And they’re not.
And you’re not obligated to buy their products
Is piracy a thing on modern consoles?
Use emulation. Can’t play the latest, but there’s no shortage
Depends on your firmware and such. It often takes time, but they’ll all be jailbroken eventually.
Not even true
99% of the games worth playing on them come out on PC, so yes.
Look into the bounty on a PS5 firmware crack.
15k seems like a nice sum. I’m guessing it’s pretty locked down if a few months’ pay hasn’t led to anything
Or it could be an attempt to drive the sum up since Sony pay for bugs found. That said, these things take time to find too.
Noone could have possibly anticipated this
Haha stupid consumer.
Yes, that’s correct, they are under no obligation. Obviously. It would be nice if they did that, but there is obviously no obligation.
Not surprising considering most companies have no plans to refund the consumer for the tariff costs they passed on because there’s no regulation forcing them to do so.
did most companies pass it on though? some didnt and in those cases why should they?
why?
because fuck you. that’s why.
They must just need more time to do the right thing naturally without being legally obligated?
Self regulation and the free* markets in action
Guess I’ll continue pirating their shit.
Ha ha ha ha. It was a fucking griffffttttt!!!
Trump knows no other way. He milked a casino dry ffs.
Sony already don’t want me to buy their games, so at least they’ve ensure they don’t owe me a refund.
I really hate that companies being hostile to their customers has become normalised such that it’s really expected.
There’s very clearly a right and scrupulous thing to do. Not having an obligation to do that is not an excuse not to.
The reality is that it was all just a way to give a stimulus to companies without saying directly
That’s obvious, and it’s not what I’m talking about.
If the government wanted the people to have it they could have stipulated that or, better yet, given it directly to the people. You need a complicit government for ‘privatized profit; socialized loses’
We over charged you and you can suck it.
People are butthurt about this but don’t have the willpower to not buy or use their products.
Sucks but it’s true. I’ve been trying to de-microsoft my household for over a year now. My partner won’t switch away from Windows, despite how fucking bad 11 is, and we’re still paying for office 365, even though I haven’t used MS office on a non-company computer for about 15 years at this point.
I haven’t had anything sony in decades. Everything I got from them was overpriced trash that broke under very meager circumstances.
Next on my chopping block is Google. Once the my phone is paid off, I’m switching to Graphene. Currently trying out open street maps, and trying to spin up my own email server so I can ditch my Gmail account.
Or to vote for someone who has more than one word in their vocabulary: tariffs
Beautiful
TBF, I’m not getting one from Linux, either.
You’re not? I got the same amount I spent back.
Mine was a 200% return! Interest was included!
