      They’ll make it cheap and have it stream games for a monthly subscription. Gamers will complain about it until the day it comes out and then they’ll all buy it because they’re incapable of voting with their wallets.

      Maybe it needs a stupid controller gimmick to mess the gameplay up with so that PC ports are not viable? Like, who even plays games without our second generation rumble with smell-o-vision olfactory release.

        unlikely to work unless they develop their own wireless protocol. if it’s just RF or bluetooth, people will just implement a driver and it’ll be done. that’s why wiimotes Just Work™ on pc now.

        if you already own one or can get a second-hand one for cheap, it has become a great machine for emulation with the current jailbreaks

            I think it’s worth it. Not only for emulation, you can do much more when you really control the hardware. You can run local AI, install linux, play homebrew, make the console a media center… it’s up to you.

      Because Daddy Sony says you have to buy one to play PS6 titles. No technical reasons other than those artificially imposed by the company.

        Well at least that would mean they’re releasing some titles, unlike the PS5 generation.
