Sony thinks the PlayStation's curated content, more stable game environment, are their strengths compared to PC gaming.

    Co-exist by releasing games on both platforms, instead of cancelling ports and turtling up behind your walled garden then.

    Man, Sony has a RUDE awakening coming. Really the only thing consoles have going for them is ease of use and the steam machine/deck have just destroyed that advantage. People will not put up with a $70 price tag for a game they can get at a steam sale for $30. Maybe their exclusives will carry them, but those seem to be getting less and less.

    This invites a comparison between the Sony disc experience and the Sony digital experience(s).

    Disc: place disc in, get update, play. Don’t have internet ? Still play.

    Sony Digital: Sony has had multiple psn outages over the years that stopped multiplayer, license validation and updates for weeks/months. Even just recently…

    Sony has had MULTIPLE HIGH LEVEL user data breaches exposing accounts to hackers. https://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2025/12/23/psa-psn-accounts-hacked-even-with-2fa-passkey-enabled/

    https://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2026/05/23/playstation-accounts-hacked-social-engineering/

    Sony removes titles off psn and fuck you for caring otherwise. Remember PT? I have a copy I had to proxy download to a ps4 just to have cause Sony /konami don’t care…

    Sony has randomly pulled digital titles from paying customers, deleting purchased copies of films and tv shows from their own network. If you paid for it, it doesn’t matter Sony/Konami took it away.

    Remember how Sony handled digital pc titles???

    Even if you don’t care about discs Sony has proven it can’t handle a digital marketplace.

      And Sony doesnt offer PSN in 121 countries on earth. So if you live in one of those, Sony doesnt want your money.

        To put that 121 in perspective… There are 195 countries on the planet. So PSN is available in less than 38% of the countries on Earth.

    You own a PC, vs you rent a PlayStation - we are not the same.
