Wow, Sony found a way to make the PSN account requirement even worse - by blatantly lying about it. I used to like Sony the best among the console companies, but it has somehow managed to become the worst by far. I'm sure Microsoft would like to be worse, but it's not in a position to be, so it's not, so that dubious victory goes to Sony instead. What a despicable company (and no, I'm not saying this just because of the account requirement, it's actually a lot of things across the years - among which GaaS games aren't actually a major thing).

RIP Tony Todd. Upon hearing him in Back 4 Blood, it didn't take me long to realize it was a vortigaunt speaking.

I'd still call Nintendo the worst with all the things they're doing, like going after youtubers for playing their games (and I'm talking about the released games, not piraed and leaked ones), going after Smash or Mario Kart tournaments and, of course, all the lawsuits and the dirty tricks it's triying with Pocketpair.

But i understand you, Sony isn't doing anything towin the heart of gamers, quite the contrary.

Maybe this will cheer you up as it hurts both Sony and the f*cking scalpers:

Break out the world's tiniest violin: PS5 Pro scalpers are having a tough time reselling units because it's in stock basically everywhere

In news sure to have you crying in your cereal, it seems that Sony PlayStation 5 Pro scalpers have forgotten basic market economics, and as a result, they're struggling to shift the new console at anything close to the ridiculous reseller markups we saw around the launch of the base model.

(...)

However, a seemingly smaller demand for the PS5 Pro, alongside widespread availability among many retailers, means that resellers have been spotted dumping PS5 Pro stock for the same $699 MSRP as retail (via Techspot). Some have even been spotted selling for slightly cheaper, suggesting that this is one product that's become bad news for the reseller market.

The console is available everywhere also means that Sony has shifted more consoles than there are customers wanting to buy them. It could be like the PS VR2, that had a good launch but died shortly after.
