Interested enough to get something for free =/= interested enough to drop 60 (or 50 or 40 or 30) US dollars on it.

Lost of places don't sell quite a few games, or don't sell versions of games. I deal with people in Brazil who complain about games not being legally available to them all the time. Maybe get off your high horse. Also you're a liar, nobody who frequents the internet hasn't listened to music that was stuck on youtube illegally.
Also, people pirate console games. Like, all the time. There are shops that will hack your syst...
You know I get cracked versions of games I buy to get around DRM right? I'm willing to pay for games. I'm not willing to pay for BS DRM that takes control of my computer away from me and/or spies on me.
No it wouldn't, they'd just have to redesign the controls/menu between the input devices. The real time with pause games don't tend to work on console without major overhuals (think Dragon Age Orgins) because controllers can't give commands fast enough to allow you to control a whole party without the game getting super tedious, but turn based games don't have that issue
No. PC is not *their* platform. Nobody cares that sony has created their walled garden, because Sony isn't sticking it's fingers in an open platform and trying to close it off.
Also, no it wouldn't. I'm sure MS would like you to think that though. You can Wine (or run a virtual machine) to play the vast majority of games (if they don't have linux support in the first place,) *especially* the older ones where virtual machine performance loss will be a non...
Oh, is it their "fix" for not having proper full screen exclusive mode? Because "game mode" is not actually of any benefit if you have already given the game CPU priority and have actual full screen (as opposed to borderless windowed) on.
Not impressed by them spending 18 months fixing a problem they created that wouldn't need fixing if they hadn't been incompetent.
I'm not compromising on letting my open platform be controlled by MS.
IF you do, and MS does something obnoxious like refuse let developers access Windows 10 features without using the UWP format/their store exclusively or, say, refusing to update windows 7 and 8 to support new CPU architectures, you have only yourself to blame. They don't care if you say you don't like it, they care if you pay them. Not paying them is the only way to change their behavior.
if by "PC support" you mean "trying to take over the platform and make it their own little garden" then sure.
After their Windows 10 stealth upgrade nonsense, refusing to update windows 7 or 8 to support new CPUs, the windows 10 store being incredibly bad, and the consitently bad performance of UWPs, I'll switch to Linux and WINE everything before I go to Windows 10. Screw Windows 10, Screw MS. They can keep their windows 10 exclusives.
I know right? Did they ever think that maybe people actually liked the design sensabilities they're so quick to jump away from chasing "international" audiences and that's why there were successful in the first place?
It would be like taking K-ON!! and releasing a sequel without all the exaggerated cutesy anime shorthand or weird songs about staplers. Like, great, you've now removed half the characters personalities, 2/3rds of the humor, and all of the...
Right here.
Timed Exclusives are BS, doesn't matter who does them.
The PS4 Pros ability to "handle it" with any game that is even slightly demanding is up for debate. I'd take 1080p/60 or 1440p/60 over 4k/30 with effects turned down any day. I have a 4k TV and everything, but the better effects and higher framerate represent a bigger improvement than the resolution does, just not in the carefully selected and touched up screen shots they use for marketing.
There is no particular reason to think the Scorpio will be much diffe...
Capable of running it yes, capable of running it well probably not. They're very likely using mid range AMD tech for the GPU, if we assume that then we also know it can't do VR very well. The 2160x2400 of the Oculus (for example) is a lot to ask of that kind of tech if you're dealing with games with modern graphics (the equivilant of running somewhere between 1440p and 4k) and it has to do so at like 90 FPS or make everyone horribly sick. Something that looks like Rise of the Tomb...
Obviously they're perverted. That's the point. People are perverts, and the more they insist that they aren't preverts the more perverted they are likely to be.
And when I say people, I mean people, not just men. Did you know roughly 51% of women have rape fantasies (not usually the dark violent kind,) and between 9 and 17% have them on a regular basis? And that these numbers are probably low because we are likely to be shamed if this is known and so hide this f...
Also, input devices. Touch Screens are dog **** for most game types, and having to carry around a controller is just one extra thing to do, which is why handhelds continue to exsist despite the mobile phone market eating most of the casual crowd.
It doesn't need to be completely original. The point is, they aren't aiming for realism and are instead aiming for a distinctive art style. "Realistic" graphics age pretty badly as we get increasingly realistic graphics from more powerful hardware.
Meanwhile, games like, say, Chrono Trigger, Jet Set Radio Future and Wind Waker age incredibly well, because aside from problems (like low resolution) that also impact "realistic looking" games, they b...
@Goldby
Except it's NOT for the greater good. That's the problem. You open the door to legal abuses by bad people in a corrupt government to oppress and victimize people. We have things like the 4th amendment (and the seperation of judicial and executive powers) specifically to disallow the government doing something like, say, seazing all the personal information everyone in an attempt to identify and persecute political dissent or racial heritage. (Both of which t...
That's not how legal terms work. It is literally private information and literally in private space. It's the difference between the government having the right to moniter everything that happens in the street, and having the right to moniter everything that happens in your house (wether or not you leave the windows open and make it visible to other people, intentionally or otherwise.)
I specifically stated that isn't the law, so I don't know what point you&...
@ziggurcat
Did you? Because Sony turned over the information, and then the FBI got a warrant to get information from google and century link. Notice how they had the information from Sony first. That's the problem.
I never claimed that due process was completely ignored, but it was sidestepped. It would take all of 30 seconds for the FBI to get a warrant if Sony claimed they had evidence of and personal data on someone sperading child porn.

No, actually, the PSN is private space. It's not owned by the state or funded by tax money. The government was allowed to get private information about a private citizen without a warrant. That shouldn't be allowed, full stop. How it should work.
Step 1) Idiot uploads illegal porn to PSN
Step 2) Sony tells government and gives evidence that doesn't consist of private information (ie, the porn)
Step 3) Government gets warrant for personal inform...
Why would they bother? BF1 is essentially all about the multiplayer. No point cracking it when the cracked version wouldn't be very likely to work online. It's not that they can't do it, it's that nobody cares enough about the campaign to bother.
