  • The PS5 was released more than 4 years ago.

    The PS4 Slim was released 3 years after the original model and sold for $100/100,-€ less than the original.

    The PS3 Slim released ~3 years after the original model and was significantly cheaper (to be fair, it also had a lot of features removed).

    The PS5 saw a Slim model release with no price cut at all, and now they’re planning to actually increase the price of over 4 year old tech that is almost certainly a lot cheaper to produce than 4 years ago, especially the Slim model that saw a reduction in cooler size, lower-powered PSU and other cost-reduction measures.

    Gaming is becoming less and less accessible and more and more of a luxury.






  • Pre-Chromium Edge wasn’t even that bad. Sure, the engine had its issues and there was probably a bit of Edge-specific JS on some websites, but I’m sure they would’ve eventually got there.

    But seeing that even Microsoft abandoned making their own browser engine, it goes to show how complex it is to make one nowadays and with new web APIs/features coming out every few weeks it feels like, it’s almost impossible to keep up.
