So, uh.... Why does Elon even care about this?

Is this from that Iranian hack of the Trump organization or something?

"Fuck you... Unless I really like you. But extra fuck you if you run a non-PC gaming platform."

I mean, why give GabeN our email addresses then?

You see, there's the thing. Sony is not requiring any sort of launcher. It's an account.

"But mah privacy!"

Again, no launcher. What exactly are they going to track? That you're playing their game?

You really think GTA6 won't have a single player component? And that it won't require a Rockstar account/launcher?

Ok, cool.

Let's revisit this when Rockstar gets universal adoration for GTA6, which will absolutely require a Rockstar account & launcher.

So that's who that tool is that's trying to convince me I need to hate another game every time I rot my brain on TikTok.

I don't know how many times I've told that app I'm not interested in how much he hates Star Wars Outlaws.

Did they still find a way to blame their Western developers since they shed them all?

Wait until they make all the money that was to be made on their game.

Then yoink all of that money.

There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple. in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

I'm legitimately worried about next gen, since Sony is doing the same thing with their pricing as GPU manufacturers.

That thing being, the increase in price is >/= the actual increase in performance. The PS5 Pro is a 75% price increase over the similarly disc-driveless $399 PS5 (hardware which is almost a half-decade old now).

'Cyberpunk 2077' finally gets FSR3 frame gen for non-RTX GPUs — it's not FSR 3.1, but it works with basically any graphics card in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

For me, entirely the opposite.

I just bought the Lossless Scaling app on Steam for my RTX 3070. That shit is magic on the 144Hz 4K TV that my gaming PC is connected to. I play games exclusively with a gamepad, so I notice absolutely zero input latency.

I have fully drunk the frame gen Kool-Aid.

It's official: consoles cost as much as gaming PCs now in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

The PS5 Pro is a decent value compared to a PC. It's just not an amazing value like the original PS5 was in 2020.

Take PCPP's Entry Level AMD Gaming Build. Upgrade it to a 2TB NVME and a RX 6800 GPU. That's $830. ⁨ https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/NtFfrH/entry-level-amd-gaming-build⁩

That's pretty similar specs to the PS5 Pro (with a better Zen 3 CPU, but minus a gamepad).
