    They are thinking we’ll turn all of those PS users into gamepass customers. We will ship the next console as a cheap SBC with a gamepass subscription. They solve piracy, manufacturing and shipping costs and bend the customers over a barrell in one move.

    Sony will be forced to do away with discs too to stay competitive. MS will be able to claim they are multiplatform in the face of the legal issues and that they are for preservation because they will have a select few titles.

    The players will own nothing and the prices will eventually increase.

    Do yourself a favor and horde as many roms as you can now. Support gog and steam as alternatives to gamepass.

      And just wait until they pull a Nintendo and just stop having stuff in their catalogue…

      Oh that game you remember from your childhood? Lost to time, go fuck yourself, corporate profits come before nostalgia or even accurate human history.

      If they believe the amount of people with reliable (!) broadband connections with good enough peering to their data centers is as big as the customer base owning an xbox, they might have an ugly awakening.

      Most people will not move just to get a better latency that can still suffer from external influences. Waiting in a queue because the available machines in your nearest data center are all in use because it’s a holiday and everyone is gaming also gets old fast.
