No one is forcing you to buy the next Play Station. There are plenty of better options you can choose from.
No one is forcing you to…
You act like other manufacturers won’t follow suit in an attempt to squeeze more money out of consumers in the hunt for ever increasing profits.
If you want physical disks just pirate and make them yourself. You’ll save lots of money and won’t have to support these shitty companies making such a decision.
All I’m trying to say is you have options and don’t have to let them make you believe you dont. I don’t like them doing this either but I don’t get a say just like you.
Of course it will happen, but still no one is forcing you. It’s up to you to decide how much you can tolerate. At one point you have to decide that it’s enough and you wont buy anymore and if it means you can’t participate in that hobby then yes you wont participate in it and find a new hobby.
The meme is accurate, but it still is a luxury product and quitting it is always an option.
I’ve quit multiple things just because the price rose over some predetermined limit.
It’s 2029. My Gamecube, Dreamcast, and PS2 still work just fine, thank you.
You’re also old enough to schedule your first colonoscopy.
Check your caps.
how does one get started replacing capacitors? what are good practice devices
Check forums if the hardware you have is prone to issues. Some manufacturer years are worse then others because of the Capacitor Plague, but any capacitor can dry out, leak out or otherwise wear out. If a cap leaks, it can damage the traces on the board. Best practice is to replace before that happens. There are kits online for diy repairs and shops that will do it if you can’t solder.
The controller has 3 hours of battery life and the joystick drifts by default out of the box now.
You can buy the premium subscription to ensure that feature remains disabled.
You have 4 in your library, but only 1 is installed; it’s Call of Duty. Since there’s no need for physical media anymore, the footprint of games has ballooned to the point where if you want to install CoD, it’s going to cost you 2TB of storage. They threw in 8k textures just for the 0.0001% of players that actually have an 8k TV, and there are a lot of textures since the Big Chungus update which introduced 255 different coloured Chungus textures for every weapon and weapon attachment combination in the game.
They also animated each one in a strange uncompressed video format instead of using effects over them. They are not optional, even though 95% are from optional dlcs you don’t own.
Don’t forget that you paid a %50 deposit to reserve/pre-register your “copy” of a digital game
Second-hand games for older consoles exist…
For how much longer though? Older consoles and games are no longer being made and each year fewer and fewer will be available.
I think this is a bit optimistic, no way they won’t invent some new way to monetise it even more by 2029
fuck sony
They each cost $80. Yeah you wish they were so cheap…
If PS goes all digital and Xbox follows with their closed ecosystem, $100 is the minimum they will charge.
I will not be buying a PS6. Next gen will be PC (and maybe Nintendo) for me.
Or, you could take control of your life back from the corpos by any means necessary.
That’s a very nice way to console yourself.
PC only, bro. No consoles for us.
