Comment on PS5 Exclusive Saros Has Reportedly Only Sold 300K Copies
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 1 week agoIt’s honestly pathetic how hard you’re arguing to justify this bullshit.
Let it go and stop being a Sony’s cuck. Nothing you say will justify DRM.
Is it a measure that is done in the consumer’s interests? Hell no. Does this negatively affect consumers? Yes. IDC how small a percentage it affects. I care that it affects fellow consumers and their ability to use a product they paid for.
That’s all there is to it. Any excuse from the company to justify it gets them a big fat finger from me. The company’s interests are not my interests and they, in fact, go directly against my interests. So fuck em.

You’re doing a lot of speaking for me there, and putting words in my mouth I’ve not said. Never once did I say I’m pro DRM. Would I prefer if they didn’t do this at all? Obviously. You’re arguing with me for something I’m not fighting. I was not defending Sony, only disputing your claim that it’s made things noticeably worse for the general majority and my first comment was just explaining what the issue you barely described in your first comment even was.
Because of how locked down consoles are in their normal use anyway, this issue will barely, if at all affect anyone, who is using their console as intended. It’s obviously a completely different story for those that will eventually tinker and use it way beyond it’s eventual sunsetting. The console itself is technically already riddled with DRM anyway, even if they didn’t add this new countermeasure.
Once again, not advocating for DRM. I would rather the concept not exist at all. But this most recent drama has not changed a thing when it comes to your standard use of the console. There was already DRM involved beforehand.
In the end, I agree with you on your points on DRM itself.
