Now I see why they never allowed custom backgrounds like the PS4. They wanted to do this from the beginning.

I think this was my last console, I’ll return to PC.

This isn’t actually ads, just the news tab being brought up front, on steam it would be the top row in your library if you didn’t remove it, it’s a good idea with terrible execution, everytime I see an update over there I go check out the game.

aStonedSanta,

Interesting. This makes more sense. Curious to see what we hear going forward.

celsiustimeline,

There’s a full screen advertisment for Spiderman Across the Spiderverse when the person is trying to play Spiderman Miles Morales.

The poorly designed feature itself isn’t about showing ads, it’s just showing the top item of the news feed. The news feed can have ads, depending on what the developer publishes to it, which is why I never scroll down to that section.

I’m so done buying console games, and consoles.

Not just because of this shit either. Games just run better on my PC. Like, a LOT better. Only thing I really use PS5 for anymore is playing blu-ray movies.

Guess I’m staying with my PS4 then. Fuck upgrading if all I’m gonna get for it is ads and like, 2 more games…

Noticed this last night. Shadow of the Tomb Raider, a game old AF has advertisement for Merch.

Jedi Survivor adre rises the EA gaming pass or whatever.

This is super shitty!

PCMasterRace. Each year, your consoles get shittier.

GoodEye8,

To be fair, Windows is getting worse every year as well and Linux isn’t officially supported by most developers so you kinda need to compromise somewhere.

I personally went with Linux because I got fed up with Windows bullshit and the games I can’t play are mostly games I’m not really interested in playing in the first place.

Asafum,

This is where I’m at too. I’m so fucking mad at the trajectory Microsuck is taking because I love indie games and getting into early access stuff and they often don’t work on Linux. Plus star citizen… Stupid anti cheat stuff doesn’t play nice with Linux :/

toynbee,

It’s been a year or two, but I had no issues with Star Citizen in Linux. IIRC, I ran it through Lutris.

The good thing is that Linux is officially becoming a market space that they have to pay attention to or lose money. Not because of us, but steam deck normalized it. 4% of users doesn’t sound like a lot, but to a company who is desperate enough to put ads everywhere just to make a few pennies, well, it may be worth it now

celsiustimeline,

Despite how shitty Windows is getting, the UX is still leagues better than any console.

paraphrand,

Microsoft master race, get it right.

aniki,

gross.

paraphrand, (edited )

I agree. People don’t want to face the truth. For the decades that the “PCMR” meme has existed, it’s all been about supporting Microsoft.

Sure, recently, the steam deck and Valve let you go “but Linux!” But the PCMR term is tainted. Always has been. You can’t tell me it was about Mac OS, Linux and Windows.

And this is before we look at the history of “master races.” It’s all really fucked up.

celsiustimeline,

I don’t think there’s any kind of consensus that PCMR was all about bigging up Microsoft. It’s about playing PC games, and using your technology with more understanding than your average console user. It’s implied that someone using a PC has Windows because Windows is installed on virtually every single PC on Earth. For the years I’ve spent frequenting r/PCMasterRace, I’ve never seen any outward Microsoft glazing.

paraphrand,

Yeah, I’m pointing to the obliviousness of the whole thing. It’s really strange. It’s not like Microsoft just pulled off their mask with Windows 11.

JigglySackles,

It all started as a gag joke on a bit from ZeroPunctuation.

Wilzax, do games w PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off

It always seems like 1 step forward, 2 steps back with console gaming

Asafum, do games w PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off

Man it is never enough with these greedy fucking assholes. I don’t even own one and I’m mad about this… It’s with everything lately… Soon we’ll have ads in our fucking dreams like Futurama…

“But not in our dreams!”

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Ugh the constan dream ad reruns

trying to get back in a nightmare to avoid seeing puppymonkeybaby again

Cannabis will be sold as a way to escape the constant dreamvertising.

Asafum,

I can’t even smoke anymore… Stupid anxiety… THC triggers panic attacks and I’ve finally gotten to the point where even if my bowl is 90% CBD it still gets me…

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Not to get all serious n shit but as a fellow sufferer i hope you’re getting your anxiety treated. I didnt listen to my friends when they told me it progressively gets worse and kept gutting it out until i was non-functioning and had to get a pro to get me back on my feet.

None of my biz just hope you’re taking care of yourself

Asafum,

I appreciate the concern!

I have to try again I suppose. I kinda gave up after every med I tried turned me into a zombie and made work really difficult because all I wanted to do was sleep. CBD really helps stop a panic attack, but the majority of my father’s side of the family has anxiety issues so I think my brain is just broken lol

the_post_of_tom_joad,

Never know, you could have undiagnosed adhd which when untreated for a lifetime manifests as anxiety and depression. Like me. Or it could be something different.

It might take you a bit to find it but that’s normal. Those friends of mine warned me it often takes time to find the right mix so you’re not unusual… Just prepare in advance to keep sloggin’ until something hits. It will, but it will take more time than you’d like. I wish i had a better sales pitch.

Finally don’t consider your genes or brain broken, that’s just our brain doin’ the same ol’ self-hate as usual but with extra stolen labcoat to slip our defenses

Asafum,

you could have undiagnosed adhd which when untreated for a lifetime manifests as anxiety and depression.

I see all the adhd memes and comments that usually makes me feel like “hmm maybe I do have this” but I also see a bunch of people saying “we all think that even if we don’t have it” lol thanks again for the concern!

Rai,

I had to look up what puppymonkeybaby is, thinking “am I too young for his”

Tommy horror, I am now too old for this.

Artist: designs really cool visual for gamers to see before launching

Sony: “Oooo, free ad real-estate!”

CaptDust, do games w PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off

Sweet, just in time for the pro. Fingers crossed the next revision doesn’t play games at all, just $1000 to pipe Morbius trailers to my TV. It’s all I ever wanted.

PunchingWood,

Sony will just flash their 30th anniversary skin again and people will forget and drool all over again.

mosiacmango,

Isn’t it rad that Sony designed the ps5 to have easily replaceable side panels and then for some reason only releases the really cool panels as part of a full console?

PunchingWood,

There will probably be loads of third-party panels just because of that lol, just need some spray paint for the the glossy middle part or something for the finishing touch

the_post_of_tom_joad,

I don’t know if you were part of the memers who got Morbius re-released but if so hats off because back then my in-laws were so excited to show me this movie they discovered on Netflix.

Just so well done

CarbonatedPastaSauce, do games w PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off

Guess it’s time to sell the PS5 that I don’t play anymore anyway.

newthrowaway20, do games w PS5 Homescreen Now Replaces Unique Video Game Art With Annoying Ads You Can’t Turn Off

I didn’t know this was something I agreed to when I bought my console.

Now to figure out if I can block this.

grue,

I didn’t know this was something I agreed to when I bought my console.

That’s 'cause it wasn’t! Sony is “exceeding authorized access” – a felony under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act – but won’t be prosecuted for $ome rea$on.

@acosmichippo@lemmy.world avatar

i guarantee you in the fine print they say they have the right to change anything they want any time.

grue,

“By loading this comment, you agree to give @grue one million US dollars, payable in full within one week.”

See? Anybody can make up unconscionable bullshit. The extent to which Sony’s terms are enforced is only a measure of how many corrupt judges need to be gotten rid of.

Now, pay up!
