. I hope that grace period is like a year because that's a LOT to archive.
>>737657332I swear people like you deliberately misrepresent what it's asking for.Indie games aren't reliant on megaservers to stay up and providing the means to either play games without the reliance on them or host them yourself is well within the means of independents who do make multiplayer stuff.
>>737648378Oh look, it's that thing I said would happen when consoles move into digital only. Ya know, that thing you retards said wouldn't ever happen....
>>737656829>So it was literally all just projection when they shit up steam threads?ALWAYSHASBEEN
>>737654572>its a ps4 bug>teehee somehow we magically have a *bug* that adds a ui of how many days left to play before you have to be online again>whoopsie!
>>737648737Internal company war between Japan and NA branches. NA branch were ruthless and willing to undermine Sony's Japanese games. For example Gravity Rush 2 was released a month before Horizon Zero Dawn, all of the marketing went into Horizon. Last Guardian got 30 seconds, David Cage's PS4 crap got major marketing. I'm not sure Gravity Rush 2 was ever even shown at E3. Sony's European branch was torn apart by the infighting with the NA branch wanting to assert total control instead of the three branch system of PS1-PS3.
>>737648737
HOLY FUCK IT'S REACHED THE VITA
>>737657415if you neglect it for that long and have no space then id agree
This is probably something they are planning to do in order to bypass potential SKG future requirements.>Oh we're not removing this game from you, you never had it in the first place it was always just a temporary license that we decide to renew or not
>>737657661WHAT
>>737657472A lot of people were making this call with Xbone. It wasn't going to go away forever. That said, randomly flipping a switch one day's a bit on the audacious side.

>>737648378>tfw you never owned a PS5, PS4, PS3, XBox One, XBox Series X, Xbox 360, Xbox, Switch 2, Switch, Wii-U, Wii
>>737648378What is it for, what's the point? It is not an anti-piracy measure since you already bought the game digitally.
This sure didn't age wellhttps://youtu.be/kWSIFh8ICaA?si=9Tam-y7iJ2mQa2AZ
>Thehe, we *accidentally* implemented a 30 day online DRM check in our platform, sorry! Just a little fucky wucky! :PWorst part is that retards will unironically buy this excuse. This was clearly them testing the waters to gauge the reaction to this shit
>>737657863Haha oops my bad>spend months putting new entries that explicitly state what they do and how they workHaha just a bug, oops (ROLL IT BACK ROLL IT BACK ROLL IT BACK FUCK FUCK FUCK)
>>737657863If we're lucky it's just a test. They can go fuck themselves either way.
>>737655519Sony also killed online pass system. They banned online pass for PS4 games because they wanted to sell paid online.
How are you even downloading games if your console is offline? Or are you downloading the game and then disconnecting? Why?
The difference between steam users and consoles users, is that steam users can porate their games back.
>>737657985depends on the console
>>737657962skill issue
>>737657819I want to watch this with audio
jailbreak chads knew this already
>>737657962That's a really funny and well thought out point until you lose internet access for a couple days and for some reason your console never did that automatic license re-up, and now you're fucking stuck because you live in always online hell.
Last console I bought was the WiiU
>>737657962I have downloaded games on my 360 and PS3 that I still bust out occasionally. No need for Internet on them.
>>737657589>addsits been there since the ps3 days brother
>>737658132Same, bought it exclusively for Smash Bros and Nintendoland, both were disappointing
>>737657985>is that steam users can porate their games backIf you have piracy, why buy games at all?
>>737658336Not everyone has the mentality that if they can steal something, they should.
>>737658336Because I believe in fairly engaging with the market to fairly procure goods and services. I'm not such a misanthrope that I'll default to abusing the system, but if the system wants to abuse me I'll return in kind. Gabe has yet to screw me, but if he does, that girl from Amelie has me covered

>>737648430end of may i am going with a few friends on a trip around europe for 60 days(2 days per country, 20 countries, may 25th to july 10th), do you really think it's normal that if i buy a game mid-end may, i'll have it revoke it from my library simply cause i wasnt home?they are literally turning FULL PRICE purchases into limited rentalinb4 it was rental before as well cause they could revoke licenses and what not, i stil have games digital games i bought back when the PS4 first launched, and while yes they're "rental" cause they're tied to my account, they're still there since fucking 2013, not gone after FUCKING 30 DAYS
>>737648378sonycattle just has no options they have to choke on shit
>>737655531>Nintendo was still actually putting the game on their cartridges/discs, and even they're trying to phase it out.Nintendo is doing no such thing.All of their published and developed games are fully physical.GKCs only exist due to certain shitty 3rd parties (square, capcvom, bamco, etc) bitching and whining for it.Meanwhile even fucking Marvelous can afford full physical carts. As can Inti Creates.Go bitch at the kike ass cunts.
>>737659340>from my librarydoes /v/ just attract retards

>>737659409elaborate?
>>737659240>He thinks he gets it.Lol
>>737648737Do you mean the entire conglomerate or just their gaming division Sony Interactive Entertainment, which operates the Playstation brand as a whole? If you're asking about the latter, in 2016 they moved the entire division from Japan to California.
Honestly i was under the impression that all consoles did this silently.My switch nags me to connect to the internet for digital games if i turn it off for too long and it can't find wifi right away.
>>737659465>
>>737659523I'm not saying it's because of Nintendo but my switch as soon as the digital game card update hit has been "having trouble" reading my physical game cards.
>>737648430And when the store for the PS4 & 5 gets shut down?
>>737658873They literally are NOT.You never need to do an online check in ever. Just download the game and its good forever.Why do you niggers insist on lying?>>737658964>snoy is going to play off the SONY was the one who first hiked games to be 70 bucks, then microsoft followedSleezy shit bag.Plus urinalists have spent like 2 years prepping everyone for $100gta6.Do absolutely fuck off.
>>737659672virtual game cards != game key cardsand I also said KINDA as in NOT EXACTLY
>>737659536Enjoy the L*closes thread*
>>737659602sure it has anon.I use mine daily. Swap carts regularly.Never had issues.Maybe keep your shit clean?
>>737659637Download it straight from your library?Keep in you can still to this day download your legally bought games to a psp, dunno why the fuck would you but the option is there.
>>737657962>snoyjeet lacks the IQ to understand that a mild inconvenience can become a massive problem later in the future if we don't take care of it now
>>737656724Name three PC exclusives you've played lately. If you take longer than five minutes you had to look it up to find one and your opinion is invalid.
>>737659715virtual game games are literally just digital purchased games.So you are still full of shit.And you damn well know it which is why you use weasel wording like 'kinda sorta similar'If you buy a game off the eshop it just works. Period.You don't need any check ins or shit.stop deflecting from sony being shitbags.

>>737659754And then 30 days after the store shut down, what do you do then?
>>737648378sucks when Nintendo did it, sucks here and now.
>>737659989So zero.
>>737659874I already know how you're going to respond but>Guild wars >Deadlock>Gloomwood>Project silverfish>Obenseuer
>>737659874NTA, butBlack MesaEscape From TarkovFactorio
What's the point of a post ps3 console versus a modern PC today?
>>737660042Is it zero because you can't play themOr is it zero because no matter how much money you spend you can't play Sonic Megamix Mania?
>>737648378playstation is such a piece of shit wow
>>737660004the psp store shutdown a decade ago, you mean being able to login to your account? In that far future i'm pretty sure all the old consoles will be able to roam the seven seas, hell you can do it with a PS5 if your firmware is low enough.
>>737657595For what it's worth Gravity Rush 2 and Last Guardian weren't all that great either.
>>737660083whats the point of the hat? Does it help?
Thankfully I bought the version with a disc drive and I only buy physical games. We warned you digital only loving cuckolds but you fags just love to get fucked so now here we all are witnessing the constant death of the industry.
>>737660135I can play them, I have an obnoxiously overpriced PC that can play anything because I'm not poor. Those mods aren't worth playing and I can play those games normally on anything else.>>737660064>>737660070christ the PC gaming crowd has terrible fucking taste in video games though
>>737657661>>737657742Even if this was a bug it's not it's worrying how much a "bug" can impact the PS's ecosystem. You really own nothing.
>>737660432>I have a really overpriced PCDoubt
>>737660432Fucking knew you'd be a salty bitch no matter what games we put down.Doesn't matter that we quickly provided what you asked, you just find a new thing to complain about and move swiftly on.
>>737660034When did nintendo do this?
>>737660490I know for a fact the Switch will do it for downloaded titles that come from your online sub, but it might also do it for any downloaded Switch title.
>b-b-but NintendoHere we go again.
>>737660556pot calling kettle black
>>737660473Doubt all you want.>>737660486No salt about it, I recognize the titles of those games but forget whatever they are, I assume due to them all being boring menu clickers and/or shooters since that's all the PC crowd can handle. And I say this as someone who's dumped over 140 hours into Mewgenics because it's the one good PC exclusive I've been playing since UFO 50, which I also stopped playing on PC when I could play it on a console instead.
>>737660608or niggers, as I like to call them
>>737648378Xbone really was ahead of its time.
>>737660549It checking if your subscription is still active? I don't think that's the same.
>>737660556Good ole pro consumer Nintendo...
>>737660608More like everyone calling your console blacked.
>>737660634>I own a PC>I don't know what Tarkov, Guild Wars, Factorio, black mesa, deadlock, or gloomwood areI hope youre a brown child, this is no way for a white person to behave
>>737660661this but unironically. Only Valve beats them in being generous to their customer.
>>737660549Digital purchases on switch doesn't require online checking. What are you on about?
>>737648430This anon is ragebaiting but remember that just about most people think like this. They genuinely do not see any problem with such requests and will merely say>just do it thenAnd this is why there will be zero consequences whatsoever for the people doing this.
>>737660689i'll see you in your "comfy" threads again soon obsessing over sony and black dicks and not talking about the switch.
>>737660634>I assume due to them all being boring menu clickers and/or shooters since that's all the PC crowd can handle>doesn't recognise games>biggest crowd of ball and gun gamers throwing shade at the platform with the biggest varietyTypical snoy
>>737660771Every nigga wants a smart fridge til their fridge refuses to keep their food cold because it lose wifi
>>737660657>>737660768It checks if you still have the license to run the software if it's related to your NSO. If you haven't been online for a week, it demands you connect to the server to check.
>>737659282>missing the pointIt's not that they enjoy something he doesn't like, it's that they are willing to go through ridiculous lengths for the most ridiculous pathetic consumerism there is. It is actions of such people that allow corporations the ability to do literally anything they want because no matter how bad it gets, that type of person will still consoom
>>737652647Why do you ask that? Is this a trend happening in other places too? Does the Xbox, Windows store, Nintendo, and anything else like iTunes or something do this as well? At least on PC there is a chance to copy and paste the data and maybe look for a crack or something to get them working.
>>737648378STOPREMOVINGGAMES
>>737660774Imagine getting bullied out of a comfy thread lol
>>737660823>Every nigga wants a smart fridgeThe only "smart" appliance that has ever had even the slightest usefulness was when TVs started letting me watch youtube without needing to hook up a computer. Why the FUCK would I want a smart fridge? What does a "smart fridge" even do?
>>737660842Okay but NSO is a subscription service. Where is the part where nintendo prevents people from playing their digital games offline after a while?
>>737648378This is why piracy will always be justified. Also this is anti consumer as fuck, I'm sure it'll be challenged somehow. Whether they'll succeed or not I dont know but it'll be challenged for sure.
>>737654838they should run on the newer consoles and have higher resolution/framerates. who wants to play on ps3 at 600p 24fps on a 4k tv.
>>737660974Keeps food cold when the wifi is up
>>737660774No one in the switch comfy threads bring up sony and the barrierstation but snoys themselves
>>737660823>>737660974genuine question, WHAT can a smartfridge do exactly that makes it even remotely entertainable? A UI touchscreen for controlling the internal temperature without opening the fridge is the only thing I can remotely see value in... but opening the door and turning a dial is pretty easy already.
>>737660782I look at Steam, I download demos, I even throw caution to the wind and listen the the worthless opinions of the PC cucks here and try out demos they recommend during Steam Next Fest threads or whatever else. I don't give a shit about Sony. Every video game platform has their own problems, having "loyalty" to any company is retarded. Console is usually the choice for most multiplatforms for me since all I see any time a new game comes out is people bitching about "when's the crack" and how the PC version runs like shit because of the DRM or whatever that's necessary because pirating on PC is so easy, so the people with money that actually bought the game end up suffering to try to keep pirate from pirating their game.Or I can just buy the game on console and have it work with no issues, with the added bonus of if someone sends me a message on something, I don't have to alt-tab out of a game and have it do that weird thing full screen games do where it goes black for a bit as you tab out and back in.
>>737661162They can play crazy AI videos in public places, making everyone slightly uncomfortable, but not enough to do anything about it.
>>737661059It should, but also the games still run and look fine on a PS3. Not as good as they could if they were all updated to take advantage of new hardware to at least give us better loading times, but still fine. It's like a shitty time capsule.
>>737661162>but opening the door and turning a dial Or, you know...a button? Outside the fridge? Like a normal button?
>>737661162Unauthorised advertising
>>737661162ItKeepsYourFoodColdWhenTheWifiIsUp
>>737661331at least with those really gay restaurant kiosk tablets I can flip them over and ignore them. I hate when gas pumps decide to start playing commercials once I'm pumping gas. This shit is like the bad South Park future
>>737649004Middle management project that it works and create scenarios in which they attribute sales to it working, and those that make the DRM market that it works with manipulated data that generously attributes growth to them, and the higher ups just accept the charts the middle management puts in front of them. As a result they just keep adding it because they think it contributes to line going up, and investors and share holders all think "Well the charts says it goes up, so I want it or you're undermining me and I'll sue or take my money and go home" and so now they're pressured to use it.
>>737660226You shouldn't HAVE to resort to piracy once the store shut down. People should be able to plug in an old console and decade later and not have DRM shut down their downloaded library is my point.
>>737655796Some disks come as download disks
>Tendies are still trying to shill for a fucking Kotaku articleYou honestly should be ashamed. Consolewarring is whatever but if you unironically support Kotaku you deserve cancer. Also you can just boot up your PlayStation and check so if it were true we'd be seeing a lot more evidence.

>>737661769teach me your ways, Galdalf the Grey-hat.
>>737660549Nintendo could literally never get away with something like this because their console is a handheld meant to be played by little children. It's perfectly reasonable and expectable for a Switch to be offline for 30 days or more.And then they'd get multiple complaints from parents about how their little Timmy's Bing Bing Wahoo got deleted.
>>737661708we did, it's real >>737653970Why is your first instinct to deflect about Kotaku when your post is the very first mention of it in this thread.
>>737661549>PS5 has no games!!! >Erm... What if in umm... Arbitrary number of years I wanna play no games again!!! You faggots just love to whine and moan and bitch all the fucking time. Bunch of pathetic little women faggots.
>>737659340Literally nothing is changing other than the fact that all games now so it. You don't lose your game, you just have to connect to the Internet to to restore your license then you can unplug and play offline for another 20 days.
>>737661708No one has said anything about Kotaku or even posted the link to the article ITT
>>737661926If you think I am overreacting about it then you simply don't understand how shit of a website Kotaku really is.
>>737662230Its definitely an overreaction from you when nobody brought them up except you to complain about them.
>>737662223If you had any knowhow about how to search for info then you would find out that literally the very first article about this came from Kotaku. But of course if you had even that little bit of knowhow you wouldn't even consider Kotaku a valid source.
>>737662317So you didn't even know where the rumor came from and instead just parroted it.
>>737661769>age restricted>age restriction requires government IDI hate this stupid gay earth
>>737662371I saw people posting it themselves on TwatX. Independently, and in different languages. Followed by someone that disabled the system clock to confirm he was locked out from it without it having any connection to PS+I don't use Kotaku and have no idea why they still exist after the gawker media fallout between them and Hulk Hogan years back.
I'm surprised Kotaku even talked about this. You'd think they'd protect their bottomline and cut their biggest benefactor.
>>737648430White. Male. Around 20 years old. Wisconsin.
>>737662491You conveniently ignore all the ones that say they don't see it though. But yeah those are for sure just fanboys. YOUR side of the argument is 100% correct. I personally don't really give a fuck and gave up on consoles decades ago. My issue lies solely with the fact you are willing to trust Kotaku just because it suits your argument.
>>737662668>KotakuThey're still around? I haven't thought about them in at least a couple years now.
>>737648378sonybros deserve this
>>737662785How hard is it for you to understand that there's other sources than Kotaku.You made me look at their shitty site and the pictures used are from the tweets I saw 12 hours ago. So you're being a bitch for me ignoring stuff when I SAW IT FROM THE VERY PLACE THEY SOURCE IT FROM.
>>737649004>How come everybody in the world hates DRM yet DRM keeps getting more intrusive every year, over the span of decades?what the fuck you really gonna do lil nigga? not buy it? we both know that aint the case. now put the DRM on the game BITCH
>>737662804Last I heard their parent company went bankrupt and Nintendo blacklisted them. So all they write is ragebait about how [E-rated video game character] is an LGBTQ+ icon.
>>737648378consoles have relinquished every single advantage they had. The PS4-5 are now always online systems just like the original Xone was gonna be. At the end this won't stop pirates from pirating though, this always only affects real customers.
>>737661549As long as the console is capable of redownloading the game, it's capable of verifying and reactivating the game license. You will never lose the ability to download and play games you purchased unless the company goes under or you go off the grid and stay there permanently.
>>737660974>What does a "smart fridge" even do?uses AI to try write you grocery lists based on your contents, apparently, but I don't why you can't just look inside and know what you need
>>737648430YOU VIL OWN NOTHING

>>737658336>is that steam users can porate their games back>If you have piracy, why buy games at all?You say this but don't post any proof. Can you send me some proof of PS3 games that you purchased digitally that has those exact timers?

>>737649045>it's already been confirmed as sony fucking up something visually on their end.>look inside>not a confirmation from sony
Kotaku? More like smoke-rocku
>>737662983Are you seriously claiming you found it because you followed that weird ''gamemodder'' dude that posts reddit threads? I mean it's better than Kotaku but still dude kinda cringe.
>>737648378If you don't like a game enough to play it even once in 30 days why keep owning it? Sony is literally helping you declutter your life.
>>737654090except the switch 2 can also be updated offline lol you just need a new game. Also Im sure at this point the switch 2 comes with the latest firmware anyway.
>>737663212Not quite how it works. If your system is offline for more than 30 days, Sony reserves its right to lock you out of the content they allowed you buy.
>>737663175No I have an account that's a decade old so I've tailored my feed to have stuff relevant to my interests.I don't follow the guy by I quickly pick up on game and tech news.Somehow you feel the need to belittle me because I have a way of quickly getting information without resorting to Kotaku like you seem to.
>>737655651nah Nintendo is not as bad and actually makes decent games. Especially singleplayer ones. Something snoy forgot how to do apparently
>>737659984he did give a good blow
There a months where I won't touch my console until a game I want comes out
>>737648378and of course retards in this thread are defending it. what happened to gaming?

>>737658964MY NIGGA, SONY MADE THE JUMP TO 70 FIRST.... also at least when nintendo makes a game 70 dollars, it's just that price and no MTX. Maybe sometimes DLC but whatever
>>737658675he didn't but I did and I warned everyone.
Hey now, what could go wrong with Sony having a little more control over our libraries? You guys are just being paranoid.
Kinda fucked up that this place gets so much misinformation pushed through with little to no evidence, that when some actual news happens, it then gets pushed back despite a steady supply of evidence.
>>737664452While 4chan is not under true free speech, that's the curse of free speech; mobs and crowds can drown out logic. Whether bad faith actors or just trolls, it's not hard to pull off.
>>737659754You already can't do that with the PS3 games you bought off its store. It'll happen to PS4/5 in the future when they inevitably roll out a new storefront and say the old is incompatible.
>>737649187What? No. You can play steam games you have installed offline indefinitely.
>>737664523I just make sure to remember who is acting in bad faith. It's usually because there's something worse they're trying to hide. Evidence in what they're failing to shrug off all over this thread.
>>737660070>Remake>DOG SHIT>on switch/2 LMAO
>>737648570As usual, consolefags don't know how Steam works.There's no time limit on Steam. If the game doesn't have any kind of DRM (not even Steamworks, like Dwarf Fortress, for example), you don't even need to log into Steam to play.Most games use Steamworks, however, but you can configure Steam to run offline, or simply emulate Steamworks (remember, emulation is legal, contrary to what Sony and Nintendo try to imply to their retarded fans) and play the games without an Internet connection. Again, the games remain accessible indefinitely.You’ll only run into trouble with strong DRMs, like Denuvo. Denuvo does exactly what Sony’s game does. If you go too long without authenticating, you lose access to the game.
>>737664640as much as I applaud your watchful eye, how do you discern? Ironic shitposting and foreign entities spreading frustration is the name of the game here lately
>>737648378>digital only mfs when they learn they literally own nothing
>>737663224That and he was also wrong because people were able to play mario kart world without the system update. It was only required for switch 1 games because of backwards compatibility
>>737648378This is wild
>>737648570Once you go offline with steam you can play any games you have offline forever.
>>737664709gog is still better lol. I can install a GOG game on a flash drive and literally just play it from that without any emulation or whatever the fuck.
The Barrier grows beyond new games. Now it's games you already bought.
Sounds like you're having a rough time of things, Sony fans.
>>737648378i hate them so much bros im selling my ps5
>>737665013yeah LMAO sony is HELLA fucking up. And infact, Nintendo is finally not being retarded as much
>>737658964>The Switch has been the most damaging thing to gaming so far.>Games have gone up to $70-90 because of the SwitchBait used to be believable
>>737649004They are pursuing a concept called a Walled Garden. The idea is that they, the owners of the services and content, have exclusive control and ownership over everything and the consumer must seek out their permission or buy-in to even have the privilege to browse what they have. There is a very vain and ego driven idea behind this that if they must use them for their services then you will only use them for those services. By doing this, they can force the consumer to do whatever they want and tolerate their shitty products they would force on them.This is why all the big companies are being so heavy handed and draconian with things like DRM and have a hateboner for Steam. This is also why they don't like Stop Killing Games too because the legal language suddenly no longer being vague means they cannot pretend to be good guys.
>>737664868To bypass any Steam checks all you have to drop a .dll from Github into the game folder for 99% of Steam games. I guess unless you're tech illiterate and retarded... then GOG hits hard. It takes more time to install the GOG EXE and than it does to make a Steam game DRM freehttps://github.com/Detanup01/gbe_fork/releases
>>737664720People overestimate anonymity and make a lot of mistakes in simple ways.If you play enough attention then you can differentiate if you're speaking to the same person from another thread, the same person pretending to be multiple or even multiple people attempting to force a specific opinion.>Same arguments in multiple threads>repeat use of the same reaction images>spelling and grammar quirks>specific words or phrasesI don't pretend that there's only a handful of people on this site, but I do lock in when I see someone repeating what I've seen before. If the following posts repeat as I remember then it's giving you free reign counter their argument before they could even make it.The absolute best thing you can do is be factually correct, lay it out with overwhelming evidence because it'll piss them off. They lose composure and make more mistakes, lose the mask and leave you able to force questions back at them, specifically ask why they are doing their actions against fact. Pressure it.They will either leave as others recognise and join or do something ban worthy.I'm about to go to sleep so I may have strayed from the point but maybe you got something useful from this.
>>737665013enjoying game key cards?
>>737665352download it once onto the card and it's fixed
>>737648378I don't even have playstation but this makes me throw up
>>737648430You like being forced to pay attention to your licence dates?
>>737665352I WOULD be if I upgraded to a Switch 2. But, I'm still on Switch 1 because I don't blindly follow trends.
>>737665352100x better than having rental game licenses that’s for sure
>>737663212>If you don't like a game enough to play it even once in 30 days why keep owning it? That is retarded reasoning.People don't read books they own every hour and would keep it on the shelf for long periods of time, the same is troo for movies and offline games.
>>737665352I own the GKCs sooo...
Not my problem.
>>737665352I don't even have any, I've only bought 1st party Switch 2 games so far.
>>737665915The only reason to even have a key card over digital is so you can sell it, and the value goes to $0 if the servers go offline. So not really.
>>737665352enjoying denuvo?
>>737648378This literally doesn't affect me thoBecause I am steamGOD
>>737665352enjoying 8 MB discs?
>>737666060Yea, just beat Pragma with an offline activation and saved $60
>>737666118Pragma nutz
>>737648378Steam has done this for a long time and Valve cultists blindly defend it, saying you'd never be without internet for 30 days.
>>737648430>so? just lick the boot. what's the problem lol?
>>737666197Leather is an acquired taste anon, please understand!
>>737648430wow that's pretty racist to rural people. Apologize immediately.
>>737666059>if the servers go offlineThe carts themselves will become unreadable before that happens.It's already happening to 3DS carts.
>>737665932today's policies affect games tomorrow. Imagine where they get so cocky with DRM that it becomes uncrackable, at least to the modern cracker.
>>737666394my 3DS carts still work great after about 13+ years. You just need to keep them in a storage. Also that's just a hardware issue nigga.
>>737659409yes
>>737666554More people will flock to GOG in that case and other consumer-friendly storefronts that treat them better
>>737666676Hence why they try to kill GOG and shill Steam
>>737649004What are you going to do, not play your playstation anymore?
>>737666676only if we are there to make them aware of the option. You bet corporations will drown our advice out as best they can.
>>737666731They only shill Steam because they kneel to Gaben.
>>737660064most of this is straight up reddit slopalso deadlock is going to be shiiiiiiiiiiiit
Steamies, Tendies, GOGgles, even you there Xbot, seize this conflict. Remember why we're here. To point and laugh at snoys.
What the hell do I do now?
>>737649045>we accidentally added these UI elements that explicitly spell out this specific function oopsie whoopsie how did that happen
>>737666917>going to beI've had fun with it because I'm capable of enjoying things without running it past reddit first.
>>737648419Fpbp. Buying GayStation is just asking for trouble.
>>737667170
>>737667046
>>737648378so what this isn't gonna do shit the consumer will fuck bend the knee like always look at how far they went with loot boxes etc and people still fuck drop money into it same dance same bull shit out cry just get yourself a custom PC or pirate shit nothing ever fuck happen and am tired of it there has to be a complete crash and burn
>>737667137my nigga, are you a detached blob? I remember a time where valve made a game and had a singleplayer and multiplayer (WITH LAN TOO) and didn't milk you for shit. Such a game that does such filth should always be a 0/10
>>737667387>and didn't milk you for shitWhat are you getting at? There's no payments in the game at all. I do it for fun.
>>737667472....you know they're going to add MTX right? Not If, when
>>737664737>console mfs when they own nothingftfyNever a problem on PC.
>>737660064>Deadlockthis is just not a fun game, and I tried it>>737667594it will be soon with windows 11 and age verification laws LMAO
>>737667575And what does that have to do with the game I've been playing for a thousand hours in the last 2 years. I've already been enjoying it without caring about what they will add. It;s not going to take away the time I've already played.I've played TF2 from the Orange Box days and Dota2 from the time of Key begging. I'm well aware of how they monetise things and it doesn't stop me enjoying a good game.
>unplug my PC from the switch>my Windows werks>all my games just werk>my slop generators werk>my muisc werks>my movies werkBeing a slave to always-online DRM is a mentality, not an unescapable reality. B)
>>737667735O M G we cannot have nice things can we? The jew truly holds back the white man
>>737667810Weak little bitch sees a cosmetic and starts crying from lack of self control.I've enjoyed it for 2 years. If you've spent as long crying about what it will get then that's 2 years you've missed out where there was absolutely none of it to get in your way.
>>737667956MOTHERFUCKER "COSMETICS" USED TO JUST BE A FUCKING UNLOCKABLE...
>>737667991Yeah and this used to be a thread highlighting how much of an anti-consumer piece of shit Sony is.Thing is that you're still complaining about stuff that doesn't exist.
>Implement a change that ensures anyone not currently using PSN will never return to sony againGenius
That's it I'm officially closing my SONY account for good.
>>737649301This, they absolutely had this system planned and this wasn't a bug, it was a test to public reaction.
>>737668513Okay now do a PS5 with The Dud on it
when the internet goes down and civilization ends how will digicucks ever survive?Physicalchads keep winning
>>737668706mountains of unusable game key cards
>go on vacation for 30 days>lose all your ga-wait a second, the ps5 doesnt have any games, who cares
>>737666676>>737666731gog uses drm on their storefront and so i wont use them
Sony is literally killing their own consoles. Oh well. Hackers will find an exploit. They always do. Does this effect jailbreak consoles also or
>>737669665Is this DRM in the room with you right now?
That's not dystopian at all.
>>737648430>you NEED to be connected to the internet, you're missing out on the dashboard ads!
>>737665352Better than anything any other company offers because you can sell them or trade them, dipshit
>>737669792their storefront is the bottlenecksteam has byte-perfect gog dumps and otherwise drm-free games so putting gog on a pedestal ain't all that
>>737662117You're fucked.
>>737661997>just making shit up that was never saidShut up faggot
>>737659445You said a reddit word.
>>737651940We know sister. Just don't shoot up any more Elementary schools.
>>737648378Retard. It just ask you to login again after the end period, it doesn't "remove it for good" from your account. Steam does the same but it's actually worse because it just 2 weeks.
>>737671160>it doesn't "remove it for good" from your accountyet
>>737660842so absolutely nothing to do with checking for games you actually bought online you retarded nigger
>>737665352Yes. Now I can resale my digital games unlike on steam, PSN and xbox
>>737648378being a console gamer really is just slave cattle shit.
>>737648378Lol these retards are gonna get sued to oblivion
>>737670616>their storefront is the bottleneckWhat does that even mean? You aren't making any sense
>steamfags get the shitty controller>tendies get shit first party games>microsluts are dead>snoys get thisat long last...video games can finally die...
>>737672247
>>737652307Yeah WTF
>>737648378>On consoles, you get fomo for games you bought...Grimm. Is this kind of practice even legal?
>>737665217You're still pirating
>>737654197I'm trusting the plan
>>737672247Nah, it's just going to become Nintendo, Sony, and Valve. Xbox will die and SteamOS will shift people to Linux for gaming. Nintendo has nothing to worry about, Sony has nothing to worry about once they get rid of Herman Hulst, Valve's dominance of PC gaming will be complete. Microsoft loses everything when it comes to gaming. Xbox dies, Windows keeps losing to SteamOS piece by piece. The last domino is when the Xbox OEMs die.
>>737674137chadsoft maked more money than shitendo, snoy, and steamie all putted together. xchad have beened here before you and well be here much longer then you, tendiesnoy
>>737665217Again, if you're going to pirate why even buy the games on steam? i don't understand PC niggers
>>737652307EULA reserves the right to update terms
Steamies been doing this with their game rentals for decades now
>>737672247>>tendies get shit first party gameslmao????? not true??
>>737674214Doesn't matter, Helix is going to flop big time and the OEMs are going flop. The other problem with the OEMs is that the companies are going to have to pay for Windows usage and the semi-custom APU that's being used in the Helix to be used on their devices. That's going to lead to a domino effect of low sales mixed in with Microsoft's components costing too much for the third parties while Xbox is losing to SteamOS. Those companies will start making regular handhelds and Mini PCs just using SteamOS as the default. Microsoft is also fixated on AAA, that will last as long as PS5 and Xbox Series X|S stay relevant, when we move to 10th gen and people can't afford the PS6 home console, Microsoft's strategy falls apart.>but doesn't this hurt SonyNot really, the PS6 handheld exists for a reason, it's not only Sony's baseline but a failsafe in case the PS6 home console doesn't do to how because of the high price. Microsoft is fucked though. Nintendo, Sony, and Valve aren't there to help or save their gaming division, it's going to be a downward spiral from here on out. Everyone is making their niche, Microsoft is in a lose/lose situation that they can't escape.

>buying digital trash on playstation storenot my problem
i don't get it, unless your console is jailbroken, aren't all console games controlled by DRM? DRM is something for pcfags to worry about if you actually have a computer with other functions you want to protect.
>>737666060denuv0w0 and voices38 say hi to you
>>737665379>>737665647>>737665915>>737670538nta but you guys are missing the point here, when nintendo stops supporting its servers in 30 or 40 years, those game key cards will be useless, since you won’t be able to download the games againnever rely 100% on something that’s online, and don’t be so lenient either
>>737648378IT IS OK WHEN SONY DOES IT!
>>737648737filename
>>737676231Still 100x better than requiring internet to renew license. Nintendo will never take away your game purchases even if the servers were to shut down in "30 or 40 years"
>>7376628919000%
>>737667719>it will be soon with windows 11 and age verification laws LMAOIt would be bypassed easily. You can't do this on your precious console, cuck.
>>737667046SELL EVERYTHING TO GAMESTOP!
>>737648378I haven't connected my PS4 to the internet ever
>>737676467>this big shit is better than the other shitIt doesn't help that you just accept something bad anyway>Nintendo will never take away your game purchases>even if the servers were to shut down You know that without servers, it won't matter whether your game is linked to your account, right? You're confusing the situation where a store closes and you can no longer buy games, but you can still download themI'm talking about them completely stopping support for old games that they no longer sell and that are an unnecessary drain on Nintendo's resources, so Nintendo stops supporting those servers where the games you bought in the past are hostedSomething that will happen soon with games purchased from the Wii Shophttps://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3764/~/how-to-redownload-wii-shop-channel-content-on-wiiYou’d have to be pretty naive to think that Nintendo, Microsoft, or Sony won’t do that with their old consoles that they no longer sell
