Apparently some lawsuits have started on Sony's potential price-fixing of all games on their platform since they're now the only retailer. Before anyone gets excited, these are probably going nowhere, but it's neat that something is happening. The idea seems similar to the Epic vs Apple/Google lawsuits.

Or again, they are well aware of the implications and are fine with it.

Half the USA voted for a guy with dementia in 2020.

The USA often shows their general high education in those things. And when should they inform a real opinion about anything when they have to juggle 3 jobs to survive? Which totally is intended.

But "being fine with it" and REALLY understanding the long-term implications of whatever they do, are two kinda different things.

I don't even know why it pisses me off. I rent nothing and own what I wanna own/have. But most people can't. The vast majority of this silly planet is poor and will soon own absolutely nothing except maybe a T-shirt. Not even a fucking console game.

Most people are ok with not owning copies of movies or music when they are easily and readily available for super cheap whenever they want them. Games are much the same these days. Habits and priorities have changed.

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Habits haven't changed. They were changed. Big and essential difference. And the newer generations don't even know the other side anymore. Other have to cope/adapt/boycott. Also movies and such are not always available. Unless you have accounts everywhere.

With piracy, yes. I enter a movie or series name, wait 1-2 minutes and watch it in 4k...legally? Nah.
