No. Anyone serious about gaming wont put up with the extra input lag and video compression.
And it certainly wont have any impact what so ever on people who want to lend, borrow, swap, sell or collect physical games.
It won’t. PlayStation fans have a physical console and physical games they can play, lend, swap, sell, collect, or use as a coaster.
There, fixed.

Nothing Google/Stadia do for the next 100 years will resonate with gamers as much as that single video did.
They make it sound like its going to be oasis from ready player one.
Tired of people crying on behalf of a corporation and using the shitty justification that everything is ok because another corporation is/was worse. Do you not have the brain cells to process how following that logic ends up with gamers having to settle for the lowest common denominator?
Even the best games on here are so cheap to buy that it doesn't make sense to pay a subscription.
e.g. titanfall 2 is £3.99 on PSN at the moment, probably even cheaper for a used physical copy.

Maybe I did go overboard, but I'm tired of seeing so many people on N4G jumping on those who call out bad practices and screw ups just because it involves a company they're in love with.
I wouldn't have a problem if the counter argument was a constructive one, but it rarely ever is.

Rather than ridicule him because you want to remain ignorant to the fact that being shocked is a widely used expression, put your worthless loyalty to one side and try and look at the bigger picture which is that this is a shitty thing for gamers and we should oppose it.
Whether it was intentional or not, Rockstar fucked up here, and roaming around N4G like their paid bitches isn't going to change that.
Why are you the arrest anyone who asks about Sony police?
Have you considered that I dont play on xbox or give a shit about it? Dumb fuck.
If Sony care about gamers being disadvantaged why don't they offer standard PS4 users like myself the option not to be put up against PS4 Pro users who have a frame-rate and resolution advantage?
Loaded for me and unlike other sites they arent giving me a lecture about using adblock.
Awww bless. They think that the devs care about them after they've already handed their money over.
Free isnt mentioned once in the announcement:

And since you're so clever, you might be able to tell me how I can download them without paying since you insist that they are 'free'.
Congratulations. You're ripe for the picking as far as EA are concerned.
The more important question is whos sponsored you to take an anti-consumer stance?
The aim is to higher the standards, not lower them to xbox standards.
1) You clearly don't understand what 'free' means.
2) Sony don't use the word 'free' because they're not free.
Go to school kiddo.
Yeah its a shame.
Half these blind loyalists probably arent even old enough to have experienced PS+ in its full glory back in the days when it was optional, but now they know whats best for everyone. Or as travestyj says, they've come from xbox and are used to complementing changes that don't benefit the consumer.
"For a game like FIFA, that’s nothing to laugh at as some of these games can take hundreds of hours to master and unlock everything."
That's exactly the laughing matter. People putting hundreds of hours into the game (and spending real money on packs) then having to start from scratch all over again the next year. They deserve to be laughed at for supporting such a shitty pay-to-win micro-transaction business model.
