Come on man there's definitely a discussion to be had. Sony said 10 games wont be compatible with the PS5, Ubisoft put up an article saying some of their games wont be backward compatible but on the Sony site these games and some others are listed as bootable not compatible. Yeah ee need to learn more but there's definitely a discussion to be had its not fearmongering. 

And then ubisoft deleted that article.

Using the games from that article you can see why. Look up "Assassin’s Creed® Chronicles: China" for example they all say "compatible".

Yet "Assassin’s Creed® Chronicles: Russia" is "bootable".

So what's the discussion to be had on that? That one will work but one won't work? That one will get a boost and one won't?

Aren't those games found under "Assassin's Creed Chronicles" Why is the trilogy bootable but not compatible?

There is no discussion without knowing what those words mean.

Rubbish. 

Half of the talk in these forums is to speculate about things that have yet to be released. We've been talking about Nintendo NX's, Xbox Scorpios and PS Prosperos for years. Not to mention sequels of games, tonnes of rumours are discussed daily.

There is obviously a difference between bootable and compatible. Who cares if we don't know exactly what it means. The words themselves allude to enough for discussion.
