Entitled to your own opinions and active decisions, but it seems a little silly to cut off your nose to spite your face. I totally get standing on morals and everything, but now you’ll just be missing out on some of the “biggest” and “best” games that come out. Subjective ofc, but as you describe yourself as a historic PS fan, it seems odd to just cut them off when your decision to do so singularly doesn’t change or affect anything on either side apart from your ability to enjoy their games. Again, you do you but it’s a shame you’ll miss out on all the goodness. Admire the conviction, but yeah…

At the end of the day, it is conviction. I've done it with other products before. It's not so much because I expect it to change the company, but it's more about bringing attention to the big issues I have with them to people who might not be aware. Maybe it'll make them think a bit. That's all. But I appreciate the input. 😁

Playstation still has plenty of games locked into the platform. The only people that will boycott Sony this easily have never been Playstation fans. I could swear I've seen the same video from someone else's, stop being a baby. Does this mean you're not going to play Stellar Blade and Astrobot? Two of the years' best games. I hope Sony acquires From Software so you can backtrack everything you said.

I was a massive Playstation fan. The PS2 was my favorite console. But they're not the same company they used to be. And no, I won't play Stellar Blade or Astrobot. And if they buy From Software, I guess Elden Ring is the last game I'll buy from them. I'm sure it's hard for some people to believe, but I can cut myself off from things I 100% disagree with and have NO regrets.

They either ALL shouldn’t, or they should require it up front for features that actually need it. No one wants to do something that has no benefit or rational reason for doing it.

Well Garrett, as an avid PlayStation gamer since 2001 when I got the PS2, I can firmly state that your points from this video make it increasingly clear Sony increasingly wants full control over consumers' rights to games for their platform. The PS2 will always be the greatest PlayStation console of all time because all you have to do to play your games on it is to connect your PS2 console to a power source and a video output, turn the PS2 on, insert the disk for the game you wish to play, and begin playing once you have a controller hooked up to it. PS2 games may be decades old by now but they will always remain accessible and fun for years to come because they don't require an internet connection, a PSN login (something that didn't exist in the PS2 era), or downloads of licenses that take up tens to hundreds of gigabytes of software.

I know this isn't quite the same, but the same concept applies to the merging of Funimation and CrunchyRoll... Anything you might have had access to on Funimation's site/service that wasn't brought over to CR is gone forever if you want to stream it legally. Oh and guess who's responsible for that? The one.. the ONLY... SONY. They own CR/Funimation now, so I feel anime fans are hurting due to Sony's douchebaggery as well. Good video, Garrett.

I completely agree with the outlandish upgrade prices. However, the “never turn off their machine” argument is kind of odd. These machines draw between 3-5 watts at idle and the SoC architecture is based on the same architecture as a phone SoC, but significantly more powerful. When was the last time you turned off your phone?

Yep Xbox One X is still dope that you can play all Xbox Series X games physical because Microsoft Xbox has a thing called Smart Delivery which is backwards compatible with both current and last gen Xbox One X generations and I have the same model while also have the Xbox Series X console matter of fact I have every generation Xbox since it first came out in 2001. Now I’m just waiting for Microsoft Xbox to finally release their Video Gaming Handheld Console hopefully they can push it out end of next year or early 2026 but it seems like Phil Spencer said in that it’s gonna take them a while like maybe two more years till it’s finally complete maybe because they still trying to make it best as possible with Switch 2 and PS Portal & PSP Vita Sony PS5 with everything they have on support with PSP and PlayStation Television & Monitor!

The removable SSD on the Mac Mini M4 isn’t really there for easy upgrades with third-party options. It’s primarily a safety feature. If the device completely fails, the SSD can be removed, and the data transferred to another device, so it’s not permanently lost with the motherboard. While this is great for data recovery, Apple is unlikely to make SSD upgrades or replacements user-friendly.
