Cows have only themselves to blame. They have given Sony so many free passes and carried their water for them when they should have provided constructive criticism that no wonder we're where we're at.
Even with modern games that still don't use the array of optimization tools at developers disposal, PS community is content with the outcome as long as Digital Foundry declares the PS version better than the Xbox, rather than say that these devs can do better and should. This is why we can't have nice things.
Even now Sony's considering finally making PS1/PS2 classics playable locally through emulation and like dear god they're 10 years too late. They needed this back when Xbox was bringing BC to XB1 consoles but Sony wanted to milk their streaming service rather than honor PS1/PS2 digital purchase entitlements from the PS3's BC catalog, expand their offerings. And the whole time the fanbase was like "LOL... winning!... rather play new games than old ones derp". This is why we can't have nice things.
Because Sony didn't even consider the idea of BC until final months before PS5's release they didn't have the ability to handle any of the features Xbox offered like Play Anywhere and Smart Delivery features. Sony instead pushed the $70 game and paid next gen upgrades. The fans gave them a free pass, and this is why we can't have nice things.
Worth mentioning is modern gaming still offers lots of worthwhile games to play on all systems. Developers and publishers are increasingly realizing console exclusive arrangements aren't as lucrative as they once were and they're far more successful making games available across multiple devices. Yet this sours cows, now these games aren't worth playing because they might as well not be games any longer because they're not for cows and only cows. This is why we can't have nice things.
They have to hate Xbox so much and attacked Game Pass to such a degree they're allergic to even their own game subscription services. They got high on their own supply. And rather demand PS Plus be more like Game Pass to allow for day one first party releases and day one third party releases, Sony sees no need to be competitive in this arena, fans have spoken. This is why we can't have nice things.
Despite them praising to high heaven their rather well polished yet still remarkably average as games games, most the fanbase are plebes who only wanna play Roblox and COD and GTA V online and Fortnite, the big live service games, and of course the big annual sports games like Madden and NBA 2K. This is why we can't have nice things.
What would make Sony step up their game would be to buy an Xbox. Worked wonders for the 7th gen. But since the days the Sony fanboys ran the NeoGAF forums and ran it as a Sony fanboy circle-jerk safe-space, and the press treaded it as the industry water cooler and echoed every carefully curated forum thread, this is why we can't have nice things. Even now the press is sticking their fat gamer asses on the scales for Sony like good little brainwashed cultists and though they try feigning neutrality and objectivity, they still have senile fits of Sony fanboy Tourette's that flurry up whenever their Sony fanboy insecurities pop up, usually in form of attacking Xbox with some hatchetjob articles that get circulated online. Now nobofy who owns a PS console would ever consider getting an Xbox even if their PS console is a massive disappointment to them. There'll be no voting with their wallets. This is why we can't have nice things.
Dude, blame yourself, blame yourselves, this is a mess of all y'all cows making. Spent too long circle jerking in your safe space the moment you stuck your head out of the bubble for air you finally gained the disillusioned perspective you needed for years. Good for you for getting at least that far.
