But why? Lol. You have a new system running the games at 4k60/1440p60 or whatever while the old one is running at 720p30. Why is it annoying that people with the previous system can still play the games?

I don't understand why Sony preventing people on PS4 from playing God of War Ragnarok, Miles Morales, Sackboy, Horizon Forbidden West for no good reason would be a good thing.

I don't see how abandoning the people who bought your previous platform ASAP is a positive. Cross-gen means you can stick with the platform you already have if you're not interested in the performance and features of the new console instead of being forced to. "Buy our new machine right now, or here's the middle finger." If the games can run, keep bringing them.

Why would you assume it's based around wanting last gen console owners getting the shaft?  Believe it or not, some people would just like to see games on their new $500 console that can't be done on the old hardware.  If games can scale, then great, but wanting to see true next-gen games on your true next-gen console shouldn't be met with opposition.

People are going to have to accept that "games that can't be done" on the previous system (with worse graphics), is a silly expectation in this era. How many Nintendo games for the next console do you really think wouldn't be achievable on the Switch, just with worse graphics? Most of Nintendo's games on Switch mechanically could be done on hardware from 15 years ago, just with more basic visuals.

There is no "true next-gen games." Console gamers are going to have to get with the times. It's not 2006 anymore. PC gamers don't have these crazy expectations when they upgrade.
