I've been a PlayStation fan since the ps1 and now I'm leaving them behind (lemmy.ml)

I really dislike their new DRM update even if its "testing the waters" , after being a fan for so long I'm set to completely drop them by the end of this year (yes I'm waiting for gta6).

I managed to convince my normie friends to switch with me to PC gaming by being their IT support 😂

I'm willing to take a fat loss on memory if it means I'm leaving a predatory ecosystem.

also true on the gold subscription, ps plus is also going up and I'm not willing to tolerate it more

Your gonna find out it’s just as predatory.

Tell me about how you upgrade your console's hardware to make it last another five years. Tell me about how you installed an open source operating system to do whatever you want with your console.

I’ll spend half the money buying a new PlayStation 6 ;)

2 things:

You have no idea how much a PS6 is going to cost. RAM and storage prices also have an effect on console prices
They were talking about upgrading individual components incrementally. Something that is easy and far less expensive that upgrading the whole machine. Consoles don't have that option

Consoles are still cheaper.

Can’t pirate games though, so… maybe not cheaper in the long run.
