Am i the only one who wouldn't care if the gaming industry crashes? I want it to crash and crash hard.
No I don’t care either. If companies are going to charge 80 dollars for a game and it still got bugs and patches plus additional dlc fukk it let it burn. I got a gaming laptop that plays all the retro gaming plus whatever comes to the platform.

As none of this impacts me I'm all for it. I hope Sony raises prices next. People asked for this when they voted for Trump. Let them suffer. I'm gonna hold onto my launch PS5 a bit longer and see if the price goes up and I can sell it for more.
Sony been raising prices, literally since the PS5 drops. People just don't really care, overall I understand why. The majority of people who have PlayStation are SUPER casual, like Madden, COD casuals. So they don't care about 70 1st party games, and they keep a PSN sub to play with friends.


But every year, sometimes multiple times a year there has been an overall price increase for PS stuff depending on where you live, and that can range from being annoying, bad, or insanely costly.


This is a 1st in console gaming that I can remember though, systems have stayed the same or gone up from the original release price.

Post in a gaming forum while not caring about gaming brehs

Consumers don't deserve quality AAA games for $60. We don't have GTA 6 because folks dropping $200 on shark cards and buying $30 weapon skins. I also don't like the stinky racists or all the political DEI points.

I want people to suffer from all sides. Let the industry fry to a crisp.

Depends how much you actually like gaming

people that prefer just talking about games probably don’t have much investment either way

It's so weird to me that ppl get borderline excited about the idea of a gaming industry crash.

And then ironically, those are the same types who don't buy/support anything, claim there aren't good games anymore, etc etc

Am I wrong? I've been gaming since the late 90s, almost 30 years.

Why do y'all want this current industry and all it's practices to stay? It's greedy, corrupt, and political full of people supporting all of it.

It’s not just them nikka I bought cyberpunk the first day it dropped on PS4 and the feeling of paying for something full price and the game running ultra shyt is a feeling like nikkaz is playing with you. Yes they offered a refund but it’s the principle I then rebought it at half the price with the dlc and the PS5 version and it runs much better. This was a life lesson learned.

This why I fux with VR, most games on the quest are $5 to $25. The quality will of course vary but I generally find them to be fun, engaging & good replay value.

I'll still cop the occasional xbox one game, like the Tony Hawk 3+4 reboot is a day 1 cop for me. But outside of an xbox game here and there, its VR all day for me

This like nikkaz don’t know where we come from nikka I been gaming since Nintendo been slapping up developers for not being on time with they shyt. You paid full price for a game you got a full ass game. DLC was baked in the game and you either unlocked it or there was a cheat code to enter to get it you had options.
