It’s not.
You say that with such confidence, but the counter disagrees.
We all live in denial of something…
Please refer to this helpful diagram:
Yeah… The singleplayer games being unplayable is extremely stupid. Was going to play Dying Light, which came out a long time ago but zero games, disc or not, will start.
Let’s make sure no single player games work either as well as our new disc-free console for real pros.
A shit ton of services are down right now. Smells like an attack.
Never ascribe to malice what can be explained by incompetence.
any sufficiently stupid action is indistinguishable from malice
Ads popping up in your game list, price hike on playstation plus. Geez investing in a gaming PC is looking better and better.
The ads were confirmed to be a visual bug. I do miss when PSN was free.
I lost my account back then when the big hack happened near the end of the PS3 era. I haven’t looked back. I called, I begged, and as far as I could tell everyone else was good to go.
I only got the PS3 so I could game with my childhood friends. They eventually stopped playing together anyway after a bunch of us died off to the opioid epidemic.

100% the right choice. For the same $700 a playstation pro costs, you can get something good. If you can pony up to $1000, you can get something great.
You’ll make the cost difference up in game price savings in no time. Shit is legitimately cheap, especially if you’re in no hurry.
What would you recommend for a 700 setup? Just processor and gpu is fine. They would be most of the budget.
I updated the above with some links. This is spec’ed solidly for around that price:

I personally prefer AMD to Intel at this point, but it’s a touch pricerer right now:

Either one will work great, but the $1200 rig is where I would recommend if you can swing it. It’s the best bang for your buck, and will stay a solid gaming rig for 4-5 years, longer if you like indies:

Indies are often worse because they don’t have the time to spend on optimization. Especially those made to be first-person 3D.
Sticking to 2D/light-3D games, older games (try [email protected] or [email protected] ) and games made PC first (not console first) are my tips as someone with a not-quite-gaming laptop. The last one is the hardest, but as someone who optimized games for consoles for years I can tell you optimization for PC was always the last thing on our minds: get it to run, and raise the required specs.
Much appreciated, thanks
Purchases are not investing. Why do people say this?
Any money you spend that saves you money could be considered investing. You can get creative with considering time to be money or what you would have spent on consoles when competition doesn’t exist to bring down prices long-term.
Wait price increase when? Another one??
I was talking about the one last year but sure as chit, there will be another coming soon.
What’s super annoying is that I only use my PS4 to stream Hulu or Mac, nothing else. But I can’t even do that because I am not signed into the PS Network.
Services like Hulu should not rely on PSN.
I could be wrong, but last time i had a Playstation(4) you xould just open the app and log in with out signing in.
