Now let's see how reddit is taking it!

/r/games thread: honestly nothing too interesting, just sblot of seething "Oh, I guess someone needs new shoes," or "No guys, xbox is going to raise in price too."

/r/playstation thread: Least commented thread, but "I was always a playstation-boy" is such a weird line.

/r/ps5 thread: Easily the largest thread. Cries of 'xd socialism xd' and people who are actually mad fill the thread. Of course there's a little rubbing the salt in the wound from Xbox fans, even the bing bing wahoo fans make an appearance. Just remember this is "absolutely disgusting behavior."

Keep in mind, this is a recent development and will almost certainly be blowing up even more in the next few hours, so I'm sure more threads will pop up and people find out.

Even ResetEra is seething, and dont forget to check the comments on the Playstation blog link above.

It's not a big deal because if you divide the number of games you'll play on it by the new console price the result is still the same

I buy my games on PC because I'm not dumb enough to buy a shitty console to play sad lesbian walking simulators

I have a rtx 3070ti laptop (use purely for studying) and will buy next month a desktop with 3080 rtx. But I still don’t buy games on pc because why pay for something if you can get for free ? And I like playing on ps because of trophies it feels more rewarding but I do play my switch game often on pc because of better frame rate and I kinda love moding scene on consoles like it feel so much cooler making mods and cheats for ps4 than pc because barely anyone can do it

I am functional neurodivergent, when I understand game will take long to plat I cheat 💅🏽 I also skip farming part and replaying most of the times. Like I know I won’t spend hours to farm enough money to buy every monster in new persona (shin megami tensei soul hacker 2 (kek I will hack a game about hacking + I won’t buy it since it has a disk release so some one will rip it))
