Sony are idiots, the whole concept of a console is now dead thanks to them, the whole advantage of a console over a PC is “it just works”. You plug it in, you turn it on, and you’re playing games. You don’t have to worry about whether or not the games will run on your system, you don’t have to worry about your device specs, it’ll work. If it doesn’t work, it wouldn’t be on the system. Easy.
Of course the sacrifice is that there’s much fewer choices due to the lack of indie games and mods.
But now the experience is identical to that on PC, you just download stuff off the internet, hopefully you have fast internet that isn’t pay by the megabyte. Since you’re going to have to do that anyway, now you might as well buy a PC and get all the extra games and features.
