| SvennoJ said: Again, you do not have to pay extra to play with a dualsense controller nor to play the game on PS5. They charge for the extra work to implement haptic feedback. You may think that's trivial, but that's a change in the engine to calculate how to translate all interactions to haptic actuators. |
Not sure what a companies wealth has anything to do with being charged a little fee to play a game using features that should be free in the first place.
If you like a company to charge you more for something they can easily implement for free than i actually feel sorry for you. You are letting a company treat you like a consumer and not a customer. They know you wont go anywhere, so charging you $10 is easy and you are happy to justify it because its a game you like. Well i hope you say the same thing when it happens to games you don't like and it becomes more common with these things.
Its a very odd comparison, comparing paying for game content to system features. I don't buy season passes and i play Halo for its campaigns. I don't think i own one game that includes a season pass except for Smash Bros Ultimate and again, i have mentioned there is nothing wrong with paying for more in game content. The issue is paying for features you already own. How about Sea Of Thieves new Xpac, the game went from 30fps to 60fps at 4k on the Series X with added Disney content and they did not charge one cent to download and play it if you already own the game or have GP.
The fact you think paying for Duelsense and 3D audio justifies a fee is worrying. I don't remember paying any extra to use Dolby Atmos in games or to have the graphics improved either. I can also play Xbox games on my PC with the X1 controller and don't have to pay for the Rumble Triggers etc. You are being scammed $10 because the audience doesn't care enough.
But hey, its your money, give them your wallet.
Go listen to Angry Joe about the extra $10 and they all have the same logically sense that its anti consumer.

AJ says it how it is, when asked about the PS5 features includes Haptic Feedback etc "I brought the f$#@en console for that s%#t!
Enough said.

so you're saying Microsoft should be applauded for refusing to innovate or make their new console stand out? I know you can't possibly be saying that, because that would be rather silly. The Ps5's controller is amazing, and implementing its unique features takes time and money, I don't see how it's a bad thing to add extra features with an extra cost. And like many others, Ghost of Tsushima already got loaded with tonnes of upgrades and new content and features free of charge as it is. They already made the PS4 version function a whole lot better on PS5 as it is, so it's not like you HAVE To upgrade. I think it's clear at this point you're just being cynical for the sake of it. I went back through the last few pages and so many of your arguments are completely out of left field or inconsistent or completely noncongruent with how business/innovation works. The fact that you genuinely tried to make it look like a BAD thing that Sony added a bunch of features and options to their new controller makes it clear you're not about actual improvements but instead just here to be contrarian or pointlessly critical. |
Talk about a twist,
I think you failed at understanding whats being said here. Nothing wrong with innovations, please tell me where i said innovations isn't a good thing? I am saying paying to access innovations that you have already brought is embarrassing. Its people like that who think its a good thing to be charged extra is why companies like EA and Ubisoft continue to nickle and dime their customers and why Sony knows they can charge an extra $10 PS5 upgrade because they know you will eat it up. That's the real issue here.
