Fair point, I don’t own a PS5 so I can’t tell.

Right, the only PS5 exclusive I would love to have on PC is Astro Bot.
- Comment on End of an era? 1 week ago:
Actually, the 2026 strategy and business environment report from Sony simply removed the line “Will continue its efforts to deploy its first-party titles to multiple platforms such as PC” from their priorities list, but did not outright state that they won’t port games to PC anymore, as many journalists misinterpreted, the report simply states that it isn’t a priority anymore due to mitigated revenue. The main concern within the report seems to be that near simultaneous releases on PC are effectively cannibalizing PS5 hardware sales, so you might still expect PC releases but further down the line compared to the current 1-2 years window, maybe previous generation games released on PC, not current generation.

That is only the case because your console is connected to the internet. For example, I can dust off my old PS3 today and play the version 1.0 release of GTA V after installing it from the disc because the console is offline, meaning there won’t be any prompt asking me to update the game to the latest version, and it simply works.
You might argue that this is a bad example and that GTA V runs better on modern hardware, so let us consider Bloodborne on the PS4 instead, a title you will not find anywhere else and for which current emulation remains, at best, sketchy. I can insert that disc into my PS4 unplugged from the internet and play it immediately without any mandatory update.
Killing physical support means the end of this possibility for further releases, not that Sony has many exclusives these days, but for the handful of PS6 games that won’t make it to PC.

So, this means mandatory proprietary hardware just to play the four or five true permanent exclusives that will be on the PS6 throughout its entire lifetime, given that everything else will eventually come to PC, and you don’t actually own any of your digital content, meaning that they can revoke your access to your purchases without notice at any point if they choose to do so.
People will still buy it though, that’s the saddest part.

Netflix has a studio that publishes games on mobile, one of their most well known product is partnering with Take2/Rockstar to port the Definitive Edition of GTAIII/VC/SA to mobile, as questionable as they are.

All I heard from the ESA representative is : “If buying isn’t owning, pirating isn’t stealing.” 🦜
- Comment on What is your favourite gaming console you have played? 2 weeks ago:
Very fond of the PS1 as it was my primary console during childhood, especially the many JRPGs of the era but also other games like Ape Escape, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Syphon Filter, Soul Reaver 1, I go back to these every now and then.

I can’t wait to shoot my way around war thorn half destroyed cities with pristine advertising signs in the next Battlefield.

Obviously, if the goal had been to present it as anything other than AI, the watermark wouldn’t be there.

- Comment on Amazon Just ERASED Your Library. You Have 90 Days. 5 weeks ago:
Yup, and in some cases where applicable they also gave you the keys to specific publisher libraries, like I got Assassin’s Creed Origins and Odyssey added to my Uplay account with my saves intact right before Stadia shut down.
You can hate Google for lots of things, but when it comes to Stadia they handled it right.
- Comment on 007 First Light review – a triumphant James Bond game made by obsessive fans 1 month ago:
You can totally infiltrate your way around the open ended sandbox levels and figure out the web of different ways to reach your target/objective for much of the game, similar to the Hitman remakes, but there are also quite a lot of mandatory scripted action sequences.
- Comment on 007 First Light review – a triumphant James Bond game made by obsessive fans 1 month ago:
I genuinely enjoyed it, made by the same studio behind the Hitman remakes, the shared DNA is unmistakable.
