Sony: You want physical products? Sure, here's a Lego PS1.
No physical games: No selling. No trading. No borrowing. No lending. No buying used. No shopping around. No refunds. No ownership. No purchase.
I admit I used to be a Sony fanboy but man they’ve done absolutely everything this generation to turn me against them.
for context, the median gamer plays games for 8~9 hours a week. that comes out to ~35 hours a month. are we sure they want streaming to be the main way of playing games? these caps would absolutely destroy the market!
Why does Jon always upload right before the Nintendo direct gets announced 😂
Since my payments are digital, you don't really own the money and we should be able to rescind the purchase when you rescind the "license" for the product.
also, as someone who can easily rack up Fifteen Hours in a SINGLE DAY (if im off from work, if its a new game, etc), having a Monthly Cap is fucking stupid
Generational downward spiral for Sony. "Hey, we may be getting rid of physical media, but maybe you'd like to check out this movie in our State of PLAY?"
If Capcom is listening to you, keep mentioning Mega Man in every News Wave! Keep fighting the good fight, Jon!!
Xbox is acting like someone’s mom capping their game time
State of Shame.
Im legit upset about the lack of a physical copy of final fantasy revelations. Its the last game in the saga, just make a real physical copy. This makes me almost not even want to buy and play the game at this point. Super disappointing. I hate modern gaming so much.
it's really disappointing because FF7 in the PS1 had 3 discs... I would not mind Revelation having 3 discs at all.
I'm so sick and tired of the way these companies are treating us gamers. I bought a PS3 last week, and put a 1 tb hard drive in it full of games, plus my disc I have. I also have a 3DS full of games, getting a 360 next week will do the same for it. These companies aren't getting one single dollar from any longer. I'm 58 been gaming since I was 14 when I got the Atari 2600. This is the worst I've seen the gaming industry since then. I'm just tired of it. It's getting to expensive for one thing, then without physical, and this stupid cloud gaming. Sorry for the rant.
At the end of the day these companies don't care about players until we stop buying their products but I think that will never happen.
HAHAHAHAHA 15 HOURS A MONTH FOR GAMEPASS _ULTIMATE??_ that's unbelievable
I think Microsoft announcing a limit to cloud streaming is ridiculous. Hopefully they will change course and scrap plans to impose a limit on cloud streaming.
Sony is speedrunning ruining any good will they had. I haven't seen so many people so quickly turn against Sony since the PS3 price was revealed.
Sounds to me like Microsoft and Sony are working on making gaming unattainable for a lot of people.❤❤❤
When the companies themselves are arguing that customers should vote with their wallets... maybe we listen to them?
