I thought the big thing with these ninth gen consoles was that they were powerful enough upon release that's there's no need for a mid gen refresh this time.

sigh literally just got my PS5 like 8 months ago.

Why do gamerstm get excited about being exploited like this instead of getting mad about being ripped off?

Lol some slightly better frame rates and visuals at best.

    Exclusives?

    Which are an anti-consumer practice. And there aren't really many exclusives nowadays, with notable ones being even rarer.

    People who buy a 500 dollar gadget and 70 dollar games aren't really strapped for cash, for sure

    I guess. But that just makes it a pointless gadget that people can do just fine without.

      I mean, you can argue it is a pointless gadget regardless

      E: also who cares about an anti consumer practice. It's a treat, too bad so sad

            So, you are against making art more accessible and making art less of a luxury? I fail to see any good reason for that.

              Less accessible to people with high end hardware, which is again, a luxury? I couldn't particularly care.

              And I won't engage further since you like making big statements.

                Are all the exclusives only capable of running on high-end hardware? Note, this includes exclusives from decades ago, as well.

                Yeah, nah, I'm not about to support excluding people from accessing art on the ground that they can't afford expensive otherwise-pointless gadgets.
