Nothing worse then wanting to play a game you haven’t played in a while and then having to redownload it…

Not even Dermatobia hominis? Or anthropogenic climate change? Or like, genocide?

Less than 0.01% of human history has even been documented…

Just because you can’t imagine anything better than what you were raised in doesn’t mean it can’t exist…

This too shall pass.

Yes… And your alleged intentions have clearly been well understood by everyone here…

Get over yourself; from your vocabulary it’s clear you’re not employed in a STEM field. You’re just some armchair pundit who wants to manufacture doubt by suggesting ideological bias has been introduced in someone else’s work because you don’t like the results of their study.

Don’t expect any further replies from me; it’s clear exactly what you are, and you’re not worth engaging with.

You could have protected your account info in the first place…

That you think strips of paper, or numbers on a screen have an equivalent value to your time and labor is not Sony’s fault…

“My home builder is totally useless! I left my door unlocked and someone stole all my shit!”

… And you value truth and accuracy so much that you are making assumptions rather than seeking out the actual study…

You already know what you want to believe, so you’re framing your interpretation to fit your presupposition.

Kick rocks, racist; no one here wants to talk to you, or hear what you have to say.

You better keep your promise.

As soon as you said you have employees, your perspective and respect lost all value.

You are not a part of the future of humanity; you are an opponent of it.

BAAAA!

Yes, if you’re the kind of person who is looking for ways to discredit victims and deny the existence of social problems, then any amount of ambiguity is easily manipulated.

Scientists should always define experimental protocols explicitly with ignorant apologists in mind…

…non-exploiting capitalist.

Did you read that term in a fairytale? 😂

Is your business structured as a worker cooperative or are you the owner?

If you take home a single penny more than the other people in your company, you are an exploitative capitalist and a labor thief. Take your market fundamentalist virtue signaling somewhere else…

Your “gotcha” reply just killed any credibility you might have argued on this topic. You are no better than the companies you’re criticizing, you’re just less successful at it.

I don’t need to advertise my contributions to strangers on the internet, and rationalize my behavior to satisfy a guilty conscience… The people in my community know what value I add.

Do better.

It’s also pretty likely that if this new entity struggles financially they can apply for a federal bailout since they are an essential business…

Because >20,000 children have died in Gaza since 2023 as a direct result of the same exploitative capitalism, and selective outrage over video games seems ignorant, performative, and wasteful of my energy…

Because every moment spent advocating for the “rights” of 1st world consumers is an affront to millions of lives lost so you have the comfort and privilege required to care about something so fucking stupid and selfish…

The only thing I am challenging is your claim that console has ceded market share to PC.

“Market share” has a defined meaning. Revenue for console and PC have both increased, one more than the other, but neither have gained any market share.

Maybe you just used the wrong metric to illustrate your point?

And see what, that no one has physical media and no one cares?

Selective outrage; got it. 👍🏻

PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo users can’t do that. They are forced to pay hefty prices for their games and then still get locked out of their games.

Based on the instance you’re on, you should know this statement is completely untrue…

…the console market has ceded market share to PC over the past few decades…

That statement is untrue; both have lost market share to mobile.

Again…

From 2006 to 2026:

• Console market share dropped 24%
• PC market share dropped 22%

PC isn’t “cannibalizing” shit… They are both losing to Mobile.

You can’t just ignore data that doesn’t agree with your argument…
