You act like they're giving up on new games and making only re-releases.

But then, since all you seem to do is complain about stuff i'm hardly surprised.


Yes, I complain when I think companies are taking advantage of their customers. Im a bit weird that way...


How is this "taking advantage"? Please enlighten me.

Yeah, except Disney hasn't remastered any films less than 10yrs old.

Why is this?

1. Because Sony was too cheap to make PS4 backwards compatible.

2. Because they want to make $$$$ off of making people buy games again.

3. Because it's cheaper to "remaster" an already made game, than to make a whole new game.

4. Sony is in a bit of money trouble, all around, so for them, whether it seems tacky to gamers or not, makes financial sense.

Well theyre taking advantage of the people who own the game and the DLC on the PS3. Instead of giving people who own the PS3 game a discount, they sell it for 50$ no matter how much you have spent on it.

People who have downloaded the game on the PS3 cant even transfer it to the PS4.

They are not giving people who already own the game any advantages.

Why would they need to give a discount?

Why should that be necessary?

If I buy a Blu-Ray of a movie, do I get a discount if I buy the collector's edition a month later?

3 and 4 i think. They probably can't make AAA games like they used to beacause of the financial disaster they got themselves into.

Instead of buying gaikai, they should have invested in new ips or big games sequels.
