If someone actually cares, sell your ps5/move to another platform. Nothing else matters. This is like how sports game fans complain every year that the game sucks but are still willing to drop 80 dollars on it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Mikina@programming.dev 21 points 1 month ago (1 child) still willing to drop 80 dollars on it. *150$ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] msage@programming.dev 8 points 1 month ago (1 child) LOL.

There's so many cool indie games if you know where to dig, there's really no need to play another remastered AAA slop. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mecen@lemmy.ca [S] 13 points 1 month ago Agreed it should be: starting 23 of August not purchasing any digital games and microtransactions. It would hurt Sony the most permalink fedilink source parent
