The idea is to encourage the opposite. If they want access to furnace, Germany, Italy, they need to make it available in smaller countries. It becomes financially viable to cater to small countries when not doing so loses the big countries.

Trust their motivation. They are worried that ai including LLM processing will be mainly on Linux and they’ll be left behind. They are just following where they think the money will be. It just happens to be good for Linux and consumer choice, but that’s a side effect, not the reason.

Yeah, bit they sell less and less these days. I think one FIFA was on PS+ about 18monyhs after release. The most recent one was less than a year. They can only milk so much.

The pill that needs to be swallowed is large companies losing money if they ask for data too.

Sure, those who want can hand over their data. Those that don't can decode not to and sail the seas instead of paying.

I certainly won't pay for games on of that force a PlayStation account despite having a PlayStation.

No, lots of PlayStation games have allowed for a free update to the ps5 version.

Sony's licensing has been odd, though but I have no doubt that its easily doable and moneynisnthe issue.

I am a long term PS+ subscriber. This constant deprecation and nickel and diming is going to make my next purchase a steam deck. I only subscribe for online play, the games are a bonus. They are usually not my tyoe. Or often are just bad.

As console gaming and PC gaming converge, crappy console walled garden stuff just moves players awaybfrom consoles. They marker ps4 or ps5 games as separate products, but in reality, they are the same product with different graphics libraries (among other differences). With a PC, with fragmentation, I get to choose those assets as my hardware changes. On a console, they lock in with less choice and then try and charge again when I upgrade my hardware? Why would I choose the poorer, more expensive product?

I'm surprised they made 440m. However, investing in r+d is not unusual. This amount is not a huge investment for them based in overall revenue.

After the expiry of the copyright i assume.

Which? Tv show or game?

Is it still ludicrously overpriced? Like worth more than the combined value of other companies with more profit, more sales and bigger market share? All while other companies are catching up in tech with better build quality, better marketing and no poisonous head?

It might be that due to so many games getting released, many confuse it for a rerelease or extra content rather than a full game.

They don't need to fine them in every country. Just in Germany. If they pull our of Germany, they need to pull out of the EU. They are not doing that. They will make their document open, for real.
