musing about the PS5 

We didn't buy a PS5 at launch.

There are a few reasons for this:

* Scalpers
* Not a lot of games
* Didn't have the money
* Was expecting a price cut by the time we were interested
* Didn't use our PS4 anymore

---

Now we've decided not to buy one at all.

There are a few reasons for this:

* Price hike in non-US regions
* Hypocritical comments about CoD potentially going Xbox-exclusive
* Exclusives could end up ported to PC
* Steam Deck is awesome
* Still don't use our PS4

I fully realize that we can't speak for everyone. If the above doesn't bother you, then by all means, enjoy the thing.

But when a company starts being blatantly anti-consumer*, we refuse to support them.

RIP Sony

* Most companies are anti-consumer, but being /this/ blatant about it is one hell of a red flag for us

@foxposting we still want to play bloodborne and one or two other ps4-exclusives but we might end up just getting a used ps4 at this rate
