Allow me to make it comprehensible to you.
In Bolivia when I was teen, I loved to go to the markets and buy pirated PS2 games. Each one would be about 10 bolivianos. (Around $1.50 ish?)
Without these pirated games myself and all of my friends and people I knew would not have been able to play games period. Imagine buying a $60 + import tax for ONE GAME on a Bolivian salary? Ludicrous.
I'm very happy the PS5 will finally open and allow gamers in third world countries to play. The PS3 and PS4 to my knowledge never had that freedom the PS2 did back in the day.
- ErneX 4y agoIt probably won’t or be locked to an specific version where only a subset of games will work, provided you never go online etc.
- bhaak 4y agoHow did you get a PS2 to play then? Also note that there are thousands of games that are free to play on PCs. There are even lots of old commercial games that can be downloaded for free now, legally. Just because you can't afford a particular game doesn't mean that there aren't other options. As a teen I couldn't afford every game I wanted either.
- sergiotapia 4y agoI got a PS2 as the big birthday present. Back then the free PC games were KNIGHT online, gunbound, Gunz online, Tibia.... slim pickings. Today kids have Fortnite and such, I agree.
