Remember, in the end, tech like this will be sold or bought by a bigger company that will milk this tech and abandon it or do a windows and kill its coolness… probably. Profit seeks profit.

    I’m looking to get back into console gaming. PlayStation has been around for most of my life and I always played on that console. I am conflicted if I should wait for the PS5 PRO or just go get the PS5 now because what would be the net benefit of waiting versus getting a console now. What do you all think about this conundrum? Get a console now or wait for the mid refresh or whatever they are this stage in the game now?

    I am not interested in getting a PC. Let’s not get into that discussion.

     

    I already have a steam deck. But, I am thinking of getting a PS5 for the games that can’t run on the deck or would be better played on a console. Is this a silly idea? Redundant? I would have a steam deck and a pS5.

    I would need to get a tv/monitor to go with the console.

    I’m not in a position to get a PC or build one, hence, the steam deck.

     

    Can someone who has a gog version of a game play with someone who has a steam version of the game in online games? There are lots of online games and online co-op games out there that are on steam and gog and I wonder if they can join each other’s lobbies and play each other and etc? Or does one need to have a steam copy to join someone else on their gameplay?

     

    With the use of Heroic game launcher, I’m wondering if you all preferred to play your GOG version of games over the Steam version. I can go either way but sometimes I pause and think, having two copies of the same game, one on steam and one on GOG, which one would give me a better gaming experience. For example, I may choose the GOG version because I don’t have to deal with pre-shader work being downloaded every so often. I can just into my games. Yet, Steam achievements and seeing the game’s metadata is always life: seeing the game info, store page, community stuff about the game, and more all there. So what do you chose? GOG game or the Steam game.
