Sony will allow publishers to charge for patches on ps4pro

"Q: Will I need to pay to update my existing PS4 game with new PS4 Pro features?

A: While nothing specifically prevents publishers and developers from this, we don’t anticipate it at this time. Software updates enabling PS4 Pro features on any existing first-party title (such as inFamous First Light or Uncharted 4) will be free. "

Who cares. It's ok when Sony does it.

Don't they already do this, just a bit sneakily? Like making a patch but tacking on some 'costumes' that are nothing more than recolors and calling it 'DLC'?

No?

If you buy a PS4 Pro you deserve to get ripped off.

>3DS CAN have free themes, as shown by the whopping 2 it has with Sonic Boom and SMT4A
>Most opt for the paid themes
Not shifting blame or spotlight, but it definitely affirms OP's claim.

But remember! Nintendo is the most cancerous company!

If you cant afford the patch you should kys

new console
4ktv
game
online sub
paid patch

>expanding into shitty mobile games
>instead of putting out games worth picking a Wii U up for they just give up on the system altogether and shift all their resources into a new, more gimmicky system

>not owning all of these prior
Poor people leave

>people replying itt like it's sonys fault here

It's the publishers choice if they wish to charge for such shit and you can vote with your wallet on such games.

Publishers would have pressed for this change, Sony benefits nothing from it other than keeping publishers happy

>It's the publishers choice
sony mandate what is on their platform

sony makes a cut for what they allow

>owning a 4k tv
kek

OP what exactly is your point.

Sony gets apart of the profits, m8.

The fact that this is even in question is pathetic. If there isn't some sort of catch, Sony wouldn't be trying to avoid it so much.

Will devs actually do this? Or will they just ignore PS4 Pro for their already released games?

>buy games from developers that release updates for free
>laugh at developers charging for updates and don't buy their games

No issues here. Besides if shit went down it's not like it couldn't be reversed like all that bullshit with the bone before release and the paid mods thing.

>No issues here.

>being so poor you can't pay for a patch
Dumb PeeCucks enjoy you're Bloodborn
Oh wait lol

The sad part is that there will be people who will legitimately believe this.

What's neogaf's stance on this? I want to laugh a little

they locked a thread discussing it

Who will be the first publisher brave enough to do this?

Yeeep. Also devs can chatge for patches now if they wanted

>>While nothing specifically prevents publishers and developers from this,

Aside from the fact that if you do it you're guaranteed the golden poo award?

No and yes. Well done user. You used common sense. Somthing that the majority here replace for memes and shitposting

This is retarded, but I doubt many games are actually going to charge for patches since that would deter new players.

>Ignoring VR, movie, and "indie" games
>To which everyone passes the blame on Hello Games to them instead of Sony taking advantage of a small developer that has no clue what it's doing
>Ignoring PS4 doesn't have a solid library in three whole years and even FFXV is looking like garbage

>But Nintendo

You say that like it matters.

>Paid online
>Paid patches
>PS Now
>PS PRO does literally nothing
>2 games the rest is nothing but remasters
>Not a single word on Backwards compatability
WTF is Sony doing?

>Making console gaming EVEN MORE expensive than its PC counterpart.
Holy shit Sony can't wait for console gaming to die.

Rip off, waiting for PS5. They want you to pay for patches now for their rushed cheeseburger unnecessary machine.

From what I can tell, its only asking if you need to pay to update your already existing ps4 game to be compatible with the ps4pro. Its basically just rebuying the game because your new console doesnt support old games

It doesnt specifically say all future patches will be paid dlc.

>buying the same console again
Thats the real problem here

Sonycucks cucked again!

>$400
>no 4k bluray drive
is this some kind of joke? do they want xbox to win or what?

capitalizing on their phenomenal success this generation

it's too late now, they took your money and now they don't give a shit about you.

too bad for everyone who fell for the "for the players" bullshit, they got played like fools.

>only owning a ps4 and paying more than necessary.
Nigga its not about rich or poor. A waste of money is a waste of money.
