they were actually trying to do some innovative stuff with sharing digital games. Steam did something similar with their "Family Sharing"

Problem is you're focusing on the positives and not the incredibly harsh negatives that came with it.
They had good ideas and tried to force then on people. If your shyt didn't connect to the internet in 24 hours you couldn't play offline games breh. Offline games.
I'm not shytting on the coo lthings they wanted to do, I'm shytting on their outright refusal to budge initially and the way they didn't give a fukk about the consumer.
I don't really blame them for thinking they could, nintendo and sony both brute forced somethings. But they had killer 1st party Ip's and 3rd party exclusives to fall back on.
You would have been able to buy a physical game. Then once you installed it you would no longer have to use the disc. You could then share a digital copy with 10 friends and access your library of games on any system you logged into without ever having to touch the disc again. They were working on a digital marketplace where you would be able to trade/sell your digital licenses to other users.
Yes you are. Pretty much every game has a large day one patch to make the game work right.
For example spiderman PS5 had a bunch of crashes and game breaking bugs before the update. Your poor rural cousins would have driven 2 hours to go get their PS5 just to get home and not be able to play the damn game.
Didn’t see any of y’all up in arms defending your poor rural cousins for that
both needed a huge day one update. In the case of Spiderman the game was pretty much broken without it. Both have had ongoing stability updates.
No one is buying and playing next gen games/systems offline. Stop it
Literally everything that has anything to do with gaming is centered around access to the internet nowadays. You making up random scenarios to deflect from that reality.
More random scenarios. You have the internet and will have the internet for the rest of your life. This is like saying “if my electricity goes out I can’t play my PlayStation”
Stop it
The reason for the check was to allow you access to some of the benefits of digital games even if you purchased it physically.
Like I said. You really don’t understand the policy or how it would have worked. And now you just doubling down on your own ignorance
You trying to play your PS5 on a submarine breh??
Sony stansSony never told me hey you can only play our way and if you feel different you can fukk yourself and die. I purchased a console that I can play single player games anywhere at literally anytime. I can share my games with my friend without Sony finger wagging at me and saying it's piracy and that my friend has to go purchase their game or he should be in jail for stealing.
I don't have to adhere to their strict regimen of having to check and make sure my consoles online everyday, making sure that I never borrow another person's game because God forbid I might want to trade it in or sell one, and I don't have to buy a stupid fukking camera to watch my dumb face at all times. And thankfully that's all because of how fukking stupid Microsoft was and they adhere to the same shyt now. You're trying to act like I conformed to Xbox when they laid out the policies for us and 10 years later they backtracked on every single one. So who got fukked in this ordeal? Me, who can still play exactly how I want without changing shyt in 10 years or Microsoft who took a hard authoritative position and got bytched the fukk out by the gaming community and are just now poking their heads out of their hole to see if it's cool if they can operate again?
There’s nothing “incredibly harsh about being connected to the internet. You’re connected right now
and they literally DID change their policy based on consumer feedback.
fukk your talmbout breh

The incredibly harsh part was your console not being connected it just shut off. Do you not understand that part. How much do I have to beat you over the head with this fact before your brain understands wordsThere’s nothing “incredibly harsh about being connected to the internet. You’re connected right now
and they literally DID change their policy based on consumer feedback.
fukk your talmbout breh
We've already had this discussion Idk how much they're paying you but you shilling all over right now.
They did after a few months of reaction. At first when people were complaining they told mfs buy the 360
That's why I said initially, reading comprehension breh.
have you stopped to think about our servicemen in submarinesThere’s nothing “incredibly harsh about being connected to the internet. You’re connected right now
But you have the internet. It’s as accessible as electricity right now.
So they do listenWe've already had this discussion Idk how much they're paying you but you shilling all over right now.

Even your fukking computer and phone can still use apps when you don't have internet.
But your Xbox would've told you to fukk off and have a good day....

So they do listen
ain't Noone this dense.
I literally climed to the top of a mountain at Yosemite national park and still had access to the internet. My wife went on Facebook live from the top of a fukking mountain.
But Sony stans worried they might not have internet access
“What about the poor rural swamp people”

I can understand certain games being Nintendo exclusives, games Nintendo is known for. But who has ever associated MUA with Nintendo?
Honestly think they did that to spite people who only had a PS4 and/or X Box 1. They knew we was waiting years for this and basically try to make us buy a Switch to be able to play it.
It's kinda nuts the no internet connect issue.
I work in the south with some engineers with homes literally miles in the middle of no where and they have internet connect even if it's a terrible one sometimes.
And the ones that don't, because there are some that don't... They are working remotely from their home still.
How?
Hotspots via there phone.
Literally all you'd have to do is turn on a hotspot on your phone have your system connect to it for only a min check in and turn it off and be gravy for at least 48 hours. You can play your disk and system with no problem.

Thanks to the lawyers uh, I marbled the foyer

And lets not act like the internet isn't pretty much needed for all consoles now with Day one patches being almost standard. Infact there are games you can't even play unless you update it 1st.
