Indeed. Sadly, I don't see antitrust doing anything, at least here (US). Maybe EU antitrust... we'll see tho.

However, if you want to legally play a PlayStation title in 2028, your *only choice* (outside of gray-market key resellers) will be Sony's price. That is a new problem, and the real story here.

People who are saying this harms preservation are worried about the wrong thing. Preservation of digital-only games will continue the same way it has in the past with both physical and digital games (largely, by a word starting with P and related to skulls and crossbones).

The part that is most concerning (at least, imo) about the PlayStation ordeal is that it will give Sony and publishers near-complete control over pricing. There are a lot (seriously, A LOT) of games that you can find secondhand that are *massively* cheaper than the same game on digital stores.

Here's my newest bit of fun: ABadAvatar, a fully automatic from-boot dashboard exploit for the Xbox 360, using Grimdoomer's BadUpdate exploit! This isn't the final release, but I wanted to get an official source for it before things got *too* out of hand :p github.com/shutterbug20...

This isn't in reference to anything in particular, just a general thing xD

This is how Nintendo makes decisions. No, you cannot convince me otherwise. ;p

Hi! Finally moved from you-know-where after the recent changes. I do dev stuff, usually related to reviving game servers!
