So you don't spend your whole day waiting to play when they push a ludicrous 50GB patch and you can't play online without it.
Steam should allow you to download older versions when companies pull bullshit like this.
I went back to it recently. It's mostly down to Amazon deciding that paying them was no longer enough, you had to watch their ads as well.
Well now I don't. I installed Jellyfin, paid up for two years of VPN, and got another HDD. I'm set. I'm all done with asking nicely for a better service so I got my own.
I sub to Spotify because it's easier than pirating. I'm a creature of convenience. If there was one streaming service that had all movies that have already had their cinema run, and all TV shows, and was all in one UI, and nothing ever got taken off it, and it was a reasonable price (say the price of two current streaming services), I'd probably pay up for it.
But there isn't. They don't want to offer it. They all want to be king of their little corner.
Well the country is built on it.
This is a nonsense take.
The Last of Us, Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, God of War, Doom. There are plenty of AAA games worth your time and money. Every bit as lovingly crafted as your precious indie darlings.
Maybe stop buying them blindly because you've seen a flashy ad for them on TV. There's plenty of bad AAA games that do all the gameplay competently but have literally nothing to say. Where you can't feel the touch of the designer at all, and all you can hear in it's place is a hubbub of design-by-committee noise. The only thing those games have to say is "give me your money".
Probably injecting ads "naturally" into the conversation.
This is the way.
Oh please don't make me use Bing.
I learnt C on an Amiga. No memory protection at all. Pointer errors would likely need a reboot to recover.
I rebooted a lot.
I think if Sony want to push this they need to...
Make PSN available at least in all countries that Steam operates in.
Add cross-buy so if you buy a Sony published game for PC you also get it for Playstation and vice-versa.
Probably not much, but how many people noticed a few bucks here and there on a massive bill?
That's just a map of police departments.
