The end of Playstation 3 support.

[NaesakiAshwell]

It was just here. Deep in the forest, surounded by lv 80 Morbols. No explaination either (just the text "Gelmorra Ruin" on the map). It was an personal achievement to reach that place alive.

There was probably a plan for it once, had 1.0 continued as it was but now we'll never know. Though in a way Palace of the Dead, being in the ruins of Gelmorra, I guess is the successor to it, since the Calamity revealed long forgotten passage ways in and sealed many others.

What she's saying is that people who couldn't afford getting an upgrade should not be prioritizing games when there are other much productive things to do, don't add any more misunderstandings to already volatile issue.

This.

When I initially said that statement, I meant voting. But getting personally involved with local politics in other peaceful means is also an option. As I've said, I've not suggested anything I haven't personally done myself. I know my mayor for example on a first name basis as well as a congressional primary candidate who is likely to be the successor to the incumbent when they eventually retire.

I wouldn't be above making a fuss at a townhall meeting if they did something stupid to the local infrastructure of the internet. Up to and even running against them if needed.

Overthrowing governments is romantic at best and stupid to suggest. At no point would I support violence for the sake of buying a PS4 at a decent price. If you want to do something dumb but effective, marry your buddy and get them over to the US to buy one lol. Its legal and doesn't hurt anyone

Well, now and Sony drops PS3 too.

Thank you for clearing that up.

I'm sorry for being condescending earlier. I am upset that some really cool people I knew aren't going to be able to play the game anymore because of how much the hardware costs in their countries. I still remember how sad one of them got when someone else in our FC was celebrating "no more PS3 heathens". If I had the money I'd help them out right away, but my current medical needs would not allow for that.

The situation is what it is, there's always other ways to stay in touch on the internet.

I would imagine PS4 support won't be dropped for quite some time, as they were be cutting out like half their sub base. Cause I'm sure there plenty of console players.

Won't be dropped till PS5 has been out for a couple of years. Maybe 2021 when 6.0 is releasing.

They're never going to totally abandon the console userbase. They'll just keep moving the game to the newest one to keep up with PC.

If there is a ps5. Sony and Microsoft are talking about taking consoles into the pc realm of allowing upgrades of individual components rather than whole new consoles. PS4 may literally be the last playstation as console players now them.

Yea not surprising, as PS3 has been out for 10 years.

I doubt it. There's no reason for consoles to exist then. The point of a console is a convenient system to play games. You don't have to worry about your console not being able to handle certain games or having to upgrade parts of it.

You can play it through windows 10's xbox one remote play feature. It was released prior to their platform merge initiative though so I doubt it is directly playable on pc. MS is trying to push their unified platform since their PC sales are hurting which again comes down to money issues lol.

PC sales are hurting due to people using tablets and such and no longer need to invest in a PC/laptop as much as they did before as well as the currency of some areas in the world taking a plunge as of late, making PCs more expensive than before.

This last generation of consoles have not had good sales either. It is true that PS4 had its strongest sales at the end of last quarter but they are still down overall from previous consoles. Sales are just slumping overall. Except for the Switch, Zelda saved that thing.

You can doubt it but the executives that handle consoles for Sony and Microsoft both have come out and said the "next gen" model no longer works and they are looking to upgradable machines rather than brand new ones every few years.
