I was upset when PS4 moved to paid online and never ever paid for PS+, and only got single player exclusives for it. But as time passed saw that I was in the minority and that other people fell in line and paid for PS+ and even argued for why paying for online was necessary.

So I expect the same to happen. When this is people complaining about a price increase a opposed to being against paying for online I expect people to keep financially supporting the subscription model enough for Sony to keep moving forward and be happy with the money.

Yeah, looking for non video game related reasons to make use of the hardware makes me appreciate the flexibility that more open hardware allows.

Sell the PS5.

“rentals” since they cease to work once the subscription lapses. Just like how Netflix isn’t giving away free movies and TV shows.

And it’s capable of productivity with free tools like blender, visual studio code, and da vinci resolve. So that extra hardware can be used beyond just gaming.

I stopped being amazed when console gamers argued on behalf of a billion dollar corporation for why online multiplayer had to be paid.

I never did. I only got a PS4 for single player exclusives back in the day. Refused to pay for online access and had no interest in paying a monthly fee for rentals when I already had a backlog. And had my PC for everything else.

At the very least even if it runs beautifully it ends up being an annoyance on Steam Deck and offline play interrupting your game session as though you are the pirate as opposed to an actual customer who paid. While the pirates laugh at the experience you should be getting.

I hope it’s not a single person but a group mascarding as one deranged individual so it means that capable crackers are more widespread than one singular genius holding it down.

Like Resident Evil Village before they fixed it.

It shouldn’t be a problem if it’s properly implemented, but games are so broken these days and take months to fix if lucky that it’s insulting to paying customers. Properly implemented DRM is not a guarantee when games have been unoptimized even without it.

Yeah, and switch sometimes stutter too already without Denuvo. Games are already being pushed to their limit on the switch just trying to hit 30 fps whole not even targeting 1080p in the more heavy games.

Thanks for the link. Yeah, just length alone isn’t a good reason to dismiss a video since if something is interesting I’ll watch it like that NFT video.

More just when it comes to the coverage around LTT it is at the end of the day just some YouTube channel being called out and the PR response getting whole flood of talking heads jumping on the bandwagon. It’s one of the topics now that feels so run to the ground for what is gossip or opinion pieces that until there’s either more concrete new evidence from within the organization or new content from LTT to talk about it’s not the most engaging topic for a long exposé with there being no new revelation to be attention grabbing.

Which is the main reason why for at least just LTT videos the duration was a turn off in the current offerings of LTT focused videos with it being so over saturated. Of course, if it had Linus or anyone from LTT being invited to interviewed then yeah that’d be interesting.

I need to play little nightmare 1. I got it in my Steam library.

First time hearing of that video. Is the name drop of that title meant to indicate it was a viral hit or something? Quantities of videos on YouTube are endless and constantly being churned out, so part of why people want some strong selling point when it comes to topics many others have covered and keep covering. Especially during phases when every youtuber seems to be covering the topic to take advantage of the algorithm.

Yeah, tech side is irrelevant.

Many people like worshiping prominent figures, and looking up to them for inspiration and socializing with other fans about their adoration and displaying signs of support for them. It’s nothing unique to tech.

Kardashians, Trump, Rogan, etc. List is endless in all spaces.

Any AI bot to summarize this. Highly doubt most people are going to want to watch 1.5 hours of this video.

Only 30 fps.

That’s not what’s being discussed. It’s whether laws are being broken. That’s why the discussion is about piracy not payment.

People did move here from reddit after all. That’s why I recommend apps like lemmy connect on Android with keyword filtering. You can’t control what people post, but you can regain control by controlling what you see.

That’s a whole lot of words for what in the end is not piracy with no laws being broken. There’s a difference between a moral argument and law breaking.
