I can just download PSX bios and roms to Steam Deck though.

It is consoles
I already don't use the social features of my PS5. I don't even play online games with it since I ain't paying extra for that bullshit; I get all my MP games on PC unless they are couch multiplayer games.
I know this isn't the point, but ffs The Verge. "Add age verification to it is consoles"? Seriously?
that appears to be OP's headline, not from The Verge.
Yeah, autocorrect got me on my phone — fixed now 👍
Oh, well then "seriously, OP?" Though in this case the grammar issues are not as bad, because I expect professional media organisations to hold themselves to higher standards than randoms on the Internet.
Though it adds a layer because I hate when people editorialise headlines without it being clear that that's what was done. It's misleading and in this case was totally unnecessary, since the un-editorialised headline got the message across just fine.
I'll gladly accept a PlayStation without social features. I just want to play games. I am 100 years old. I own a mansion and a yacht.
You have to have online access to play any games.
