PSN downtime compensation criticised by PlayStation fans without PS Plus who were still unable to play games
PSN downtime compensation criticised by PlayStation fans without PS Plus who were still unable to play games
Why does Sony always feel like you could replace anything they say with "You should consider yourself lucky we allow you to play our games."
It was a minor annoyance at worst. But it was annoying in that it revealed the clear enshitification occurring. You should put a disc in and the game should work. That's video game history.
Can I confirm whether this outage was affecting downloaded singleplayer games? I didn’t think that would be the case.
I've been playing a lot of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 on PS5 the past few days, and couldn't even tell there was an outage.
For what it's worth I was able to play Farm Together the whole time, it has a dedicated offline mode, that's the only game I've played in ages but I've played the GoW games without internet plenty so I imagine that would have been fine too
I canceled my subscription last week, just before it was time to renew.
I'm going back to PC gaming full time. If in time everything is coming to PC anyway, I rather wait and have it all on one system with a Nintendo system next to it.
PS4 was when I switched to PC for a majority of my games except exclusives. I refused to pay for PS+ to play online, since I enjoyed my free online on the PS3 the past Gen.
Picked up a long hdmi cable back then so I could enjoy the couch gaming experience when I felt like it. So that stopped being a selling point for consoles for my use case.
When you're ready, I started using Bazzite for an htpc, and it's phenomenal. A PC console, like I've always wanted
I want to swap my alienware aurora to linux but I'm struggling to find a distro that I know will be compatible with my hardware. Is there a list for bazzite driver support? I'm sure all my hardware will work in most linux distros geared toward gaming but it'd be nice to have some assurance beforehand.
operational issue
Why be so vague? That's only ever going to frustrate people.
Somebody fucked something up, exactly how specific do you want them to be?
It was "Dan's fault!"
Fair
PS Plus is a joke and anyone paying for it needs to rethink what they are actually paying for
Thing is there are quite a few games you just can't play without PSPlus
Which is absolutely shitty but if you're like me and you don't game crazy heavy, just play a couple games here and there, and one or two of the games you actually enjoy requires ps plus to work, you're out of luck.
I generally don't use ps plus for anything else - once in a while they have a free game that's really good, but in general I agree it would not be worth it if it was not for the fact thatbthey stop you playing certain games without it.
Not paying for a “premium” service leaves you a second class customer. What a surprise..
