I am so mad that Sony's new console will be all digital that I'm going to buy all my games from Steam instead, which is... also... digital... uh...
>>746244341I buy my games from Big Gamer Games
>>746244341Steam doesn't require you to buy a SteamMachine to play games
>>746244341Steam doesn't want $80 a year for nothing in return.
>>746244341I can ctrl+c ctrl+v with them
>>746244341you dont even have to pay for games on PC
>>746244341>closed ecosystem you can't do anything with vs open platform where you actually control your own hardware and don't have to pay to use your own internetthese are not the same
>>746244341You can backup your games on pc (even to bluray disks) You can't do that with digital games on consoles.
>>746244341Yes, Steam is a platform that has some degree of trust.Sony adopts all of 100 modern gaming scams why would you trust them with a digital only market place? Especially after the turd generation that is PS5?
>>746244341No reason to buy a Fagstation anymore
So does anyone have a good car or food analogy to explain why blaming Steam for Sony taking something away is pretty retarded.
Did any games ever come out for PS5?Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention, but it feels like that console generation barely existed.
We're going to own nothing and be happy!
As much as I don't want to switch to Steam, at least games there can go for almost nothing.I've seen one good deal on PSN. FarCry 5 for like $6 AUD. That's it.The Switch will have games for super cheap, but rarely do I see anything go that low on PSN.
>>746244341Look up what "walled garden" means and you'll instantly understand this problem and every one like it
>>746246120Uh Yeah, Game of the Year Astrobot!!
>>746244341me personally? I pirate all my PC games and burn them on discs :)
>>746244341>um but what about steam?lolthe snoy's final defense
>>746245591Just because there aren't any now doesn't mean there won't be any in the future
>>746244341The worst part isn't the transition to digital only, it's everything else they've designed around for it. A glorified PC with non-upgradable hardware, with a limited SSD space in which they'll want you to buy Sony branded SSDs, shitty dualshocks that'll stick drift they know you have to buy new ones every half a year or so, no used games market or tradeable digital platform, they get to set the price and terms of use of everything you use in the system and you'll take it like a bitch because they know you're conditioned to accept most kinds of bullshit by now
>>746246689The worst part of post-2010s consoles is that they are just home PCs with flagrant permission to disregard interoperability standards, violate antitrust laws and flout consumer protections.Technically even if Snoy does go all-digital, they would still be obligated by EU law to allow for a used game market due to the outcome of the UsedSoft vs. Oracle case, but there consumer apathy is simply too high and executors are generally bought and paid for even when legislators finally start to push to actually regulate copyright.
I grow my games from the soil like god intended
Yooouu fucking suuuck leeeeb pooota
>>746244341it's easy to not buy the newest playstation when I was never going to buy it anyway
>>746244341PC is an open platform, hardware is upgradable, and Steam has significantly mores sales than any console platform. This whole thing is about controlling pricing if you didn't notice you retard. Why would Sony want you to buy [dogshit first party game] a year later at a reduced price in physical form when they can charge you the full price digitally on the PS Store?
>>746246937this is a /v/aquer board
>>746246994jesus christ
>>746246675Nah, there won’t be.
>>746244341games are cheaper on steam than PSNused games were a value proposition of consoles that jew you fucking HARD with expensive movie games, paid online, shitty servers, no modding, no upgrading, etc.Without used games as an option, you'd have to be a complete fucking retard to buy a console
>shillthread no.4764674645353e^22 missing the point that physical is the only alternative to the playstation store that's often cheaper.You often can buy the same game 4 times on steam for its ps store price.
>>746244341Buy?
>>746246994And people say pro rasslin' is fake kek, that's two concussions right there.
I was thinking of dropping Sony now that the discs are gone and going PC instead but when trying to figure out if it would actually be cheaper to use Steam I can't find where the info for an online play subscription on PC is. Does anyone know how much it costs to play games online on Steam? Is it cheaper than PSN+??? Do I have to pay monthly??
>>746246120>Did any games ever come out for PS5?third person revenge games, live service flops, and of course more horizon™ games. for the players.
>>746250818The only payment you need to make to play PC games online is to your ISP. Every PC game and digital store lets you use your existing internet connection with no extra payment to them as middle men like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo do
>>746250818you pay a lifetime subscription fee of $0.00 to play pc games online.
>>746246994holy fuck, that looks too fucking real
>>746250898But how can steam afford to do that and Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo can't???
>>746250990Gabe uses his yachts to smuggle rare pepes into North Korea and pays for you. That's why we all live him.
>>746244341This is probably some tendie poster trying to make us hate sony posters more as means of deflection
>>746246120its fucking crazy to look at the exclusives list, for BOTH xbone and ps5. if you remove all the ones that are tech demos, i think between the BOTH of them theres like 25 exclusives. 2 consoles, 5 years yeach, and its like, 13 for ps5 and 11 for xbone.its so fucking grim. not even trying to dunk on consoles, i feel legit sorry.
>>746251543Yup, and there wasn't even any tech progress in all those years. Normally you had devs finetuning the engines through a consoles lifecycle and coming up with some truly amazing results that looked like the system shouldn't be able to run them. But everything that comes out now looks almost worse than some ps4 titles. Soon you can't even plan with your friends who gets what game so you can hand them around once you finished them.ä while being tied to the most expensive digital store in all of gaming with the worst subscriptions.
>>746246120It took me 2 years to even find out that they released new consoles.
>>746250932Nah, she’s good
>>746250932liv will do anything for her fansunlike sony
>>746253887jeez
Besides not having a disk slot and costing twice-thrice as much as a PS5, genuinely what the fuck will the PS6 even have? If you're being expected to pay $1k for something, why not just buy a PC at that point, where you can do whatever you want with it? I know the root cause is that gun&ball gamers are lazy and tech illiterate
>>746244341>PSN goes downPS5 is an useless plastic box>Steam shuts downI can do whatever I want with my PC, including cracking the games I own, even easier with GOG where I only need to download the files and installerI can understand why they call them console peasants now. Especially the ponies love to suck SONY's cock for every little reason.
