I’m not paying for multiplayer. The internet, electricity, games and accessories are expensive enough.

It was all downhill from PS4, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Switch.

I will be gaming on steam deck instead.

I "bought" a couple games on ps4 back in I think 2021. I turned on my PlayStation recently and I was signed out and I couldn't sign in. Turns out Sony deletes accounts that haven't signed in for 36 months.

Valve never would've done this.

Good thing Sony has set into motion the killing of discs in 2026 to take away your games.

[–] joyjoy@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The games I bought were digital.

Also you can’t change the region of your PSN account.

That’s ok. They’re taking away digital content too. So far just movies, not games (yet).
