    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

    Not paying for a “premium” service leaves you a second class customer. What a surprise…

    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.”

    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.

              Also even if you use a mechanical drive or anything, once it’s working it’s super easy to migrate your installation to another drive with dd

          Only thing that is iffy usually is Nvidia. A big caveat is that Bazzite doesn’t support Nvidia for now. Agree with the other commenter, put it on another partition and try it out

              Not gamescope though, which I would assume most people who use Bazzite would expect

                They DO support nvidia in every other way though, so your first statement is still false.

                  JFC okay, yes, if you cut out the primary use case of Bazzite and ignore the warning on their home page where they explain that they don’t really support it then yes I guess so. Ffs I was trying to save a new user frustration and disappointment fuck me right?

          Easiest way would be to either dual boot with a test partition, or if you have a spare SSD, just replace the current SSD with the spare and install Linux on that.

            Using an old spare as a test is a good idea.

            And to think, my wife mocks my hoard of old parts, cables, adapters, etc. Who’s laughing now? It matters not that it grows at an inverse rate at which it is depleted…I did say hoard, did I not?

            Yeah…ok, so try it with a spare. Sounds good.

    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.

    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.
