All of this shite goes away soon and you're only option if you want it will be to pay full retail price.
Is the console player mind set that they would rather be a corporate slave to Sony/Microsoft and take all that abuse as a consumer rather than just switch to PC?

Sony's recent move to gate off their exclusives from PC suddenly makes a hell of a lot more sense.
Steam occasionally marks their stuff down. Sony exclusives will stay forever at a $70-$80+ price point with no recourse on PSN.

May as well start looking at PCs. Sony can get fricked.
Yeah, I'm sure theyll be selling disc versions of pc games forever
I bought a digital ps5 so this news means nothing to me

I hardly ever pay $70-80 for anything that isnt a sports game on ps plus. They put their shite on sale all the time. Or put it free on ps plus
Spiderman 2 was just on sale for $30 for days of play.
Ghost of Yotei has already been on sale for $20 off and its barely a year old.
God of War Ragnorak im pretty sure Ive seen for $40 or less.
Im sure no reselling sucks for yall that like to hunt bargains and stuff, but acting like will keep games $80 forever is dumb. The reason companies put games on sale is to attract new buyers that have been holding out or just arent that interested
If someone waited 2 years and didnt purchase a game, they arent gonna all the sudden spend $80 cuz it isnt on sale over the newest hyped up game.

I play both. There are a lot of games id rather play on console.
Prefer to play more rts/tactical/management/sim
games on pc.
You are never gonna get the same experience playing a lot of games on pc such as NCAA football. Youll end up stuck in lobbys with hackers like the NBA 2K and MLB The Show players currently deal with.
Even the shitty arse Undisputed boxing game the pc community is full of hackers with unlimited stamina cheats.

People sky screaming about this are cracking me up. Microsoft saw this coming 13 years ago when they released the OG Xbox and people shat on them for over a decade for it. Now those same people are shocked when their savior Sony finally realized Microsoft was right and is going to do the same.
I’ve said it repeatedly over the last few years. Xbox and Microsoft are playing the long game. They know they have “lost” the console war but they are keeping the brand alive for at least one more physics console before they truly go all in on Cloud gaming in probably 5-8 years. They have been building the infrastructure and will likely have it peak and ready to go on most smart TVs within the decade.
That’s when Sony will start their slow and inevitable downfall because they won’t be able to match the cloud gaming infrastructure Microsoft has. They’ll eventually sell IPs to Microsoft or Nintendo.
When it’s all said and done, Nintendo is going to be the only company that keeps releasing a physical console

Is america really gonna redo their entire infrastructure in the next 10 years to make cloud gaming feel like local gaming?
I have the newest fiber installed 3 years ago and cloud games still feel like arse. We operate where the tiniest latency kills things for competitive gaming.

How long have we been hearing this?
No console sales, layoffs, studio closures, game cancellations, botched exclusive handling, blunder after blunder. All part of the master plan

I remember when the GOP took the House and Senate in 1994, and some short, fat, long haired Dem congressman was at the podium screaming the news "We got em right where we want em!!!!"
That is how console makers sound to me

I'm always floored by the stalwart defense of corporations that in no way deserve that level of devotion.
The trends over the past decade have all been negative. It's not that I am clutching my pearls about moving to digital. I already buy all my stuff digitally. It's that I have zero goodwill for any of these greedy passionless corrupt cocksuckers and I don't trust them to do anything positive.
The trend has been less consumer choice, more predatory pricing, longer development periods for lesser products.
The only rebuttal seems to be 'why u mad, bro?'.

I think the death of video game consoles is ultimately inevitable, whether that comes in another 10 year or 20 or 30, it's something that's going to happen.
The entire reason consoles exist is sort of just inertia from an older era of technology.
Software was in the past much more tightly bound to a piece of hardware it was intended to run on. Both hardware and software were much more specialized.
These days software and computing hardware is significantly more flexible. Modern languages and architecture make software significantly more portable and able to run on a much broader range of hardware.
The whole original concept of stadia and cloud streaming, that's probably where things are ultimately gonna end up.

All of this is dead on. And like fatkid said, whats the point of owning a console if it's basically a PC at this point? This space is undergoing a fundamental transformation and will be unrecognizable in 10-15 years. With the advent of AI and how things are progressing with it, we're gonna have 3 or 4 companies hosting games for evertyone locally on mid-grade, farm optimized hardware with DLSS 8000 AI upscaling that is streamed to your house. We're going look back at gaming hardware the way we look at any other tech relic these days

He can't support physical games media if he also uses a digital delivery system?
