I’m still hanging out enjoying Balatro and WoW: Cataclysm Classic this week, but I’ve also decided to take gran turismo 5 for a spin. Genuinely great game, I’m glad I was able to find a copy.

The PS4 and Xbox One came out a decade ago. The PS5 and Xbox Series X came out 4 years ago. What are you talking about?

I think it has more to do with the 117 million units the ps4 has sold, making the console more accessible

Because some gamers think windows would be better for this. And maybe a little bit of gamer brand loyalty

It’s not a controversial take, but survivorship bias is certainly strong with anything like this. People like classic rock because the bad songs from that era have faded into obscurity. The same goes for your favorite retro games; for every Ocarina of Time there was a Superman 64. For every Zelda there were 3 shitty LJN games.

The type of trash is just different. Instead of low-effort cash grab games, now we get high-effort overworked devs making a game that asks you to pay for it over and over again.

Honestly, my argument that new and old games are both good would be to point straight at the Ratchet & Clank series.

In my opinion, it’s only gotten better with time, and the latest entry in the Series from 2021 is genuinely one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. It’s modern, cutting-edge, requiring a PCIe Gen4 SSD and a DualSense controller for the best experience. It’s just fantastic. New games, even AAA games, can be great so long as the project is being led by people who know how to make good games.

It’s not dumb at all, no need to downplay your passion. Loud and proud I say!!

My favorite is the PS3. Something about its design and library just speaks to me.

I actually picked up a ps3 slim and a decent handful of physical games. You can still buy digital ps3 games too on the console itself

The only good new mobile games are on Apple Arcade, which is behind a paywall. It sucks but what can ya do.

Yeah, to be honest, if Apple’s model is not legal, then neither is Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo…

It’s a good argument.

Microsoft is edging closer to a monopoly, which may be why they’re making this move.

This is true, but they’re also now selling digital-only consoles. For some customers, the digital store is their only choice.

You can buy Apple gift cards in other stores too

Right, but I feel that this method of distribution is very similar to gift cards in that the retailer has no control over pricing, promotions, etc. additionally, these codes cannot be re-used.

No word on platform availability but I’m nearly certain Linux will be one of the platforms.

I would be very surprised if it weren’t.

Is this exclusive to windows or does it work on Linux and macOS as well?

More! Yes! Hit them where it hurts

Support agents are using GPT to speed up their workflows now. I’m a senior support engineer for a multinational corp and they made us an AI bot to use. It’s basically useless though

It’s a Bethesda game. It wouldn’t feel right if it were bug-free.

I hope I will be pleasantly surprised then!
