No surprise here. Those were idiots trying to profit from someone else’s labour. It’s not illegal to sell a retro gaming console capable of playing gba games (to name one), what’s illegal, and these imbeciles should have known is to sell them full of licensed games.
Well deserved imho.
Edit: gotta love getting downvoted for this. I guess people are butthurt because someone profiting from piracy got screwed. Well, that’s how it is. These guys could have sold the consoles without games and nothing could have happened. Piracy by itself shouldn’t be about profiting from other people’s work. That’s why every single cracker group tells you that if you paid for their cracked games, you were scammed.
But I guess people think that profiting from piracy is fine… Oh well…
If Hideo Kojima is not developing the game, why should it be called “A Hideo Kojima game”?
The vr googles are a new product, so it could (and in fact did) flop. If you want to compare a new PS in terms of how could it be with the prices, you need to use the iPhones, that are already established in the market.
Same case: they offer a product that has a different ecosystem that only them produce and they can be considered without competitors (in the Mac /apple ecosystem) same as Sony would be if they had no competitors in the consoles market.
I mean… Look at Apple. It’s not really that crazy to think that the next playstation will cost a thousand.
Will it? If they have no real competition, they could set the price they want. Because Nintendo is not an alternative and Microsoft seems to be aiming at other stuff that is not consoles anymore. And many people still think that a console is easier and less troublesome when you only want to play games (even though it’s not anymore the case).
There’s something unsettling about all this. They are selling ps5 pro at an insane price tag. What’s going to happen when PS6 is released? Are they going to sell it under the price of the pro? Probably not. So it means PS6 will probably have a starting price of, at least ps5, pro price tag. Are we going to see the next gen at prices over 1000€?
799€ here, 920€ with a disc drive. That is stupidly insane for a console. We’re almost breaking the 1000€ barrier for an “upgrade”, not even the new generation.
I’d bet my money Sony is just testing the grounds to see if they can set PS6 price in a few years over the 1k barrier.
Even if he isn’t part of the gaming industry, we can’t pretend he’s the only one thinking like this (hence my comment “people like this asshat”). This kind of assholery is the reason the AAA industry is like this.
It’s people like this asshat the reason why I rarely play an AAA game anymore and the few I play are always the pirated version.
Wow, I didn’t know Hollywood was so concerned about the Red Sea maritime traffic…
Can’t wait to sub to Ubishit- so I can play the new Assassin’s Creed monthly release. Now with more micro transactions, more empty map to explore, and more bugs!
They are probably not compliant at all, they just never get checked by authorities.
20-25 years ago, phones in schools were a rare sight, and nobody died. My parents could live without knowing what was I doing in school until I got home.
Now it seems those parents need to set a surveillance system to know what their kids are doing 24/7.
Because they didn’t need training. Or that’s what we all thought. They were born with an internet that was basically Google. We needed to learn command line, they needed to learn how to press one button.
And it really is that way… Until they need to do something more complex and realize they can’t.
They are not tech-savvy, we had to dumb down technology so boomers and gen Z’ers could use it.
Remember these are the assholes for the traditional catholic family.
The traditional family made of a man, his wife and a lover with whom he cheats his wife with public money.
And we really hope our problem ends up like Brazil’s one.
The room next to where you installed it at home will still have problems getting more than 2 lines of WiFi.
