    using last-gen hardware in their consoles

    I mean there’s nothing inherently wrong with that (if only they charged last-gen prices as well lol)

    but anyways here’s a bunch more shit they’ve done:

    • killing emulation projects
    • patenting basic gameplay elements
    • sued a man so hard he was forced to pay them part of his income for the rest of his life
    • charging full price for basic rereleases

    and for a few older ones, just to show that they’ve been shitty this whole time, actually:

    • attempting to kill game cheating devices (like the game genie)
    • preventing 3rd parties from releasing games on competitor’s consoles, essentially giving themselves a monopoly
    • attempting to kill video game rentals

    (also they’re partly owned by the saudi government, so, there’s that)

      I wouldn’t go as far a stating that it’s mainly a systemic problem. Individual choices also matter to some degree.
