    How do you have the authority to know that my opinion is minority opinion, then?

    “It isn’t ME that’s wrong, its Lemmy, reddit, twitter, PlayStation blog, Facebook, etc. Was hoping [insert community here] would be different”

    I know that the majority of PlayStation gamers don’t support this because they deleted the PlayStation blogpost that they announced this on because of all the backlash. They’ve been community noted on every tweet they’ve put out since for their anti consumer bs.

    Community notes on twitter are majority opinion at least on that platform.

      How many people do you think there are online complaining about this? 1,000,000? 10,000,000?

      Let’s be unreasonably generous and say that 100,000,000 people are online right now, incensed by this move! That’s 2.7% of gamers.

      At least TRY and put your opinions into some kind of perspective before acting like they are universal truths…

        Wll I mean if we’re just going off the perspectives being offered online the ONLY person I’ve seen defend this is you, who worked with console companies in the past.

        On the other hand even entire development and retail companies with huge skin in the game like Nippon Ichi Software, Atari, Iam8bit, and the Entertainment Retailers Association have voiced that they are against this.

        Wanna know what’s even better? Sony did this without telling a single one of their partners they were going to do this. And you trust them to make the right moves with the things I buy from them? They don’t even respect their fucking publishers and retail partners.

        So far only companies I can find FOR this decision are the ones you have worked for which, color me shocked, think that they are making the right decision!

            Yes there is. The wrong decision is the one that is anti consumer as Sony will learn in the following years after this is implemented.

                Yes. I speak for every industry in the entire world that being anti consumer is the wrong decision.

                Maybe not short term which you seem to have trouble thinking past, but long term yes.

                You speak for all console gamers when you say physical ownership doesn’t matter, or just the console companies you used to work with/for?

                Also, you seem to not understand that a companies decisions doesn’t have to be based off what people want. If it did, there wouldn’t be any anti consumer decisions ever because by its very definition anti consumer is against the consumer.

                Also, last I checked all 3.7gorillian gamers don’t all play on PlayStation

                  There’s really no in continuing any discussion if you truly believe it’s not possible for other consumers to have different values, opinions, or perspectives than you do.

                  No one will ever be able to reason you out of an opinion you arrived at through unreasonable means.

                    Are you unable to comprehend that anti consumer means against the consumer?

                    By its very definition it is not what consumers want.

                    Or it would be called, PRO consumer.

                    You aren’t a consumer only you also work for these people. Color me shocked you hold anti consumer opinions.
