Apparently there will be some boycott of PS in regards of decision to discontinue disks.

From 23 to 30 of August.

    There’s some stuff I’d love to experience on the PS5.

    But I will not be spending nearly a thousand dollars for a set top box with limited functionality they can effectively disable when I’m no longer making them enough money.

    And with SteamOS getting better and better, the convenience of a console over a PC is becoming less of a thing.

    Honestly, once SteamOS has dedicated apps for things like Hulu and Netflix, I think we can really change things. Right now my parents have an Xbox where my Dad can play an occasional game, but the interface is simple enough for my Mom to open her streaming apps. Once SteamOS gets that simple, I’ll be switching them over.

        Astrobot, Horizon, God of War, Ratchet and Clank, etc.

        Some of the stuff I like from Sony (Last of US, Spider-man, Returnal) gets ported to PC eventually, but Sony has announced they’re cutting back on that.

      I don’t think steam will ever have those things. But streaming devices are dirt cheap. The issue is codecs.

      On the other hand I do have Plex and jellyfin on my steam deck to watch my shows when I am flying.
