The only thing I can think of is that they were refocusing their games division around the PS4 to reclaim their space in the home console area after the disaster that the PS3 was initially taking advantage of the initial failure of the Xbox One.
PS Vita and their owners were just a collateral Sony was absolutely willing to sacrifice.
Just feel like I should at least add two more things here:
Storing information do their customers as plaintext data, then getting hacked and losing all that information (infamous PSN hack);
Releasing a portable console that cost between 250 and 300€, promising support for it then 2 years in, give up on it, never officially tell customers, but have one of your higher execs tell the press said console is a great “accessory” for the PS4.
This is why I don’t personally buy Sony hardware.
It’s been down a lot for me lately. I basically only use it as a nextcloud pointer for large file uploads since cloudflare free has a 100MB limit and the Nextcloud desktop app lacks chunk-uploads. Which are ironically only present in the iOS client.
I believe I read Microsoft was working on something similar but it was definitely for mobile games. So I think that’s the idea. Not 100% sure tho
Is this year’s Tensor an actual in-house chip or just another rebranded shitty Exynos?
Hats off to Samsung tho, kneecapping the competition 😂
As a Portuguese, I’m quite proud of this tho I think we can still do better (or at least find a way to not get price gauged).
I was in a week-long vacation in the island of Madeira recently and was shocked by how many solar and wind farms they had, no to mention the energy generated by the sea around it. It was astonishing and at least restored my faith in my countrymen, just a bit.
I find this fascinating, in a non-ironic way. Thank you very much OP!
Unfortunately not ALL apps. Certain apps have checks in place to detect if they were installed from the Play Store or not, and if they don’t, they won’t start and ask you to reinstall. I have to be careful ful which apps I update through Aurora.
It’s absolute horseshit and goes against the entire open ecosystem thing but what can we do.
That being said with how ad ridden the Play Store is, I’m glad I never have to open it unless it’s to open one of those stupid apps.
Doing the work, brother. Thank you.
