Not sure how they clean up Naughty Dog and Insomniac at this point.

Build a time machine and fire Cuckmann the moment he started thinking about forcing out Amy Hennig. Without him taking over ND, the push for ugly women/tranny fetish and the rest of the woke shit isn't strong enough to gain traction company-wide like it has.

Only other positive outcome is the company fading into irrelevance like BioWare, which, also like BioWare, is really no loss at this point. Their real talent left years ago. Uncharted is done. Last of Us was turned to shit. Their next game will make TLoU2 look like Stellar Blade by comparison. Insomniac will last longer because of the Marvel licenses, but that is a far cry from what it once was too thanks to Disney.

Yeah after Inter-Galactic bombs hopefully that will be the nail in the coffin for most of Naughty Dog.

While it's unlikely to happen if both companies managed to clean up their studios of woke cultist and fill them with skilled people. Sony would have a much better chance to come back than Microsoft based on the strength of their first party Library.

It's not going to happen though.

While Asha is cleaning the business side of Xbox it doesn't look like she's addressing woke culture.

Aside from that we live in strange times. Early access, crowdfunding, more advanced tools and now AI, the talent is simply too diluted with small indie studios being able to make great games but not necessarily match the production value of triple studio in most cases.

I'm old and just rambling I guess. I miss the good old times where the only thing that mattered when making games was fun and quality and not social issues and ways to monitize stuff and that's from someone who more tolerant than most here on both issues.

In theory cleaning the business side does clean out the woke. Woke kills financials.

Not sure if I'm reading out of context or you really are asking about why OG > Pro upgrade. I was an OG PS5 owner, and I upgraded to a Pro. I got a new LG TV and wanted the best gaming experience on an OLED, but that was just a bonus. My main reason was I couldn't pass up a great deal that came around. Last winter Best Buy was taking $300 trade in credit on the OG towards a Pro, AND it was $100 off msrp, AND Paypal was stacking a 20% cash back bonus. So I traded in my 5 year old OG and upgraded to a Pro for about $200 out of pocket. Now with console prices even higher, ram getting even more expensive, and PS6 sounding like a digital only box thats going to cost well over $1k, I am even more pleased I pulled the trigger on the Pro when I did. No regrets

If they didn't have a trade in discount and the new TV? I might go ahead and get a pro with a disc when I get a new TV.
I completely understand wanting to have the newest and premium products.
I wasjust trying to justify getting a pro myself. I don't know if I'll trade in my old one though.
