Why do people even feel the need to defend consoles? The fact consoles are also artificially restricted doesn't mean it's okay for the Iphone to be, it means they need to be fixed as well.
- Voliokis 6y agoWhile I do want the iOS situation fixed, I don't want the Switch or Playstation platforms to be affected in any way. Sony and Nintendo are the only publishers still making decent AAA games with the patience to sink a crazy amount of money and time into their projects. We'd all be worse off without games like Last of Us or Mario. Changing the status quo could turn them into another Ubisoft (devoid of all risk or creativity, and with a massive emphasis on microstransactions and games as a service). And frankly, anybody bringing up consoles in this context is arguing in bad faith. The similarities are purely surface level.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y ago> The similarities are purely surface level. They really aren't. If you'd care to offer some reasoning behind your assertion that they are, I'm listening.
- slaymaker1907 6y agoMy take on it is that while both are bad, the iOS situation is far worse. Almost no one would replace a desktop or laptop with an xbox while many people have done just that with an iPhone.
- anoncake 6y agoI do agree that the iOS situation is far more important.
