    This wouldn’t be bad if we were getting deals like we were in 2008/9 with like a PS3 + 3 games and 2 controllers for £350.

    Now is £550 for the console alone + £70 per year to play online + £70 for one game + £60 for a new controller + £100 for disc drive? Get all the way fucked.

    Probably not a lot of point while PC hardware costs this much.

    I guess bringing it to PC several years late at full price isn’t doing much for them either.

    It may work for Rockstar, but that’s about it.

    PlayStation/Sony still proving they would rather screw players to rip off PlayStation owners. Guess God of War Ragnarok will be my last PS game for a while 🤷‍♂️

    Oh no…

    Please. Please don’t make me address my 300 game backlog on Steam.

    I’m a PC gamer so I don’t have to deal with console bullshit. Been working out great for me since 1998.

    I thought they were making complete bank by getting rid of their exclusives and going the open platform route (which everyone complained about)?

    They did so well that Xbox became an irrelevant choice between PC and Playstation.

    Plus they were doing delayed PC releases, so I don’t really see how that would affect PS sales since the port would come out much later.

      It’s Sony. The various divisions never know what each other is doing and the moment a new executive comes in, they charge everything to make it seem like they’re important.
