OK but will people call them anti consumer or continue to make excuses for this change
Why would anybody ever buy a digital game for Playstation after this?
>>737777806Why is this a bad thing again? Who doesn't have an internet connection in 2026?
I haven’t gone 30 days without internet since I got internet back in 2004
>we just added some code unintentionally someone just took time to write and implement that shit and we rolled it out and it coincidentally started to appear right after the TOS PSN update with age verification :)) ooooops :)yeah no nigga, no fucking way, you ass has been caught and now you are backpedaling, as a Snoy myself I officially denounce every retard that defended it as the most gullible, pathetic, dumb and retarded goygolem on earth that deserves to be scammed
>Support saysSo that means the DRM was definitely a bug.
>>737778015that's not the point obviously because it's a slippery slope thingfirst it's 30 days and you get used to it, I mean who the fuck doesn't connect for a monththen it's 15 days and you get used to it, I mean who the fuck doesn't connect for two weeksthen it's one week etcooops mandatory checks 24 hours, don't use your console for a day: games and money status literally stolen
>>737777998I don't have internet
>>737777998>Why is this a bad thing again?It means that once Sony shuts down their server, which they will, your game collection disappears.>Who doesn't have an internet connection in 2026?This was the defense Xbox tried that killed the whole brand.
>>737778109you mean like how PC games started with pass codes to make them run and then all of a sudden became digital loans which could be removed from you without warning?
>got the Piss 5 barely a year ago because Jensen fucked me
>No formal statement is out by Playstation yetThen your entire post is irrelevant and unnecessary.
>>737778179>they WILL stop your game from launchingoh, so that part was real?
>>737777806>>If the console isn’t connected to the internet, then the game license may expire or refuse to launch until internet connection is establishedGrim.
>>737777806Still better than Steam where you have to stay logged in constantly to play your gaymes.
>>737778109>who the fuck doesn't connect for a monthseafarers and off the grid chads (I'm both)
>>737778203>It means that once Sony shuts down their server, which they will, do you realize that in the event of that happening (such as uh..... heat death of the fucking universe) there won't be valve or nintendo servers as well and your digital toys will be the last of your concerns quite literallywhy the fuck would they shutdown their servers are you out of your mind?>>737778237>b-b-bbbut PClook I'm all for shitting on pclards but what's the point of changing topic if we are talking about playstation specifically, pc fats can do whatever the fuck they want I don't give a shit, I don't play on pc>>737778327so uh why are you here bro
>>737778327samali pirates aren't chads
>he bought a PS5
I'll wait until Nintendo does it to be outraged because that's it's ok when Sony does it
>>737778367>why are you heresaying hi to my mom...
>>737778367>uh..... heat death of the fucking universeThe PS3 store was shut down in 2021By that timetable the PS4 store will be shut down in 2029 (fuck me look at a calendar), the PS5 in 2035
>>737778367>look I'm all for shitting on pclards but what's the point of changing topic if we are talking about playstation specifically,because only a couple of people in this thread have an actual console. the rest are pc retards being concerned about the goings on of a console when they've had it far worse for 20 years
Have you ever stopped to consider that it’s ok when sony does it?
>>737778403We already outraged when xbox did it, now it's fine
>AI chat bot hallucinations
>Buy digital console >oh no. this digital console needs internet , who knew?
>>737778367Every online service will shut down eventually you underage fucking child. Not in centuries, in a decade or two at most. Sony already tried to shut down PS3 servers once.
>>737778292>>737778237Shut up you retarded animal. PC can play abandonware from the 80s that aren't even sold anywhere.
>We have a console that works offline it's called the PS4
>>737778536thanks for proving the point.
>>737778403Aren't the Wii, Wii U, DS and 3DS servers already gone?
>>737778428What the fuck are you talking about
>some tech support pajeet living in a mud hut in India used chat GPT to translate and answer a question he knew nothing about>THIS MEANS IT'S CONFIRMED IT'S INTENTIONAL!!!
He was right!
>>737778570What does that have to do with this?
>>737778570No, you can still download from them, you just can't buy anything anymore.
>>737778559AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAFULL CIRCLE
>>737778602post time stamp ps5 controller pic
>>737777806If Nintendo ever does this, /v/ will literally implode with acceptance.
>>737778403Nintendo already does this with NSO downloads.
S-Shut up Xbot! We already are having a hard enough time knowing Helix will run our PC games better than PS6!
>>737778260>If they don't say it then it didn't happen>Never mind the fact that it's objectively happened already>Never mind that their AI bots are already confirming it's on purpose>As long as they keep quiet, it didn't happenLevel 99 bootlicker
>>737778637and there's no 30 day timer on games that were already downloaded
>>737777806>believing AI chat botsSony needs to make a press release about their jewry already so retards stop believing whatever
>>737778496Sony has been phasing out its physical media for months if not years now
>>737778670NSO is so unbelievably shit nobody cares
>fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity, it's called PS4>I mean PS3>I mean uh, PS2
>>737778698I imagine people buying a console without a disc drive in would figure out that internet is a requirement
>>737777806How come no credible game journalist has tried to contact Sony about this yet? Big gaming news sites like IGN and Eurogamer haven't even mentioned this shit yet.
That's right bros we've gotta keep drowning out the steam controller backlash, keep posting fake news
>>737778735He is inevitable.
>>737777998Its amazing how when sony does the draconian anti-consumer shit, the snoys line up to suck that corpo-cock, but xbox lost all of their fans the second they suggested this.Snoys are a literal cult. DEI spiderman and blad asexual asian lesbian games are not worth this shit.
>>737778690
>>737778735What an innovatorWe were all wrong to doubt him
>>737778778Journos will only run damage control for Snoy. They never criticize them.
>>737778778>credible game journalist
>>737777806>DRM is intentional and not a bug>No formal statement is out by Playstation yet
>>737778735PS2 had online :^)
>>737778424Being unable to make new purchases =/= Being denied access to your purchasesGoogle says you can still download PS3 games. I don't understand why people bring up digital store closures as if that means anything when you can still download your purchases.
>>737778824So rather than saying “yah that’s bullshit”, they’re not answering the question Really activates the almonds
>>737778892I downloaded Demon's Souls on PS3 about 12 months ago
>>737778670That does make a bit more sense though since that's subscription-basedWhereas Sony is doing it to games you literally purchased digitally
>>737778892>>737778424ps3 store is still up
>>737778924that ai guy in a call centre knows everything
>>737778924somehow they programmed the AI to have the politician speech of "i don't comment on my cheating allegations"
>>737778869i grew up with a ps2 and never knew it had online
>>737777998This kind of mentality killed xbox too zoomer
I was thinking about this the other day because I need a 100% offline solution to play games.My conclusion was either a 360 and that only works for the early era late into its lifespan it was incomplete games with day 1 patches and a ton of DLC or a PC with strictly pirated games. Even if you buy on steam games can still requires 30 day online validation checks.Literally piracy is the only option if you want an offline solution to play games
>>737777806Snoysisters!! Quick! We need to derail the board! Make more threads about the Steam controller!!!
>>737778980Technically me neither but i learned later about the brick you had to plug to access online parts of some games. The slim had a normal Ethernet outlet. PS2 was the FFXI machine at some point for some people.
Its never been more over. Switching back to xbone
>>737779135That doesn't even make sense. Why doesn't it just check the licence once on first boot
>>737777930Not two posts later>>737777998
>>737778690Fun fact.In Canada anything an AI chat bot tells you is considered as established company policy legally.So if the 30 day thing is real, Canada bros can probably sue Sony based on this screenshot.
>>737779267but it's only a bad thing for people without internet.
>>737779241For, uh, security... or something
>>737779348>continue to make excuses for this change
>>737779392Just seems really redundant. I'm alright with the check just like old CD keys or whatever but needing to constantly check the same shit seems wasteful and dumb
>>737777806They really just want everyone to migrate to PC, don't they.
>>737779135PS6 is CANCELLED. BYE BYE SONY! BYE BYE!!
>>737779424ok let's see. Only reply to this post if you don't have internet connection.
>>737778670>explicitly subscription service checking if you're subscribed is totally the same thing as sony checking games you bought every month
>>737777806>console renters are so poor they disconnect from the intarwebs
well well wellthe sony defence force says it’s a nothingburger. I remember them making fun of the xbox drm debacle back in the day
>>737779348We live in a society... Internet being practically mandatory since 16 if not a bit more years was a mistake. Now look, people will kill themselves if they can't have a dumbphone for a week and now there'sAI shit everywhere.Electronic fridge and washing machines instead of reliability from mechanical ones etc. Same for car windows of all things.
>>737779516that would be funny as fuck. >/v/ can't afford to upgrade their shitbox PCs >no new console releases >poorfag gaming completely wiped out it would be awesome
>>737777806>It's okay when valve does it.
Nobody but the goodest of goycattle would ever think they "accidentally" added a 30 day DRM feature.
>sony doing the same thing that largely killed the xbox brand years agobut why?
>>737777806This is a weird and shitty choice but who does this actually affect? If you're buying digital games you're doing it from the console that by definition has to be online, are people buying digital games via the PS app or something? Or is this something about family sharing (if it even has that)?
>>737779724it's not about their choice to add 30 days. it's about pc faggots to jump on something sony related
>>737779724Keep in mind most of /v/ is in Brazil or eastern yurop, and their entire village shares a NATed dialup connection.
>>737779713Because they think they can get away with it this time (they're right)
Is having online connectivity really an issue in this day and age? It does seem though really unnecessary to have such a limitation because I don't know what issue they are trying to solve with this change even if it doesn't really affect anyone except some random nigger in Africa who doesn't have internet
Sisters, it's clearly photoshop. Tripster confirmed it so.
>>737778403>sony raises prices(at least 4 different times)>just wait until nintendo does it>sony closes gaming studio(s)>just wait until nintendo does it>sony (and microsoft) lay off employees >just wait until nintendo does it>sony adds online drm>just wait until nintendo does it
>>737779713The Kinect was more intrusive and could have been a surveillance system too. The PS5 is DRM, not surveillance unless the controllers microphone acts as one.>sony heard me say nigger faggot retard el oh el
>>737779916It's not about us having internet it's about their servers staying online.
>>737779951snoys always have Nintendo on their minds.
>>737780048>getting fucked in the ass is worse than getting fucked in the throatel oh el
>>737778424so? first of all everything still works just fine (I have a ps triple also btw)you said servers, not the store, and even then it's an almost 20 year old console, only a lazy person didn't hack it yet and emulation is getting betterso, considering that the first statement you made is objectively false, then>By that timetable the PS4 store will be shut down in 2029is also random irrelevant bullshit>>737778892no he's full of shit, everything is working, yes they added some bullshit for the login (one time thing) because it's an old ass system, but nothing was shutdown, as matter of fact it's the last 7th gen console still alive effectively (especially because the online is free)>>737778428yeah ok but I own consoles, pctards can get fucked that's none of my business>>737778515>Every online service will shut down eventually you underage fucking chilagain, why would they if they rely on them for revenuebut yeah obviously eventually it will happen, my issue was singling out sony or anyone else specifically when it obviously interests everyone involved>Sony already tried to shut down PS3 servers once.again, at least check before typing your bullshitnot the servers, the store, and they didn't, and it's the last 7th gen functioning console currently available
>>737780048Good thing Sony doesn't have a kinec-
>>737780048Too bad people don't give a shit about privacy these days. And by people I mean normalfag goy cattle.>>737779602Ah, that PS commercial where some guy lent a game by just passing a CD, right? It was pretty based.
>>737780102underageb& >>737780176You're a retard especially if you ever defended Steam in the past. Stones in a glass house kid.>>737780228Pity that it's not mandatory like the 2014 Kinect or else, you'd be on something.>>737780302You jest but it's true, retarded gen z cattle don't care about lack of privacy and i've witnessed these opinions IRL.
>>737780048>sony actually invented the eyetoy, and microsoft copied them to make the kinect
>>737780471Yes and eyetoy worked offline on the PS2. Are you saying MS copy Sony because Sony also copied paid online and so did Nintendo./v/ will be kill if the fat fuck dies and the next guy add a fee to Steam online in a few years.
>>737779713Because playstation is a brand for goycattle.
>>737779713Because they can get away with it? They literally get billions a year from F2P tards, gachafags, PSN, and sportsball normalfags. And they'll get billions more from GTA6 in November.
>>737780625So does MS, Nintendo and Valve. What are you trying to teach us kiddo?
If it wasn't real Sony would have come out and made a very clear and definitive statement to deboonk it. The fact that they havent confirms that it's real. The confusion is 100% intentional. They want to muddy the waters to avoid controversy. So eventually people just move on and accept it. It's why this news dropped on a friday too. Makes the shit sandwich easier to swallow
>>737780417>>737780676Hey kiddo, I know you really want the others to be as Sony, but right now, in this moment, Sony is being the greedy kikes here. Take your lumps and get that PeniS+ out of your mouth.
>>737780812(me)*you really want the others to be as bad as Sony*areel oh el
>>737780730you're right, however generating outrage about it isn't bad as backpedaling is not out of the question for them if theres enough of it
>>737780672They make an addictive product then they make said product grindy and they give you the P2W options for impatient retards. That's how GTAO makes so much money. I thought it was trash and boring in 2013 and just stopped playing permanently.>>737780812I hate them all faggot. Take your ball and walk away. They're all greedy kikes just like your US government.
>>737780676>B-but what about the others??!!Ooooof Snoys are up to a long day
It's ok when Nintendo does it though.
>>737777806>Make your service worse for all your paying customers because of a few pirates who will just sidestep this shit anywayRIP Sony.

>>737777806the great news is that people will now learn how to dump their games to be free of this mess which is only a gateway to homebrew, discovering emulators, playing other games like nintendo and xbox annnnnnnnd thats how you lose fans.

Very few of us own a PlayStation or pay for games anyway, our business is worth losing from the corpo pov.This would matter if NoGamesStation had anything worth playing.
>>737778203>bro thinks the ps5 server is going awayRetard. The only way that happens is if PlayStation itself “dies”, psn stores aren’t separated by console anymore
>>737777971>huge amount of console players returning to disc only gamingBASED, thanks Sony
>>737782752The big problem is that they can no longer fit a game on one disc. They'd need 2 for playstation and 3 for xbox.Not only that but the 20+ updates post launch to finish the game.

>>737782951that's really cool then, guess it's just a gaming version of the Dennis the Menace coincidence
>>737777806Shills, answer this one simple question:How does this benefit the customer.
Sony becoming worse and worse is a great thing, makes casuals and gamers realize they were always shit so they'll go to Nintendo instead. Sony is gonna have to eat a lot of humble pie when they see people aren't buying PS6
>>737783149So true, I already have metal slug and NTM on MVS but I really want AES versions of each and the new addition to the latter is a good excuse to buy it as well. I'm hoping to get that MVS to AES convertor for my other games since the guy that makes it, furrtek, is also involved with the AES+ and stated they would work.
>>737783157It never does and they try to spin it to anti-piracy or homebrews or whatever. The last time vidya wasn't anti consumer was during the early 7th gen and even then, paid online on the 360 was bullshit.You'd have to go back in the 6th gen and pre-Steam era of gaming.
>>737783157>How does this benefit the (fucking over of our) customer.Ftfy
>>737783275Nintendo still don't have trophies after all these years lmaoooThey'll go to PC/the high seas
I will never understand the amount of autism it takes for pc troons to write off consoles for not having exclusives. Playing on pc is a pain in the ass 90% of the time for little improvement, obviously I’m going to play mutiplats on my ps5 pro on a nice ass tv on my living room couch more often than not. Some of you retards actually play non-fps games like platformers and action games with a mouse and keyboard, you’re actually that ill
>>737783157>online verification it's a net nothing burger, its nether win nor a loss
>>737783456Nintendo is trashfire and achievements were a mistake. It spawned a new type of autism on consoles. Back then, chores in-game unlocked things within the game itself.
So do you lose the game if you don't connect for 30 days or are you just not able to play it offline and just have to connect to get access again? Either situation is gay but I just can't imagine them actually getting away with the former (they probably will).
>>737783456>Nintendo still don't have artificial checklists that serve as psychological traps>They're focused on the intrinsic joy of play (at $70~80 full price)Good for them, I never owned a Nintendo home console btw (counting the Switches).
>>737783629>are you just not able to play it offline and just have to connect to get access again?that's the one, you can't play them unless you go back online or their servers go back online
>>737783589As much as I dislike Nintendo this generation, I'm glad they at least haven't given into cheevo junkies yet.
>>737778203That was over nine years ago, dipshit. Nobody cares if the poor little faggot who chooses to fight Trump’s war in 2026 doesn’t get to play offline cod on his night shift
>>737783583Why should a console need online verification? Disregard game development bloat and mandatory game updates but you should be able to play everything downloaded on the console if you yank out the Ethernet cable for 5 years or whatever.>>737783702Can you imagine? They'd make bank from autists who triple and quadruple dip on purchases because they'd farm their little Nintendo points to show everyone on (r)eddit or something.
This is a “new” thing to you guys? My clock battery stopped working in my soft-modded ps3 like two years ago so I always have to go online and set it to play my psn games
>Nintendo derailthe snoy's playbook
>>737783861>Can you imagine? They'd make bank from autists who triple and quadruple dip on purchases because they'd farm their little Nintendo points to show everyone on (r)eddit or something.It's horrid seeing how much they've already been rewarded blindly this generation. Imagining it multiplied by three-four times is actually demoralizing.
>>737782932When they push for cloud gaming they'll stop even making disks. Consoles will become subscription PCs that can only access specific services, no pirating possible. They'll never actually own their games and Snoys wont notice the difference since they never had any in the first place.

>>737784376>holy shit guys have you SEEN recent Famitsu and Zelda threads??? oh my god we need to up our game PRONTO
>>737784272I was thinking about AAA but yes there's a website where you can check if console games can be played right out of the box, in offline, with or without day one patch etc. Many games are fully on disk on both PS/Xbox although many of them require the day one update for a better experience.
>>737784243Date and time doesn’t stick between power off and power on, which it apparently needs to verify my (stolen) licenses.

I'm hiding this trash instantly but mods are biased faggots is my explanation.>>737784568I remember cheesing the clock to bypass Boringland raid limits per day but the PS3 once went into APOCALYPS3 with its clock for everyone at some point. Shit by design from the old guard.
>>737780991>I hate them all faggot.it's genuinely jarring that whenver anyone fucks up it's all criticism but when sony does it fags like you crawl from the sewers to scream "B-BUT EVERYBODY ELSE"
>>737784458>still butthurt over Japanese numbersel oh el
>>737784763you sound like a butt hurt snoy
>>737784763See (You) next Thursday.
>>737784770>more low IQ posting because [my company] was lumped with [other company] You replied to me and you're an idiot.>>737784831>criticize sony shit design >y-you're a snoy u mad Who said i can't criticize everything i want to nigger? Go take a hike bitch. >>737784949You can't see me.
>>737777998Because if Nintendo did it you would be screaming from the top of your lungs
>still not a single post explaining how this benefits customers
>>737777998>go on holiday>simply have other shit going on in life>want to play a game in your library you last played years agoTaking that away is the most jewish jewry that ever jewed
They should do this for physical games too so it would be funnier.
>>737784990>You can't see me.https://youtu.be/oiHvu4RfNNw?si=TFwgkWRoCbp_x2x9&t=116>>737785021The customer?
>>737785021No shit because everyone is against it. Keep bumping and baiting, someone will pretend to be shill to farm (You)s and lulz in another thread maybe.>>737785093Fuck you faggot. Don't give these greedy kikes any ideas.
>>737785021benefits?
>>737785008so you admit your issue isn't with the practice itself but who does it first
>>737783456>They'll go to PC/the high seasPC is best secondary platform for piracy but they'll never get Nintendo exclusives. I need mah Smash etc.
>>737785167>You can't see meI thought you'd post something related to John Cena, i'm disappointed. I guess all /pw/ fags are watching RAW now.
>>737780417I wasn't jesting, anon. I was actually serious.
>>737784763>Can someone legit explains why Famitsu generals are allowed on /v/?Pure spite that transcends 4chan. You got your bullshit famitsu ban on resetera, so we get our generals on /v/. Next time play your cards better.
>>737784990>more deflectionjust bite the bullet at this point nigger. it's a consistent pattern. whenever sony fucks something up you have the sony defense force working overtime to deflect to other companies
>>737785195No. My issue is with the practise. Genuinely. But the reason I'm ridiculing you on /v/ is because you're a massive hypocrite. These things can both be true.
>>737785280Can't call me unoriginal.
>>737778292This is not true, you can put Steam on offline mode and play everything without connection. The deal of PlayStation is now worse than Steam.
>>737777998>PSN is shutdown for the platform you want to play games on>Fuck you no more gamesNigger cattle is killing us all
>>737778403Literally paid online.
So far in this thread we have>Steam requires always online to play games>Wii, Wii U, DS and 3DS don't let you download your games anymoreThese are both lies that snoys need to not look like clowns.
>>737785462I know you are.>>737785512I don't use pedo websites /l/ no longer exists on 4chan >>737785813You act surprised that a console war thread is about console warring. Lurk moar.>>737785983You're right but i didn't watch it though.
You see if you faggot snoys ever complained about anything Sony did maybe you wouldn't have different prices depending on your account, monthly checks on your games, woke sequels and no exclusives.
A hard truth some here aren't ready for: Nintendo has nothing to do with this. Bringing them up adds nothing to the conversation. They're not the ones that made sony add this DRM shit.
>>737786165You're just replying to collect (You)s at this point.
>>737786234Yes they are because Nintendo is adding this in the future, influencing Sony right now.
>>737783985When that happens, they won't sell anything anymore.
>>737786406Fortnight.
>>737786406kek, sony is always copying nintendo, even copying them from the future
>>737786329I generally reply to whoever respond, old habits never change. (You)s are only a QoL feature, i don't farm that shit like some autists here after they make a troll/bait 1pbtid and fuck off from X thread.
>>737777806>Fights tooth and nail to defend getting fucked in the ass>Invents “anonymous sources” that supposedly claim it was just a bugSnoys aren’t fucking human.
>>737779028Xboxfags had enough integrity to push back.Snoys are just cattle programmed to bend over even harder
>>737783589>>737783642>no trophies/achievements>no reason to keep playing>don't bother buying the game(s)Bravo Nintendo
>>737777806yea we just happened code all this bullshit by accident, haha
>snoy Tourists doesn't know that it used to be "Sony roaches" the original insult made by the Japanese back in the good old days.>M$ Good one still.>Nintendon't Kinda archaic since SEGA is dead.>>737786771Not sure if you missed the point but if there was achievements on the Nintendo, fanboys would triple dip into buying third party games to farm Nintendo points.
>>737777806>turn on a 30 year old game system>it worksstop playing modern shit
If you're wondering how snoys are coping >>737778576With Nintendo, of course!
>>737782752That gator looks so regal. He's like royalty, and he closes his mouth majestically.
>>737787078>all those totally not-samefagging replies. it's a good thing we don't have famitsu this week or he might have spammed CP again.
>>737786891Snoy was also made by a Jap.
>>737786891I think snoy was invented by 2channel or something. It only picked up here because sony(gger) got filtered.>fanboys would triple dip into buying third party games to farm Nintendo points.What are you talking about? Club Nintendo points that you got only for registering Nintendo games?
>>737787214Snoy was created when a japanese dev typo'd Sony as Snoy.
>>737782173No way kikes hated him
>>737786891>>737787192First use of SNOY
>>737787192I honestly can't remember which year it spawned but it was during 8th gen. It's short and does the job but i think sony(gger) is funnier but that's just me.>>737787214Is that filtered? Test i guess(edit) LMAO 4chan detected spam. I mean points like achievements and trophies.
>>737787341Thanks archivist anon.
>>737787402Luckily it's still allowed on /vr/ with the other console war slurs.>I mean points like achievements and trophies.Nintendo systems have never had achievements or trophies.
>Ps5 gets a unpatchable hack>sony adds strict drm to new digital purchasesare they stupid?
>>737787754They're complacent. They know they can get away with it and will push it as far as they can.
>>737788094That's why Xbox has to stay in the biz. Sony needs competition or else we have this shit right now.>NintendoHaven't been in direct comp since 6th gen >Steam Not relevant to console ecosystems including the Nintendo
>>737777806What happened to the "inside sources" that confirmed this was just a bug? All the snoys were running that damage control yesterday
>>737777806I was thinking on buying a ps5 because I wanted a console, I guess I have to buy the Shit 2, which almost as anti consumer
>>737788604>Haven't been in direct comp since 6th genThen why is everyone making their own Switch-likes?
>>737777806I have rarely used my ps5, ive used the dualsense more on my PC. I actually think it was a waste, i'd sell it if it wasnt getting gta6 before PC. then ill sell it.anyways, this is absolute cancer, they are doing this because god forbid a user sells a console with games they bought and another user plays them, in extremely niche situations.
>>737788705Enjoy :)
>>737788710Because it's extremely easy to make a better handheld than the overpriced plastic tendies use, meanwhile no one can make a better console than PlayStation.
>>737788798Thanks for the laugh, bud. I really needed it.
>>737788639Twatter users are paid to make shit up 24/7. In this day and age, you want official statements but they always delay for PR purposes until the can of worm is open.This DMR news will spread like wildfire and Sony cunts will have to respond in return.>>737788710The big 3 have been copying each others for as long as the PS1 spawned. SEGA was replaced by MS so it was always the big 3 technically speaking.>handheldGay and retarded, never buying any of this stupid shit from anyone.
>>737788705Looks like you're waiting for a Steam Machine.. or Steam Deck with dock, really
>>737789054i'm not considering a steam kek until it gets a hardware refresh, which will take fucking forever for obvious reasons
>>737789097Looking for something slimmer? More powerful? What are you looking for in a handheld?
>>737788798Ignore games and nogaems but the Xbox hardware and how it handle BC and 8th gen to 9th upgrades makes it better than the PS5 by default.If the Bone wasn't a complete PR disaster, we'd have better things today.Even if the Wii U didn't fail, everything would be different because Nintendo would have been closer to the other 2 in hardware and features.8th gen was shit and the CELL a big mistake.
>>737789054I wanted to buy a Deck but unfortunately it's not sold in my country which makes the damn thing ridiculously expensive to import>>737788759Not sure I would, most new Nintendo games don't interest me and the lineup right now seems pretty weak, I'd unironically just use it for Duskbloods and old games which I think are wayyy too overpriced
>>737789327I say this as a Nintendo fanboy, it's better to wait till there are enough games for you to enjoy. I'm obviously loving the games I've played Bananza is fantastic but different strokes.>Deck not sold in my countryeBay?
>>737789327>I wanted to buy a Deck but unfortunately it's not sold in my countryhell anon, it's not sold in the USi have no idea if anyone can buy a new one anymore
>>737789165A 7090.
>>737777806Glad I built a PC last year. Fuck Sony.
>>737789252>Nintendo would have been closer to the other 2 in hardware and features.and they would have been fucking dead if they did the stupid graphics race shit
>>737777806i hate them so much bros
>>737777998WE MUST BE BETTER CONSUMERS
>>737777971Because they bought the digital only PS5.
>>737789970>graphicslol when the NintendoSwitch run games at PS3 levels of performance it's not about graphics. Switch 2 is now at PS4 levels. Even the 9th gen systems(PS/Xbox) can't do solid 60fps at all times even on some older games. Switch 3 in 2032 will finally hit 60fps on low graphical fidelity games, maybe.
>>737777930>Sony tries to shut down ps3 store>huge outrage so they backtrack on it>a week or two later nintendo shuts down the wiiu store>complete silence. Like maybe 1 or 2 threads about it.
>>737779241The playstation has OCD.
>>737777806Does sony have servers? What happens if they shut down servers for the PS5?
>>737784317You might not have to play it, just allow the PS to send and use your data to give a great picture of what your gaming habits are. When its turned on, when you sleep, ping wifi around your home to create 3D virtual map etc
>>737790225>Pragmata on Switch 2 outperforms the PS5RIP
>>737777806this is literally the same thing as steam's offline modei don't know why retards are having a meltdown over this but gayben gets a pass as always
>>737790297Same thing as in what happens when Valve, MS and Nintendo servers get EMP'd. You lose most of everything that wasn't stored on your drivers and anything with DRM gets locked after the timer expire.>>737790404A pedo movie game running better on a non movie game system you say? Sony done fucked it up with Crapcum.
>>737777998Because it's a step closer to the enshittification games as a service they want to lead us towards that needs to be pushed back at every step.
>>737790563It was your pedo movie until it was announced for Switch 2.
>>737790458Dude, I had the physical copy of sekiro for Xbox one S and my internet was out and it STILL wouldn’t start. That was literally the moment I jumped off Xbox for good. That was fucking 7 years ago now, never had that issue with PlayStation. These kids don’t know how bad things already are.
>>737790458Even if steam were to disappear right now people could still get games elsewhere. PC gaming is decentralized like that.How will PS4 games phone home 20-30 years from now when the servers for this shit might not even be online anymore? All you'll have is a brick, especially now since so many physical games require a day one patch.
>don't own your PlayStation games >don't even own your PlayStation saves (mandatory fee for cloud storage and you can no longer backup PS5 saves to USB)What's next? You won't own your console either? Or maybe you don't already. Is there a way for Sony to brick my PS5?
>>737790254Tendies, your response?
>>737790657There are retards here trying to paint a picture that Xbox is great and wouldn't do it when they already did.
>>737790706Exactly. Where were these heckin wholesome chudarinos 7 years ago? I guess they were probably too busy shitposting the last of us 2 or something.
>>737790702>redownloads my Wii U games
Sony lost the very second that Atlus games were no longer exclusive.
>>737790854You would’ve done the same on ps3. Except now the ps3 store exists and the wiiu one doesn’t.
>>737790706Xbox situation is entirelt different. You can play your owned games offline for however long now, the last time I checked, but you can't play gamepass games offline because there's no internal clock on xbox since they dont use a cmos battery for the internal clock like playstation. So its better in some ways and worse in others. Neither playstation or xbox allow you to unlock achievements when offline anymore in the current gen. I think they eventually patched ps4 to have this ability but ps5 can't. If you own a console in 2026 youre literally a cuckold. At least xbox doesn't lock cloud saves behind a subscription though.
>>737790967The PS3 had games?
>>737790679people will be jailbreaking their systems as alwaysthis is a worthless hypothetical anyways, both sony and steam aren't going to disappear before you die
>>737791007>uh…meme deflection!You never cared about consumer rights
>>737790952Pragmata is better than any Atlus game.
>>737786771>he needs arbitrary popups to enjoy a game
>>737791007Did the Wii U?
>>737790636The only Crapcum games i've played since Chaos Legion on PS2 is both Dragon's Dogma games. I don't"play" any movie games.
>>737791073You only care about "consumer's rights" when Sony takes their lefts.>>737791140Yep. The console wasn't good enough and they found a second life on Switch.
>>737791089KEKKKKKK DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THIS???!!! DOES NU-/V/ REALLY???!!!
>>737791219You don't play any games.
>>737778735You just know Sony wanted this all along
>>737790989That's going to change with Xbox Helix, since that's a Windows device. It'll be limited to a year before they pull the shit Sony pulls since Xbox PC does already.
>>737791290>game lets me shoot robots>as opposed to a "game" where I select stuff from a menu and watch a cutscene from Sailor MoonYes, Pragmata is better.
>>737791225I cared enough to ditch Xbox and Nintendo over it
>>737777806Xbox jeets pretending this is a problemSony chads can afford internet
>>737791290>beta simulator games vs pedo gameThis is hilarious. >>737791328You're a retard and you were grown on /v/.
>>737781197It doesn't affect me at this singular point in time, therefore it will never affect me.
>>737779713because xbox is dead and they have no competitionbecause the masses are heavily invested in their platform and with the economy being what it is, no one is going to want to build a new library on anew hardware
Literally who has had no internet for 30 days let alone 1 week in the last 20 years? Seriously, this is first world problem shit.
>>737791363Good goy. One month of PS+ has been deposited into your account.
>>737791481Snoys and Xbots deserve this, now this speeds up the process of Nintendo taking over console gaming and Valve taking over PC gaming, can't wait.
>>737791521more like third world problem
Don Mattrick won in the end. He got the world he wanted, and now people defend it as well.
>>737779713A year away from a new gen where valve and microsoft are releasing pc consoles too, in a time where teens and kids are increasingly more invested in pc gaming than consoles. Anecdotally every teen I know who's a gamer plays on at least a gaming laptop. My freaking nephew who's like 13 spend a whole 700 smackeroons of his pocket money on an ebay refurb gaming laptop..... to play fortnite and roblox.
>>737778403Nintendo used to on the Switch if you had more than one console. You didn't even get a 30 day grace period iirc, you HAD to have an internet connection if it wasn't your primary console. The virtual game card shit is somehow even worse because you can only have it connected to two consoles at once now.
>>737791631>The virtual game card shit is somehow even worseimagine believing this
>>737791757It's annoying as fuck if you have more than two Switches.
>>737791225>Yep.Which ones?The Zelda from a previous console?The other Zelda from a previous console?The worst-received Zelda?The Zelda from a subsequent console?
history repeats itself
>>737791898>d-d-doesn't count
>>737777998My brother in law and sis live at a ranch and they get little to no internet there. This will unironically make them jump to the switch full time. They've been loving the hand me down switch I gave them since I got my switch 2.
>>737792026Get a job, tranny
>>737792247>being a farmer in trump’s economyRip
>>737791542>Nintendo taking over console gamingnot going to happen as long as nintendo is just a kids game console with non viable hardware for 3rd party games
>>737791757Dude it sucks. We used to have to buy a game tops 2 times for the 4 of us to play. Now that's fully dead. The new sharing is also very limited. There are times when I'm in japan or traveling and can't play a game I bought because I didn't load the cart or I've had "out of region" issues. The old system was neat and customer support were the one's that helped us set it up
>>737792312Lol they're doing better than me and I have a 4 year degree. Don't bring your shitty politics in where they don't belong
>snoys defending this after spending an entire year telling tendies they don't own their switch 2 games
sonysisters, the aquajeet's laughing at us
>>737778109>slippery slopePlease dont use the name of a fake fallacy, it lends legitimacy to the idea that its just a conspiracy, its called gradualism or incrementalism and its an often used tactic, because it works.
The link is to a spic infested x post with no evidence but retards are eating it up for some reason
But I was told by consolefags that they own their games where as I, a pcfag, do not.
All of this because sony are too retarded to design an air tight system which can't be jailbroken so they have to make everyone else suffer for it.
>>737792482>no evidence it's real beyond social media posts with no credibile sources
>>737792683They're referring to physical media, not digital licenses you disengenious faggot
>>737792707I know right. You obviously own the GKCs and you only need one download in the beginning to play.
>>737778179I wonder does this also apply to dlc?Say you bought the gold edition of a vidya (physical) but because publishers are greedy fucks the disc is just the original and the gold edition content is on a dlc code.Do I now have to sign in every 30 days to use the dlc for a game I have on disc?Im gonna guess its a yeah too.
>>737792660We live in an Outrage Society. Whoever complains the loudest wins, even if they're lying.
More fake Twitter posts. Yawn. Is this your plan to kill PlayStation before gta6 comes out?
>>737792660Video link here:https://x.com/i/status/2048538082857861486Sony support confirming it here:https://x.com/i/status/2048884644305649921
>>737792869GTA6 is coming out?
>>737792120The Wii U's legacy will always be the completely irrelevant stopgap.
>>737792707>no evidence it's realYou've been proven wrong so many times and you still believe it's a bug lmao
>>737792770No retard, I'm referring to the Sony DRM. Not a single person has produced a shred of evidence or credible source that's its real. The fact that faggots keep reporting false information is annoying
>>737792971>modded warfare isnt a credible source Underage please leave
>>737792872You stupid nigger that's from the playstation support AI which has already been stated to give different answers when asked the same question
>>737792872First post is a screenshot of a PlayStation Plus game showing it will "expire" because that's when the PS+ subscription expires.Second post is a Sony Support AI Chatbot response. Other AI responses like pic related claim the opposite.
>>737792872Non-issue really. The bot support says it “may expire until connected to the internet” so it’s not even 100% sure its a guarantee.
>>737792971>calls people retarded>is the biggest retard hereGlass houses.
>>737778424The PS3 storefront is up and running. I visited it two days ago.
>>737793079Oof. That’s what happens when non-PlayStation players try to ask support about a console they don’t own.
>tripster has entered the thread
https://youtu.be/dR_MPkTlrN8Spawn wave just tested it and its real. Damn.
>>737793189>finally hitting the big channelsOh hamburgers...
>>7377923983rd parties are already coming back to Nintendo, PlayStation will slowly die. The console market is Nintendo's.
>>737779057>Literally piracy is the only optionIve been saying for years that piracy is the only real way to own a video game.Remember drm is objectively evil, its coming for everything not just vidya, but your car now has on disc dlc, your fridge wanting an internet connection to show you ads.Corporations with their drm/spyware/malware are actively stealing and profiting from your data. Piracy is 100% morally correct, its simply self defence.If someone tries to kill you, you kill them.If they steal from you, then its not wrong to steal from them.Unless drm is dies, Piracy is OBJECTIVELY the morally correct choice.
>>737781197The Snoyim deserve worse.
>>737793132Not a single nigher has produced evidence of any policy beyond retarded AI chariot screens hots. Yes, everyone here is a retarded nigger. I'm convinced this world gets dumber with each subsequent generation
Sony is going to have to address this officially.
>"I-It's not really confirmed because the sony support isn't human!"tell your multi-billion dollar company to get a better chatbot AI instead of having this one that apparently spreads misinformation
>>737793260Piracybros... it's a bitter victory...
>>737792872You fucking idiots couldn't even be bothered to fucking fact check and took a retarded X post a face value
>>737793292We have. Multiple times. You just choose to ignore it.
>>737780048Yes the controller microphone is constantly recording you.You would have to be stupid not to know this.Your smart tv is doing the same btwLG Tos for example outright states that if you dont want them listening to a conversation, to unplug the tv.Some tvs also have cameras in them these days too.So do cars.They mandated that all new vehicles will have ai cameras inside that detect if the driver is drunk or distracted.
>>737793405>"correcting" the chatbot to get it agree with youHow pathetic can you be?
Notice all the sony shills arguing about the chatbot info and not the literal videos showing off the issue from two highly reputable sources
>>737777806how can sonyboys recover from this?
>>737793513That would imply they have PS5s. You'd be surprised how many don't have one.>>737793523By blaming Nintendo.
>>737779916>Sony servers go down>You get banned>theres an outage in your area because of a storm or something, damaged fiber optic cables or some other reason.>not to mention the reality of chinas social credit system which digitally isolates anyone who goes against the system is already being copied and built in the west. So you do something zog doesnt like and well now your playstation games are subject to removal aswell as all the other ways they cancel you.
You now realise this will fuck over the future potential PlayStation handheld more than anything.
>>737777998>your mind on consoleniggery
>>737777806What does everyone think this is? It’s literally just a 30 day verification. No, they do not take the games away, you just have to connect to the internet every so often. And it doesn’t even apply to digital games bought until now
>>737780938This is why they havent announced it.Lets them test the waters and see how much backlash it gets.If the backlash is within an acceptable limit they will keep it, if the backlash is too much then they will say it was a bug and then someone (Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo) will try again years later, repeat until it sticks and then all the other companies copy.
>>737793513Notice how nintendo shills are the only ones complaining about this issue?

>>737793820It was the hardcore PlayStation community who actually broke the news. Guys like Lance McDonald who gave us modded bloodborne on ps4. Your Nintendo boogeyman doesn't exist.
>>737793820BUT NINTENDO!!!
Why do you still pay for 1s and 0s in specific configurations in the Year of Our Lord 2026?
>>737793913You're getting raped by your friends at sony and all you can do is think about nintendo lol
>>737793883(me)>>737793885
>>737793935Look at all the typical nintendie reaction images in the thread jackass. They basically asking to be called out. Some are even blatantly glazing nintendo between rants about sony.
>>737794039See >>737793971
>>737782932Sony owns bluray which can produce up to 128gb discs.
>>737794039>the reaction images actually bother him
>>737793638>wide outage across the world>forced to touch grassNOOOO NOOOOO not like that!
>buy crimson desert on disk>doesnt even come with the full game >buy it digitally >will have to abide by the shitty DRM check ins This is why you buy games on PC, back up your save games locally and let the piracy GODS do their thing so you can have an unlimited use offline copy till we all die in WW3 because trump couldn't take israels dick out of his ass.
>>737794070>brings up rapeOh great it’s this fucking schizo again. Surprised you’re showing some restraint and not calling everyone Eric for once.
>>737783583Just wait until its pairred with age verification (actually identity verification) to stop account sharing. Then you'll have to scan your face every 30 days to prove its still you.
>>737793510That's the point you dumb nigger. Either the chat bothers is correct or it isn't. You faggots can't have it both ways
>>737794094They don’t actually, makes it easier to spot the trannies and niggers
>>737790189Lol, fagets
>>737794171Don't forget you have yell "Mcdonald's!"
>>737783456Trophies/Achivements/Playtime calculation = Spyware.The point of achivements is to datamine how many and which players acomplished/did certain things in game.
>>7377935132 slop tubers using an AI Chabot is not proof
>>737790679>All you'll have is a brick, especially now since so many physical games require a day one patch.Only the shitty ones.
>>737777806Why is this a problem? Not like there's any games that would use this DRM.
>>737794235What isn’t spyware? If they added achievements to your platform you’d eat them up
>>737793883>>737793885>1 second apartKINO
>>737779713No its not. Xbone was about not letting you use your physical games in a normal, sane matter like every previous console and also some mandatory online shit, which still got through regardless since you couldn't even use the pos without setting up an online account.
>>737794175You want the chatbot to agree with you and you hate it when it doesn't. Now keep browsing an see the actual evidence that been thrown at you. >>737794214Sure bud
>>737794338>When the new discord raid drops
>>737786059Kanye was rightSlavery is a choiceAnd currently everyone is actively choosing to be a slave.
Christ yet another thing to make me lose sleepI dont think I want to buy another game for my PS5 anymoreI'm afraid to even turn on that thing now
>>737794376you can't buy digital games without setting up an account. now you will never be able to play your favorite games some years down the line after PS4 access to PSN is disallowed for security reasons.
>>737794124>buy games on PC
>>737794423>doesn't believe in meme magicalso projection>>737794457It doesn't have games so no real need to turn it on.
>>737777806How does this effect DLC to games you purchase either digitally before the March 2026 date or actual physical games you own? Would you also be locked out of DLC?
>>737794490Sure, but you dont need to literally activate your ps5 online (well i guess digital you do/if you add a disc drive) before it would work out of the box, which is what Microsoft ended up doing.
>>737787754This is to normalise it for ps6.
>>737793435And that's from the DRM big you fucking disengenious piece of shit, which explicitly only affects PS4 consoles. You niggers should be reading the bot post. Which says it's for PS5 consoles. Dumb lying niggers everywhere
>>737794562Stellar Blade and Astro BotI have physical copies for both but I dont think I want to touch them for a while until I hear that Sony fixes this issue.
>according to snoys the 30 day online check-in is a bug and the chatbot is spreading misinformationSnoys are trying to make sony not look scummy by making them look incompetent instead
>>737777806
This effects me in zero ways since my system has never been tainted by internet aids and all my games are on disc. Still big gay on snoys part though.
>>737794645what's the cope >>737793189(here)?>>737794652>fixes this issueYou can't fix what wasn't broken. This is their plan.
>>737789252>If the Bone wasn't a complete PR disaster, we'd have better things today.If the bone wasnt a pr disaster we would have had this same shit 10 years earlier.Neither of these companies care about you, the only reason any of these companies will ever have for doing anything pro consumer would be to gain an advantage over one of the other conpanies. But like most corpos they collabirate instead, so we never get good things.
>>737794402OK faggot, either the chat bot is telling the truth about DRM policy consistently, or it's just giving answers based on what retards are putting in. Once again, you can't have it both ways
>>737794402>all these smug tendies popping off when pic related is happening
>>737794609Yeah but what is the real functional difference anyway? Most will go online on their PS5 at some point. The issue is Sony can now vanish your purchases any time they want to stop supporting PS4 digital games. They only walked back PS3 store being closed after a big shitstorm. PSP wasn't so lucky. Eventually PS4 digital games are all gone. The only thing stopping it will be if people throw a big enough shitstorm to save "their" games
>>737794823just switch to online license mode
what is actually the point of this? if you jailbreak the console can't you just get around it anyway?
>>737793189HE RESET THE CMOS YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER! THAT INVALIDATES ANY LICENSE ON THE CONSOLE UNTIL YOU RECONNECT TO THE INTERNETEvery fucking PS console does this. It's a major issue for the PS3!
Console goyim will slurp this up
>>7377948232. More. Weeks.>>737794764Could you say that a little less pissy? But you're totally not upset.
>>737794936Normal people don't want to have to do some convoluted process like that just to play games they paid for. Not to mention who knows if the current ps5 firmware allows it.
>>737794950really? cause he was still able to load games he purchased digitally more than a month ago
>>737778292Maybe you should shut up if you don't have any idea what you're talking about.
>>737794936This is the stop the jailbreak exploits which so far use exploited save games in certain games in older versions of the ps5 operating system. With this 30 day check in going forward it basically removes that ability.
>>737794950Protip, anon: All CMOS batteries eventually fail in years--my PS3 CMOS battery lasted a little over a decade and thats it.
>>737795017i mean why add this restriction in the first place if not to stop jailbroken consoles from being able to load games they shouldn't be, but like its not going to stop that anyway
>>737794823Works fine on my machine
>>737794950>it's totally within Sony's right to restrict the game you just bought when you change the CMOSSpoken like a proper puppet
>>737795105it doesn't matter why they are adding it, only that it screws paying customers
>>737790657Xbox doesnt even give you achivements anymore if you're offline.They unlock when you connect to the internet (not the same thing as syncing to your profile because they actively dont pop up on your offline profile until you connect to the internet) theres also a local limit for how many (completed the requirements but not unlocked because you havent been online) achivements.If you gain more than 50 achivements offline then the console will start forgetting ones you already unlocked and you then wont get them when you go online.This is yet another choice and while achivements might not seem important its yet more corporate hostility to the offline gamer.
>>737789252>If the Bone wasn't a complete PR disaster, we'd have better things todaySo what, they should have been more clear about how customers would be getting ass fucked and that would have suddenly made people come around to buying the bone?
>>737790679Ps5 has an unpatchable exploit.Even the pros are compromised.Worst case scenario jailbreak your ps5
Does any other fanbase eat as much shit as Sony fanboys? aren't they overdue for yet another ps+ price increase?
>>737795108Nigger, there's a world of difference between cmos fuckery and DRM
>>737795234can it allow disc drives to bypass the online check in?>>737795251functionally the result is the same, customer is screwed, money stolen
>>737791481Why the fuck did we ever accept games being system locked?If a game is exlusive then its understandable but for a multiplatform game I should be able to buy the game and play it on both xbox and playstation.Like a dvd player, imagine if you bought madoka magica on dvd but it only worked in phillips dvd players and if you wanted it to play on your panasonic dvd player you needed to buy the specific panasonic version.Why the fuck do we accept this for vidya games?
>>737795239Funnily enough, there was one for Southeast Asian countries recently. But another one has been rumored.
>>737795479you can't play blurays on hd dvd players either
>>737792707Its real.Its just not """confirmed""" to be a permenant feature.They are keeping their options to pretend it was a bug if the backlash gets too bad
>>737792247then how the fuck are they downloading digital games to begin with retard
>>737793079You should specify digital gamesBecause when you say "dont go online" it assumes you mean ever and thus are only capable of using discs.
It's funny how xbox is going through a generational high right now across social media while this is probably a generational low for playstation on social media too. The tweets and youtube comments about this are just full of people saying theyll never buy digital again. And we're a couple of weeks away from forza horizon 6 coming out exclusively not on playstation despite the last game selling a shit ton on playstation. Its small but compounding things like this which end up moving the needle. New xbox ceo couldn't have asked for a better starting gift.
>>737795659he said it was a hand me down you fucking nigger monkey
>>737794124This is probably going to apply to dlc too.Probably not with day 1 updates (yet)
>>737795627This isn't the first time Sony had a license bug, the PS3 had one a few years back. This entire thing is dumb niggers being dumb niggers looking to be outraged
>>737777806move to PC you fucking retards you dont own your games anymore pirate their shit
>>737794219Its probably gonna be>say something pro israel
>>737793405>phoneposter
>>737795827>make them jump to the switch full timemeaning they own a ps5 and would be affecterd by this if it's real. Meaning they somehow are able to buy and download digital games but won't be able to connect every 30 days somehow
>>737794305No, I hate them.I have a ps5, xbox, switch 2 and a gaming pc.Achivements are spyware tho, and i'd be happy if playstation, xbox and steam removed them, aswell as removing the hours played spyware too.It wont happen tho, so I'll keep pirating stuff so I dont have to deal with achivements/playtime
>use Debian on PC so I don't have to updoot>use Lutris and Bottles to launch most games that are locally installed so I rarely even have to interact with Steam or any online service>fill console hard drive with games then take it offline for months so I can just turn it on and play with zero interruptionsComputers are supposed to do what you say when you say. The second you have to wrap your own human schedule around when a machine will push an updoot you are now allowing the computer to tell you how to live. Any machine that does not respect your authority should get the Office Space treatment. Butlerian Jihad NOW
>>737778670>Nintendo already does this with NSO downloads.This is about all Sony digital content being attached to a guaranteed countdown to destruction, not just the "free" crap that comes with your paid subscriptions. Hell they already did it with their movies and shows if you were retarded enough to buy them digitally through their proprietary service.
>>737780213>again, why would they if they rely on them for revenueThey don't make money off discontinued products. Have you tried going to Circuit City to buy a top of the line Sony Bravia lately?
>>737794609They dont make non slim ps5s anymore.All pros require the internet if you add the disc drive.Idk about the slim consoles that come with the drive in the box, but id assume its exactly the same.
>>737794645>that's from the DRMYeah anon we've been talking about the drm the whole time.It does affect ps5 aswell because its not a bug you dumb shit.
>>737795017The ps5 has an unpatchable ring 0 exploit.
>>737796343You stupid motherfucker, the only evidence you posted was a sloptuber who reset his PS5 cmos, which invalidates all game licenses. That's not proof of drm, and Sony has already said it was a fucking bug, it's happened before on the PS3
>>737780048you'd be on something...... :^)
>>737779241Perhap's you're hard drive may have aid's and it's sector's might be corrupting
>>737795291>can it allow disc drives to bypass the online check in?Not yet but it should be possible.
>>737795598Both xbox and playstation use bluray.
>>737796587>which invalidates all game licensesexcept the ones he purchased before the test. You seem to be skipping that part. Weird.
>>737796015I think its silly to assume this is a bug.I also think its silly to assume last time was genuinely a bug either.You have to learn that corporations are capable of lying.
>>737777998>just accept even less ownership of your purchases bro it's not like they will keep pushing itfaggotIf I pay money for a product, the company I bought it from should never have the right to claim it back no matter what the circumstances are.Snoys accepting this would be cucked on a much higher level than ever before.
>>737777806SCAN YOUR FACE TO PLAY FOR 1 HOUR OF ALLOWED GAMING THIS WEEK.
>>737796191Nta but>Rural living>Big tornado comes through>No internet>No vidya>Just go outside
>>737796587>Sony has already said it was a fucking bug,No they havent, conviniently they have stated fuck all about it because it gives them the best position to make their next move.
>>737795750Microsoft is astroturfing the shit out the Xbox right now. It's all going to come crashing down when the full information regarding Xbox Project Helix comes out since Microsoft is being quiet for a reason. Normals will have two choices by then, either prove that they're actual gamers and get Steam Hardware and or a Switch 2, or drop gaming as a hobby since they will no longer have a place to run to. The book on PlayStation and Xbox are about to finally come to an end.
I don't ever want to hear anything about "_____ are the new snoys" ever again because no one will ever replace snoys, they are the crowned kings of faggots.
>>737797838PlayStation is doing fine.
>>737798129For now
>>737798190Steam can barely sell a handheld and their home console is going to do the same maybe worse. PlayStation is the biggest high end hardware/platform owner out there. Valve is having a hard time with hardware and Xbox is just almost finished.
>>737798260Valve sells their hardware directly to consumers. They don't sell it in retailers and they don't have a massive global market. Valve also barely markets their products. If Sony doesn't address this, PlayStation may be finished.
>>737798032>Snoy are the Bejitabros of the gaming industryKekaroo.
>>737798260Maybe if valve sold the steam deck in stores and didnt require you giving your real address to steam in order to purchase one, maybe it would have sold better.
>>737779713Sony has been doing all sorts of bad, horrible shit that would have gotten Nintendo and Microcock hanged like the niggers they are. The only reason they keep getting away with it is because they don't draw any attention to it and always cover it up with other "news" to focus on instead, such as every PS+ price hike being hidden behind a game announcement or trailer drop.
>>737782000It's funny because Sony was planning to axe used games too, which was proven when pirates found dummied out code in early PS4 titles, and the only reason they didn't say anything about that was because they had an entire day to change their presentation after Microcock went on stage first.
>>737782207Valve still hasn't released the Steam Machine so there's that.
>>737777806Steam does the same shit and not get shit on by 4chan
>>737799684It doesn't, Snoy bitch
>>737799364Alot of that shit is simply sony playing heel currently while microsoft stealithly implements the same thing, the same way that microsoft played heel with the paid online that sony copied.Age verificiation for example is now on psn and xbl.
>>737800015Microsoft can't turn face when they're about the release the more expensive console ever produced while having the most locked down PC ever produced. Microsoft has their own PC disaster waiting to happen. Those normalfags who keep swapping between PlayStation and Xbox are about to be in for a rude awakening come next gen. We're getting 2006 Sony and 2013 Microsoft next year.
Nintendo won
>>737777806No worry. Stop Killing Games will bend Pony's knees.
>>737799773Yes it does Steamdrone faggot
>>737802260see >>737794823
>>737778109Let the normies fall for it. Faggot kids with no ethics will lap that shit up and say they're never disconnected from the Internet, but we'll have to wait for shit to go wrong before that retards will admit it's just theft.
>>737777806Steam does the same thing, offline mode only works for a set amount
>>737777806>30-Day DRM After 30 days, the $70 game I paid for is locked and disabled. Why is this needed?
Guess now's a good time to jailbreak my PS4 then
>>737803397And? This is for the loaned games system. It exists so the person you loan the game to doesn't keep it forever
could you just change the date of the console?
>>737803307Cope, Snoy, this a PlayStation and Xbox problem.
>when the whole Nintendo does too gig failed for Snoys, they're now attacking Steam and making claims that it does the sameStop being cultist and defending your brand of choice, shills.
>>737806068It’s incredible.>Should I pull this corpo cock out of my ass?>No! I’ll accuse others of having cocks up their asses too!Snoys aren’t human.
>>737805998You rent all your games on Steam lol. I don't own any shitty current console
>>737806418I can play games offline indefinitely, unlike on PlayStation.
>>737791290ntathere are 0 games worth playing from atlusname all of them right now
>Games purchased digitally after March 2026 will be affectedThat's incredibly shit, arrogant snoy just fucked over single player games and future purchases.
