Oh look, Sony revoking more licenses for video content that people “bought”.

    And with the unrelated rumours of Microsoft potentially leaving the console business and going multiplatform, it begs serious questions.

    Do you really want Sony to have a monopoly on console gaming when they can’t even respect ownership rights for digital goods?

      Tbf I left the console market a decade ago and haven’t really felt like going back. Computers do everything I need in the gaming sphere

        Without extortionate extra fees either. I recently wanted to crossplay Overcooked on my PC with a couple friends on my PS4. “Buy PSPlus for only $100+ to play this game online!” Yeah, fuck off.

          still think its crazy that online match making is a paid service on consoles.

          remember when microsoft tried to do the same with PCs?

        I fear we are rapidly approaching (or have already reached) the point where the definition of “begs the question” is going to be changed to include “raises the question,” much the same way “literally” now also means “not literally.”

        I am not pleased by this development, but I was also not consulted.
