Sony hate thread

[The Last Stand]

Glorious digital future!

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.

Sony is the only company I know that would outright revoke licenses from purchases for expiring licenses or otherwise. Even if a game or movie is delisted, if you bought it, you should still have access to it on your account. Daily reminder that Sony's customer service is horrible with refund requests, unless the game is publicly outright broken.

Yes, god dammit, we've literally all fucking said that. Kindly take note that hasn't stopped them being utter cunts about trying to change it anyway. They're called the "copyright cartel" for a fucking reason.

Oh my... No Drop-Off in PS5 Demand Despite Price Increases, Says Sony

Oh my... No Drop-Off in PS5 Demand Despite Price Increases, Says Sony

The quote

At present, however, sales are proceeding as planned, and we do not believe this has led to a decline in customer demand.

Or in other words, we expected demand to decline and the price increase is not the cause. They may mean that it's only one cause, or that the price increase is a response to decreasing demand in order to maintain revenue goals.

This is a level of cope that, if this were an individual rather than a corporation, would almost on its own warrant a thread being created about them. Sales going from 2024 to 2025 were down an average of 40-50%. Sales in 2026 are down a further 58% from that, and are only spared from setting all time lows for the entire history of playstation because of a weird transitory time 26 years ago where they just weren't shipping anything to the US for a couple months.

Imagine buying a PS5 to watch a fucking movie. Wait...

So no games, no movies. Is it just an overpriced fire stick

Also keep in mind that sales are plummeting during the pre-order period of GTA6. There will be a spike in console sales during the launch of GTA6 plus the holiday season. But with more upcoming rounds of price increases we might see a generation collapse in this industry.

I'm baffled they're even bothering to make another console, the rest of Sony (and DEI bucks) must be carrying the gaming division hard because any other company would've been six feet under at this point.

 

[Problematic User Forever]

We didn't need a PS5 when it released.

We certainly don't need a PS6 right now.

What the actual fuck is wrong with Sony? Why are they so insistant on this fuckery when they produce "pro" models of consoles, now?

Best case scenario, it's just going to lead to another fucking generation that doesn't get going until the end because every god damn thing will need to be cross platform with PS5 to make any god damn money anyways.

 

[whatever I feel like]

Its the opposite, media (games, movies and music) are carrying the tech side.
