Sounds fair
- criddell 5y agoSame rules for game consoles as well?
- LatteLazy 5y agoI think there is a slight difference because initially the hardware is sold at a loss for consoles. Manufacturers should be able to recoup that. But broadly, yes.
- jaywalk 5y agoWhether or not the manufacturer sold it at a loss, I still own the device. Their accounting doesn't change that fact, and it can't be a consideration.
- LatteLazy 5y agoThat's a fair stance to take. I certainly think their lockdowns should be limited if not banned completely...
- criddell 5y agoI don't think any of the major consoles are sold at a loss when you look at the entire run of it. If they are sold at a loss, that could be seen as anti-competitive move that keeps competing consoles out and game prices high. Perhaps the competition chief should look into as well.
- Ekaros 5y agoWhy not. Don't see any reason why that equipment shouldn't be free as well.
- thechao 5y agoI like it! Also, obviously applies to in-game stores like in Roblox, Fortnite, etc.
- hajile 5y agoDefinitely yes. They’re just desktop hardware anyway. A new PlayStation or Xbox is all the more PC most people ever need. We could reduce e-waste by reducing the need for multiple, specialized machines. In the same way, I think I should be able to run a desktop by plugging in my phone. If a pi can do it, my iPhone definitely can.
