    There is genuinely no point in games consoles anymore. There’s been absolutely bugger all released for the PS5, so why would I buy from Sony again, and now they’re going discless as well.

    Seriously, what an absolutely crap generation, all the big releases have been micro transaction loot box BS, or straight up just garbage (often both, see CoD), or genuinely decent games that have also released on the PC. Nothing has been released for the PSVR, and they done barely anything with the adaptive triggers on the controller. If you just go by the amount of innovation this generation has experienced it feels like about 6 months have passed since the console released.

      Their butchering of the market for this gen has me fully committed to building a wildly expensive AMD Bazzite PC.

      No going back, they just suck.

        PC costs up front, but you save in the long run on games if you’re patient and wait for sales. I VERY rarely buy games for more than half price, often 75% off or more. Plus, you get mods.

          Exactly. Ans I can find versions stripped of the shit like always online (Hitman) and terrible remake (GTA Collection). I don’t even play online so I can’t wait to be able to enjoy the games fully, no downsides for me other than cost. And I can sell the playstation to cover some of that.
