I don't think normalfags will ever get this, I know one that constantly blows his paychecks buying full priced games on his PS5 that he proceeds to barely even play and pays for every subscription service and movie on there. They'll keep doing this shit cause cattle like him exist.
Wait, so Sony witnessed how much of a disaster their live service experiment was, and instead of realizing that their fans want the story focused games they've become famous for and not "predatory hero shooter #292737" and changing course, they decide to double down on the experiment?
Is literally every ceo and sharholder in this industry a complete brainlet?
Nobody talks enough about how much of a bubble Live Service is.
Can you install other shit besides netflix? I havent downloaded any app for the ps5. Spotify was backed into it isnt it?
Also it was funny as fuck how sony actively tried to shit their only two pc hits forcing psn on helldivers and whatever the fuck they did with stellar blade that people also didnt like

A bubble where the existing games are propped up by their audience and new games are total failures. Once those existing players get bored or fed up, that bubble will pop. And AAA companies will be left holding the bag
You know what will smell like gentlemen? The smell of winning.

I mean these are the same people that saw no problem with planning 10+ live service games that the average user was presumably expected to play concurrently for 1-2 hours each per day,
when that same average user (without a family) has about 2-4 hours of total free time in any given work-day, most of which is already preoccupied.
They either assumed everyone is a fat Neet with 12+ hours of unused free time on the average Monday or just have no idea of what exactly they are even selling and to who.
At this point i believe that these rich retards are just as stupid as the niggercattle they try to scam. They just see the cool buzzword of the day (LIVE SERVICE) and assume that means its a solid investment. No critical thinking, just the rich people version of a hypetrain.
The years of super low interest rates were the fentanyl for the rich elites and their investment firms. They could just get basically free money and dump it on anything with a pulse so any ability to actually consider whether an investment is viable or not has atrophied to death.
Alas, all participating parties eventually get what they deserve lol.
Who's ready for MORE concords? Who's ready for it to take until 2032 for them to even have a CHANCE of unfucking their development pipelines with how long AAA takes now?
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
The nature of big business and its parasitic trade market masters, coupled with a market/focus/analyst based mentality and "on paper" (phantom) obsessed decision making, makes it literally impossible for them to ignore a trend.. especially one that, on paper, means maximum $$$$. At this point even a final gasp effort with the last of resources, would still likely be a live slop game attempt. A bunch of big and institutional investors, as well as other know-nothings like "analysts" would rebel.
Daily reminder that FUCK digital, fuck streaming, fuck business retards and lawyers. This shit isn't (only) about cheapness or laziness, it's also about conditioning the masses AND generally preventing anyone from owning anything for too long. This is what happens when platforms or services are otherwise around too long for rights holders liking. If they can't force you to buy over and over again on new platforms, they pull shit like this on principle.
If buying isn't owning, pirating isn't stealing. To the high seas. The only moral and ethical choice.
Rumor is that the ps6's BoM (Bill of Manufacturing, the total cost of all parts, manufacturing, and labor, notably doesn't include R&D, marketing, sales assistance, distribution, shipping, etc, or you know, the big one, retail cut) is over $1,000. Several of its components are predicted to further increase in price by up to 2x in the next 18 months before the ps6's planned launch. To put into perspective how bad this is, a wholesale price (the price the store pays to sony's distributors for a ps6, for all intents and purposes, "sony's cut") of $1,000 would be ~$1,420 at retail. If every single component didn't go up in price by a single dollar in the next 18 months, they could sell it for $1,500 and it would still be a loss. Prepare for either them to sell it for $1,000 and still be taking MASSIVE losses, or for it to have a price that makes the steam machine look cheap.
