Not paying for a “premium” service leaves you a second class customer. What a surprise…

Why does Sony always feel like you could replace anything they say with “You should consider yourself lucky we allow you to play our games.”

It was a minor annoyance at worst. But it was annoying in that it revealed the clear enshitification occurring. You should put a disc in and the game should work. That’s video game history.

Can I confirm whether this outage was affecting downloaded singleplayer games? I didn’t think that would be the case.

For what it’s worth I was able to play Farm Together the whole time, it has a dedicated offline mode, that’s the only game I’ve played in ages but I’ve played the GoW games without internet plenty so I imagine that would have been fine too

I’ve been playing a lot of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 on PS5 the past few days, and couldn’t even tell there was an outage.

I canceled my subscription last week, just before it was time to renew.

I’m going back to PC gaming full time. If in time everything is coming to PC anyway, I rather wait and have it all on one system with a Nintendo system next to it.

PS4 was when I switched to PC for a majority of my games except exclusives. I refused to pay for PS+ to play online, since I enjoyed my free online on the PS3 the past Gen.

Picked up a long hdmi cable back then so I could enjoy the couch gaming experience when I felt like it. So that stopped being a selling point for consoles for my use case.

When you’re ready, I started using Bazzite for an htpc, and it’s phenomenal. A PC console, like I’ve always wanted

I want to swap my alienware aurora to linux but I’m struggling to find a distro that I know will be compatible with my hardware. Is there a list for bazzite driver support? I’m sure all my hardware will work in most linux distros geared toward gaming but it’d be nice to have some assurance beforehand.

Just a suggestion: try installing on a spare drive first, and disconnect the original ones

Easiest way would be to either dual boot with a test partition, or if you have a spare SSD, just replace the current SSD with the spare and install Linux on that.

Only thing that is iffy usually is Nvidia. A big caveat is that Bazzite doesn’t support Nvidia for now. Agree with the other commenter, put it on another partition and try it out
