Is this what's happening with the data centers, too? We'll be expected to access the internet through the cloud or centralized servers, so it doesn't matter to big tech that computer parts are unaffordable to consumers? For the record, I am not happy about it.
Somebody educate me, please. It's worse when I don't know exactly what's happening.
Yes. We will priced out or in the long term even forbidden from owning the hardware needes to run games and other demanding sofware natively. All this to grant us the honor to rent back what we used to own through the cloud
I mean... the internet is the cloud and such? Your local computer isn't generating the internet. The internet is all the accessible things from all the computers plugged in to it.
Theoretically browsing the internet is an extremely low demand thing to do with a PC. It used to be considered one of the lowest, until modern browsers became mostly one browser and every company decided it's job was to harvest as much of your data as possible.
Not sure what the image is referencing exactly, but recently Sony announced they plan to kill off disks entirely, and so their games and everything will all be digital download... and also they just straight up deleted 551 movies they'd sold for years to tons of people, with no refunds or fucks given, because... I guess they didn't want to pay to renew their license to sell them? And decided to make it retroactive. Because fuck poor people.
Linux on playstation
And as someone else pointed out in a different thread. No reselling disks or giving to friends.
Everyone has to buy their own downloaded copy per account.
And they dont have to soend the money for the reader. And the game company doesnt have to distribute hardware and can take more profit from the retailers.
Great chance to lay off thousands of retail workers ❤️
It was just bound to happen. The moment Xbox had dropped the ball and PS became the monopolist, it was obvious that they would start doing some extremely predatory shit and that's just it. There you have it. The enshittification at it's finest.
I, for one, have plenty of games to last me a lifetime. If I have to build another PC, even at these prices, I will because at least steam is not as predatory.
Plus worst case you can always just pirate it.
Or best case, even. ;)
