@KevinRelms @GTA6Junky @IRGIORGIO @NextGenPlayer You dodged the question about arbitrarily accepting someone to be considered supporting the industry. Also what about free to play games?Event organizers/promoters that don't play? The elitist gatekeep what's considered supportive for a market that needs to expand to thrive

@BluesW15 @GTA6Junky @IRGIORGIO @NextGenPlayer If they can’t afford it, then yes, they should be excluded. Gaming isn’t a right or a charity. It’s a hobby. People are priced out of hobbies all the time. The industry needs support to keep going.

Former PlayStation Store SVP says Sony does not set PS Store pricing, individual publishers do, and therefore Sony does not have a monopoly If you’re mad about digital prices, complain to publishers, not Sony. Sony has no say in 3rd-party store prices ▶️ insider-gaming.com/exclusive-inte…

@palazzo11131 @sammylee_0 If they can't defend the world, they sure as hell will *return* to avenge it.

@sammylee_0 The Returners. They experienced the end of the world and still came back to serve that hateful court jester/mage Kefka.

Which Final Fantasy party would you join if you had the chance?

@IRGIORGIO @GTA6Junky @NextGenPlayer We all want that. But that's the inherent limitation with licenses.: they always have an expiry date. The only time that comes to mind that a license was given with no expiry was when Coke allowed Pepsi to use Coke products in Pepsi ads. Coke regretted it ever since.

@BluesW15 @GTA6Junky @NextGenPlayer That was not sony but Studio canal. We need assurance that this won't happen.

@GTA6Junky @IRGIORGIO @NextGenPlayer The way the economy is right now, and with consoles and game prices only going higher, among other costs of living, its not as easy for the average person to afford new games.

@BluesW15 @IRGIORGIO @NextGenPlayer If you’re in North America and can only afford used games, you have no excuses. Get on your grind. Gaming is so cheap over here.

@mgirenj @sammylee_0 Lol you're in a better spot than I am. I've only played up to 7 and hear bits and pieces a out the rest. I know it depends on the setting but it's interesting to know how rare subs are used in the ff series

@BluesW15 @sammylee_0 Those are the only ones I recall, and I didn’t play 15 or 16, or anything in 14 past Heavensward. Or 13… yeah I pretty much stopped at 10, skipped 11 and played 12. That’s the extent of my knowledge/experience.

If you had to introduce someone to Final Fantasy with one game which would it be and why?

@KevinRelms @GTA6Junky @IRGIORGIO @NextGenPlayer What if they buy 90% used games and 10% new? 80/20? 70/30? When does it arbitrarily become acceptable for you that they support the industry? Should someone who's lived off hand me downs and used games be excluded from events for people who "support" the gaming industry?

@BluesW15 @GTA6Junky @IRGIORGIO @NextGenPlayer If all you’re buying is used and second hand games, you’re not even trying to support the industry that you claim to love. Glad to see them go. It’s a luxury hobby. Not a necessity at all. If you can’t afford it, find another hobby.

@mgirenj @sammylee_0 Omg that's right! It's been a while... Are there any other ones? I'm losing track...

@BluesW15 @sammylee_0 7 has one too

@mgirenj @sammylee_0 Is 5 the only one with a submarine?

@sammylee_0 I’d go with 5. It has everything. Humble beginnings, tragic loss, an airship, a boat, a submarine, different worlds, a lighthearted story with serious parts, a comical villain, a serious villain…

@IRGIORGIO @GTA6Junky @NextGenPlayer We can all agree the losing license needs to go. But Sony taking away movies just showed they're not willing to do that. Stores can be stocked, but only if the games fly off the shelves quickly. And with their response to the backlash, it's hard to see the Gabe mindset

@BluesW15 @GTA6Junky @NextGenPlayer For example no more losing licensees bullshit. Keep retailers stocked with games that they can put on sales etcetera

@IRGIORGIO @GTA6Junky @NextGenPlayer Let's run that scenario. Outside of the first 3 ps generations, and absorbed innovations from Microsoft and Nintendo, what has Sony done to improve the experience?

@BluesW15 @GTA6Junky @NextGenPlayer Cause if we go the way of digital only they need to improve the ecosystem for sure. So rather than everyone just whining we need to advocate for a better experience online

@Dominos_UK It's called a breakfast pizza, mate. Sausage egg and cheese pizza. Bacon egg and cheese pizza. Spinach egg and cheese pizza. Sausage, bacon, spinach, egg and cheese pizza *Insert any omelette here* and cheese pizza Secret: Smoked salmon & Eggs Benedict pizza You're welcome.

egg on pizza

@IRGIORGIO @GTA6Junky @NextGenPlayer Do you really believe Sony has the same mentality of running PS as Gabe running steam? I'm open to hearing why you would think that.

@BluesW15 @GTA6Junky @NextGenPlayer So steam has negativity impacted me? Who is to say sony won't follow and make it great like steam

@GTA6Junky @IRGIORGIO @NextGenPlayer Poorer countries are one... But there are impacts are closer to home, like people who can only afford used games. Games are supposed to be accessible. This move makes games less accessible.

@BluesW15 @IRGIORGIO @NextGenPlayer It will affect people in poor countries and i do feel for them.

@SwissGstone @NextGenPlayer I agree with you on on GameStop. But this means the better deals on market place or personal listings won't be available anymore either. Private resellers who sell with prices lower than GameStop.

@BluesW15 @NextGenPlayer That’ll still exist just now for games coming in 2028. It sucks but so does GameStop.

@SwissGstone @NextGenPlayer They're removing the competition from used game market that drive prices down. Removing competition is an intent to monopolize and control market pricing. Retail doesn't have the power to do it - only Sony does.

@BluesW15 @NextGenPlayer In other words if you don’t like the price and it’s cheaper on Xbox then you can always buy the game there instead. This is literally what it means to not have a monopoly.

@SwissGstone @NextGenPlayer You clearly missed the the used game market. Sony store and retail have to compete with lower priced used games. It's an an option for Sony players on how to purchase games. Or rather... was an option

@BluesW15 @NextGenPlayer And yet somehow you still got it wrong. Sony competition on ps is … ps. This only affects their consoles and games. Now if they were to make all those 3rd party games exclusive then it’s a monopoly. Think about it, if you can get it on pc, Xbox or Nintendo then you have options

@GTA6Junky @IRGIORGIO @NextGenPlayer You can't see the long term effects of how it will negatively impact you as a digital only user. And you're telling people who see it that they don't understand business. Lol

@BluesW15 @IRGIORGIO @NextGenPlayer Bruh just say you dont understand shit about business and move on with your day, you are so emotional about physical games that you make yourself look stupid

@IRGIORGIO @GTA6Junky @NextGenPlayer If you want to maintain the point on monopoly... Explain how Sony is exercising its power to keep the used gaming market competition alive that pressures games to stay low.

@BluesW15 @GTA6Junky @NextGenPlayer You arrogantly said look up monopoly. Now you want to move the goal post

@gatz_00 @NextGenPlayer Also, had you read carefully, I said primarily a gaming console. If it's not primarily a gaming console, as it was designed to compete with Xbox and Nintendo machines in terms of performance and sales, what would you call it?

@BluesW15 @NextGenPlayer Ps5 is not only a game console, try again

@gatz_00 @NextGenPlayer iPhone. MARKETED as a phone. Don't buy apps. Don't buy membership. Still works as a phone and texting device as marketed. PS6. MARKETED as a digital-only gaming console. Don't buy games. Don't buy membership. Useless as a game console as marketed. Too hard to understand?
