T =/= D. That's not a complicated concept. If it was not knowing how to spell or pronounce a word like wild, an actual example of a word that doesn't make any sense, then yuo'd have a point.
the question was "why would we need different consoles." The answer is all of those things I said. Just because consoles don't compete or compete as much on those levels right not doesn't mean that can't. In fact they should be even if 3rd party exclusives still exsist it's nothing but beneficial to us if they compete that way.
There is a wonderful thing called a settings menu. Even some PS4 Pro games have them now. Even without them, the game ca...
IT's a choice *for you.* Many people simply don't have the option to buy multiple consoles.
Stop championing "choice" that is in no way beneficial to the consumer. The consumer friendly choice (and an actual choice) would be to be able to purchase and play any game on any system. Obviously there are technical limitations and monitary that prevent that, but there is 0 benefit to you (or any other consumer) when companies pay for 3rd party or timed exclusi...
.....Is this a joke? Like, is this satire or do you actually not know what the word parody means?
Hardware. Software (as in OS, voice chat, ability to stream, ect.) Digital Storefronts usability, pricing and return policies. You know, doing things that would actually benefit us instead of purchasing 3rd party exclusives and screwing people out of playing games they otherwise would have in order to falsify a sense of value.
Maybe the *hardware* manufactureres could compete by making good hardware. Or, they could compete as a digital storefront. I mean, it's not like Steam and GOG manage to maintain their identity even though they share a hardware/software platform.
Also, their culture? They're a company, not a country, if you care about the "culture" of Sony consumers you need to fix your prorities, because it has lieterally 0 value outside of stupid fanboy/fangirl wars.

No, it's the kind of thing someone who's tired of having to spend upwards of $1000 usd on the 3 major consoles when they do 90% of their gaming on 1 machine.
It's the kind of thing someone who recognizes that most people don't have said grand to drop on those consoles and don't deserve to be denied fantastic games says.
It's the kind of thing someone who wants Sony/MS/Nintendo to compete with actual hardware instead of falsifying...
Lots of games from 1999 (and earlier) are better than FF15. When your historically story focused jrpg series gets "praise" like "mediocre story but the combat makes up for it" you've ****ed up.
It's actually everyones right. It's called free speech. Also it's called capitalism.
You are aware that most people live in places with high population density? If you do something like work in a grocery store, even in a fairly low population density area you're still going to see that many people.
Also, how would you know? Most trans people don't go about advertising it, or even want anyone to know. Something about not wanting to be treated differently, or to get the crap kicked out of them, or to be raped and beheaded (depending on where in the w...

That's not true either. The suicide rates of people who do want surgery, and who have had surgery, are similar to the point of being the same. What's dramatically different is the suicide rates of people who do and don't want surgery (ie people who are and aren't confortable with their bodies)
That's not true. 300 million US citizens. 1 million trans people. 0.003% chance any given person is trans. In your life do you expect see more than 1000 people? In bigger cities you'll see several times that many people per day. Of those thousand people, 3 of them are probably trans. A tiny % of the population, but a tiny % of a big ass number still makes it pretty likely you'll "run across" several, if not several per day, if you live anywhere but the smallest towns. ...
Seeing as they're way more likely to be the target of descrimination and various violent and/or sexual crimes and to be unusually poor in relatively rich countries, and there is a direct link between these things and suicide no matter what group of people you're talking about, maybe that has something to do with it?

Sure. Hey Marvel, how many billion dollars did you make in net profit this year?
Marvel: "Well, just the Doctor Strange box office was a net 123 million dollar profit. Use your imagination"
It's not (necessarily) realistic, but it still reflects reality. Want an extremely simple example? Just about every action game pre-supposes that it's ok to use not only force but lethal force to defend yourself. That's a political statement, people don't all agree with. It's a political statment that Dishonored *doesn't* agree with, as it gives you bad ending for using lethal force for any reason.
Or, or, artists agree.
Yes, yes...
You have confused "people who are transgeder," "people who want representation" and "the authoritarian left." There is overlap, but these are all different groups.
Also, lol. Maybe stick to cubert then. If you play Deus Ex or Knights of the Old Republic 2 or literally anything Bioware has ever made or Fallout 1/2/New Vegas, Final Fantasy (any of them,) The Witcher, Civilisation, Saints Row, GTA, Red Dead Redemption, and many, many more, that is...
If trans people, who are routinely fired, beaten, raped, denied housing, harassed, arrested for using the restroom, humiliated at the DMV, denied medical care, ect, could just "pick the sex they currently are" what possible reason is there that they would do anything else? They would have an objectively better life.
And no, we can't. Games (and every other art form) are a reflection of real life created by real people. Politics of every kind are inevitable, o...
Nope. They do not give access to or in any way endorse any form of copyright infringement. They are building a tool to replicate the result (the playable game) and as long as they don't use code with a copyright they're perfectly safe.
Not how that works sweetie. I liked an example I came across so I'm going to us it. I'm just going to assume you're a guy for the purpose of the example, but if you're not all you have to do is replace a couple terms for it to work, or better yet google it and both trans people and psycholoigists will tell you more.
Imagine that, starting tomorrow, you were forced to wear dresses and makup and a wig and have everybody treat you like a girl every day. Does ...
much lower than 1st party exclusives yes, lower than exclusives in general no. Sure when it was the PS3 and the 360, 2 wildly different machines, then yeah, but the PS4 and Xbone are slightly different version so the same machine. It's not some great trial to port from an X86 AMD Jaguar APU to an X86 AMD Jaguar APU.
No. See, thats why the companies would have to actually compete with hardware. Even if visual parity if forced, the performance won't be (See: the PS4 ...
