Maybe the PS6 (and next Xbox) will be a $100 streaming box, and the games will be run on their servers, and you’ll pay a monthly fee to access the games, which gives you a break on the cost of the game, which you won’t own, you’ll just borrow a license to it.
And you’ll like it. /s
But really, on one hand it kinda sidesteps the issue of RAM/storage cost, but it’s also kinda shitty. It also begs the question of, why do I need their box at all? I should be able to pay for their streaming service and run that on my MacBook Air. I mean if they’re doing the heavy lifting, why do I need to buy their branded box at all? And PlayStation does not like to play well with others.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you’re submitting before posting to see if it’s already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don’t share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don’t want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

It also rules out all the customers who have shitty internet.
