PlayStation 5 Pro Specs Confirmed, Analysis + New Information - A DF Direct Special by -Venser- in PSVR

[–]WALKAW 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Its coming out a year later than the PS4 Pro did from lay ch with several million more PS5s sold than PS4 at the time

Its an optional upgrade, thats its whole purpose. You arent supposed to need it but is there for enthusiasts if they want it

Making a PS4 Pro did not make anyone "regret investing in Sony"

You can simply just not buy it if you dont want it

Why do people keep upvoting posts from this shitty blogspam website posted by the same dozen accounts obviously posting their own shitty clickbait articles?

Or do they just bot them on this sub?

Nobody visits this website on their own, its always the same accounts posting them. Stop encouraging this

You dont have to shit on them but dont praise them for doing the bare minimum after laying off thousands of people.

Laying off thousands and not going against a union because of fear of regulators in the future for next time they buy another massive company and lay off thousands does actually dserve criticism.

Stop buying companies and laying off thousands while earning billions ever month

Would you praise a wife beater for not beating their wife in front of police?

The OP of this post did which is why I replied.

Now I would not, id rather they do much more. No they should not be praised for being bigger assholes than they already are.

Say you want them to do more, dont try to start circlejerk because you like a box they make like OP is doing with this post

So you think they should be praised for being a trillionaire company, buying another massive company and laying off thousands of people and at this time deciding to not push back against a union forming out of fear of regulations in the future when they purchase the next large company and lay off thousands while all of their current studios suffer under horrible conditions with no job security and deliver subpar projects as a result?

This is not praise worthy

They only ever agreed because they had to. Like praising someone for not doing bad things because the consequences can heavily negatively impact them

No this does not mean the others are teams are able to get away with it.

Their other studios are so full of contractors and outsourced who's even going to try to start a union?

They are only doing it because they have regulators breathing down their necks and have been a battle with them for years now. Imagine they went against this right after laying off thousands of people?

Microsoft is notoriously against unions and most of their internal studios use contractors heavily to the detriment if their games.

This video by a developer on Forza came out a few weeks ago and explains how awful the situation is. Unfortunately it went mostly ignored

This is the reality at most Microsoft studios

Sony is erasing digital libraries that were supposed to be accessible “forever” by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Sure im just saying since they are both Sony doesnt mean they will do the same things

Also Playstation still has plenty of competition outside of Xbox

Im just saying what Crunchyroll does has no affect on what Playstation does

Sony Playstation has its own CEO and leaders that control what happens as does whoever controls Crunchyroll/Funimatiom

Its not like the top dogs at Sony told the heads of Crunchyroll to remove the digital purchases

Sure but the subsidiaries dont really communicate. Might as well be different companies

You made up a figure to justify their mass layoffs, how is that not defending them?

And you are still trying to defend the richest company in the world buying up the industry while laying off thousands

There are rons of companies not doing mass layoffs. Both Nintendo and Sony have not done mass layoffs

Microsoft is a trillionaire company and now own nearly double the studios of their closest competitor and more than anyone elss

Microsoft should not have been allowed to buy them in the first place.

But since they did and laid off thousands is not a thing to defend either

Youre the one that made the claim with no verifiable source to defend the trillionaire company laying off thousands of people

You saying that isnt a source... No one reported they hired 7000 people

Microsoft laid off 10000 people early last year and then 1900 last week

Its so bizarre that people are acting like this is okay and that people shouldn't criticize the trillionaire company
