It might have changed with the PS5, but as far as the PS4 goes you could only stream PS3 games through PlayStation Plus. And honestly, they never streamed well.

Yeah. Sony should have been held in detention and made to make the PS3 library work on the PS4. It is so shoddy that the best they could come up with was... uh we have a server farm of PS3's you can stream from.... No fuck you. You made the PS3 the technical abomination it was, now FIX IT.

I love the PS3's library, it really is one of my most favorite generations, which is why I'd like to see better PS3 support.  

Man. RIP, Steve Albini.

So given how much video game content makes up a disproportionate amount of the internet do you think our hobby "suffers" from the ridiculous amount of attention is paid to every single fine detail of what goes on in the industry?

I reflected on this when I was thinking, "Jesus, MS is really fucking it all up again, and they have for a long time" when I caught myself and went, "Hey Phil, why the fuck do you care about what Phil Spenc.... Hang on, why the FUCK do you even know the name of the man who runs the division of MS that handles Xbox?  I thought you go into this because you like games?"

It's all a bit:

I picture this happening, as I often correlate, in the model trains industry.  Imagine some model train enthusiasts knowing the name of the chief engineer in charge of minuture foliage being nailed on the internet for a choice of deciduous tree that doesn't exist in North America being sold with a AMTRAK trainset. It looks like he just took the same tree from the British Rail set and used it again for the north american release! And they used the same puddles from the Swedish Rail Kit!!! This guy is making too many mistakes lately.

I was thinking along the same lines this week too. Would I be better off not following the industry as closely as I do? Probably. I started learning who these executives were and the artists with my first gaming magazine subscription to EGM in 1992. I remember reading interviews with Miyamoto, Yu Suzuki, Yuki Naka, Howard Lincoln and Sega's Tom kolinski. I can't blame the internet for my expanded hobbyist knowledge because I had that before I even had the internet. That knowledge is simply a byproduct of the passion we have for games; most of us just want to know everything about them we can. The good and the bad, often to our own detriment.

This leak feels very credible. Could that mean a fall release?
