Please don’t do this to me. The whole point of a console is convenience, and it’s not like you had to test for multiple platforms. You control the hardware.

Stop giving these companies your money!

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Microsoft and Sony? I mean, I get it. All major corporations are fucking monsters. But…sometimes giving those particular companies no money is pretty damn hard. Money goes into their pockets from more places than you’d expect. Also, what, are you gonna suggest some ethical indie console?

Well, it's your choice, I don't give either company my money. I'd suggest switching to Linux and start pirating everything.

[–] sean_lemmy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Pirating still shows companies that their product has demand/value

You're better off switching to Indie games only to really protest the game publishers

[–] emeralddawn45@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 months ago

I mean not really. Even if they have a rough idea of how many times their game has been pirated by looking at seeder counts on torrents or whatever, theyre definitely not taking those numbers as a win and saying "look how many people didnt pay for our product, that just proves everyone really wants it". Theyre comparing sales numbers.

So you built your own cross compatible gaming system?
