    No, lots of PlayStation games have allowed for a free update to the ps5 version.

    Sony’s licensing has been odd, though but I have no doubt that its easily doable and moneynisnthe issue.

    I am a long term PS+ subscriber. This constant deprecation and nickel and diming is going to make my next purchase a steam deck. I only subscribe for online play, the games are a bonus. They are usually not my tyoe. Or often are just bad.

    As console gaming and PC gaming converge, crappy console walled garden stuff just moves players awaybfrom consoles. They marker ps4 or ps5 games as separate products, but in reality, they are the same product with different graphics libraries (among other differences). With a PC, with fragmentation, I get to choose those assets as my hardware changes. On a console, they lock in with less choice and then try and charge again when I upgrade my hardware? Why would I choose the poorer, more expensive product?

      A handheld gaming PC would work for me. I’m going for the highest frame rate with the most detail. Plus, it’s portable!
