Booo people want to keep buying games on discs. Stop removing customer choice.

    I have to admit I quite like Sony earbuds and headphones.

    Of course I use them with Gadgetbridge (open source alternative app) and avoid having their cursed app on my phone.

    A company that put rootkits in music CDs doesn't get to run code on my phone.

    Anything else they make can stay out of my house, particularly consoles.

    Whelp, I already decided that my PS5 is going to be the last Sony console I have. If you're going digital only I have zero reasons to not just go all in on Steam. ยฏ\(ใƒ„)/ยฏ

    Was already not happy about their removal of the ability to transfer your saves to a USB stick, forcing their cloud instead. However if it had stayed with that I could have dealt with it, not like I really need backup saves 99.9% of the time. Still, a nail in the coffin is a nail in the coffin.

    Wasn't there some exposed boot loader keys for the PS5? I'm somewhat hoping to turn my PS into a Linux steam box one day...

    Unfortunately I still want to play games on it until then, so I won't prevent firmware updates, yet.

    I'm definitely not in the market for a PS6 (when it will be released) however.

    Yes you can! It is however dependent on the firmware level. Check: https://github.com/ps5-linux/ps5-linux-loader

    I know about that, unfortunately I'm on the latest system software - I did only recently turn off automated updates.

    And IIRC my PS+ subscription (which I still use) will try to force me to update when a new version is out.

    So, should I disable PS+ just for the hope the Linux Bootloader will catch up to my system software version? That's why I hope for an (unpatchable) boot exploit.

    Sony asking customers what they think about owning games while simultaneously destroying their ability to make physical games.
