Been gone for at least 15 years for me. Like do people still have DVD/CD ROM drives in their machines. It’s been ages since I’ve even considered physical games since I find it a hassle over my steam library. Sure they could take it away at some point in the future but by that mentality Russia could EMP us…

Dang doomers…

That makes sense… Of course sales will be lower if the game is offered on a service where the subscription fee is significantly lower than the price of the game.

Maybe for you but some people don’t have the means to afford better hardware.

Where do I sign up?!

I’m not crashing but having an issue with a quest that is bugged in Zalissa later in the game.

Oh I was crashing before but that was due to my GPU overclock. No more crashing after it was set about 90 mhz lower than I usually set it.

If only they could fix the game breaking bugs preventing me from proceeding… Damn Zalissa

True, there will not be a significant decrease in cheating. The main savings will be in cost to the company by dropping support for a release pipeline.

Not you apparently

The problem I’ve always run into is steam big picture, games with launchers, resolution issues, display scaling for large screens (more rare now), no Dolby Atmos, poor HDR support, and general difficulties for other family members. Consoles are just far far more consistent with the experience than PCs, currently at least.

Why not both? I have a gaming PC for titles that are best played on the PC and the PS5 is for when I want to relax on the couch.

True but it won’t be comparable to the console hardware. Has anyone done a cost/performance analysis of the PS5 Pro? Most of the time the cost is subsidized into the licensing fees involved in order to sell PS5 games.

Not a very good gaming PC, certainly not as good as the PS5 Pro hardware if you need everything, monitor peripherals, GPU, RAM, etc.

They would be stupid not to.

It’s not that it’s hard, it’s that it’s not engaging or fun. The early/mid game is where most of the action happens and the end game is when you spend 40+ turns rolling enemy cities with your tank armies.
