  • Haiku OS rises / Beta 6 sails open web / Virtual winds fly fast

  • When it came out, Macs were a mess. They were even beginning to let other people make their hardware. BeOS ran on PowerPC archtecture, so it was like a mac option. Windows was just kicking off win 95 which was a gui shell on top of DOS.

    BeOS was the multimedia machine. Everything ran smoothly, and played smoothly, built for speed on light systems while doing multimedia work.

    It was too little too late, and Apple would would acquire Next, and windows would start the NT kernel and Win 98 lines that were on the computers at the store.

    BeOS couldnt get a foot in the door and the rest is history.

    Why Haiku and BeOS now? I guess why not?

  • I know you wanted to end, but I really wanted to say this:

    Our energy would be better spent to try and get some legal rights for license purchases that replace a sale of a physical disc.

    It seems to me the issue isn't exclusive to Sony. It is a digital problem for all media types, games included. I would imagine you might agree with that.

    Cheers.

  • You can still buy them online, so no difference really. Just not on disc, so nothing is stopping people from buying new ones.

    “you don’t own the hardware” that’s nonsense, it is the only thing in the console gaming equation that you do own

    Let me repeat: you do NOT own the hardware. I mean you own a piece of plastic. You can use it as a boat anchor anytime you want I guess. That's it.

    Sony has been forcing console upgrades since the ps3 when you buy a new disc. Sony has also revoked the ability to use discs they sold with the console, also during the ps3 era.

    Given that none of this is new, they knew this going in on the ps5. They knew third party publishing on disc was not allowed. They willingly entered this eco system, so I really don't understand the surprise at all.

    By the way: Sony isn't ending physical disc manufacture on new games until 2028. Older games, released prior to 2028 are allowed reprints even after that. This should give people time to decide if they want to continue down this road now.

    It is the level of anger that throws me off. So fucking what? Sony is a shit company with a constant anti consumer history. Quit bitching about it and quit supporting it.

    Your arguments are not unsound, but yelling at sony isn't how they are going to fix it. Stop buying their products will. Most people aren't going to care, they are used to downloading games and updates already. People who love merch buy the fan box sets. Sony knows people will still buy their products.

  • It affects the existing products by rendering them worthless if the customer were only buying physical games.

    They already have the games they bought, so they aren't worthless. They just don't get to buy new ones on disc. Sony already has been selling digital for years.

    Simply buy no more games. Everything you already have works the same as it did before.

    I never understood this "sell a console later" concept, so I guess that is on me. But that also is not Sony's problem. They are under no obligation to keep a console worth anything, and frankly their business model would suggest its in their best interest to make you buy the next model anyways.

    I think everything you are describing is why they never should have bought a console in the first place: you don't own the hardware. Sony already forces updates for new games and has the ability to kill the old games, whether you have the plastic disc or not. People never seemed to learn that this is normal for Sony. Don't buy their products.

  • How does it affect existing products?

    Also, nothing new with Sony by the way.

    I liked it too, but I liked it even better after the simple mod to make it first person. Which I don't think a PS5 could go.

  • sony is fucking over its customers

    not really no. Sorry. At least no different than they ever had.

    Push back? Why? Grow up and just don't buy their stuff. How hard is this?

  • You just don't buy the product?

    It is so weird, these people are arguing over the ability to keep a piece of plastic so they can then throw more money at Sony. For entertainment.

    So reluctantly using HDMI is more appropriate.
