ROFL Of course Sony would make PSN a requirement for their two PC ports, shooting themselves in the foot while running is so clever! A non-starter for me, I won't buy either game even if they decide to make it optional. Can't reward their foolishness.

@Klumpmeister Yeah, the double dipping in both markets is pretty bad. Especially when PSN could be considered worse than EA or Ubisoft's own online services. In terms of games, I think Sony is fine, but they need to take a hard look at their store; culling some games which don't meet a higher standard.

@WanderingInDigitalWorlds Sony doing layoffs didn’t help either. I saw something that PS4 players account for nearly half of their traffic which is funny given how old the PS4 is.

@majorlinux I just wish they weren't forcing the PSN account again and alienating so many countries from buying a single player game.

It doesn't look like the people were ready for a new generation just yet.

11 years after launch, 49M people still use their PS4s, matching the PS5

Question for folks:

It turns out that players have been able to download the major expansion early. Again.

(it was scheduled for next week)

All they had to do was change the clock on their PlayStation to next week’s date, and Sony‘s servers gave them the expansion.

Does that sound like has anyone employed in system security? Cuz to this layperson it sure doesn’t.

@whoisryosuke I'm usually a very stubborn open-standards-only person. The "I had an 'MP3-stick' that also supported Ogg Vorbis because I only had those" kind. The "No binary blobs in my OS and BIOS" kind. But, I admit, secretly, MiniDisc still makes me smile very fondly. So damn neat. Such a shame it arrived late to the scene and was hampered by Sony doing everything in their power to hamstring it's killer feature, perfect copies, by not making proper computer drives for it and only its craptacular NetMD software...

Tras mucho con muchos mandos, la experiencia de jugar con los DualShock 3 y 4 de y finalmente el Controller, no acepto mandos que no traigan sensores de movimiento y de hecho preferiría que también contasen con trackpads en lugar de joysticks (desgaste y drifting nulo) y botones traseros adicionales.
Empecé a jugar Overwatch con controles táctiles, giroscopio y macros usando el mando de Steam y cualquier mando que ofrezca menos se me hace muy básico por muy caro que sea.

@tuneintodetuned El Steam Controller es la cúspide de los mandos. Una pena que esté descatalogado.

@Roboron
El mío sigue funcionando perfecto. Incluso el único joystick que tiene (que debería ser lo que hubiera empezado a fallar ya) sigue sin desviarse. Y como funciona con pilas AAA recargables no hace falta tampoco ningún servicio de soporte por batería dañada.
Entiendo que nadie se adaptase a él con la costumbre estas últimas 5 generaciones de consolas pero si yo hubiera tenido la misma mentalidad de no adaptarme a nada nuevo hace años no habría pasado de los mandos de la NES con 8 botones.

Remembering that time Sony got caught lying to Gamers, but instead of apologising acted like it was all a harmless goof by Beloved Uncle Sony and his only crime was being too "funky fresh".
