Man it is never enough with these greedy fucking assholes. I don't even own one and I'm mad about this... It's with everything lately... Soon we'll have ads in our fucking dreams like Futurama....

"But not in our dreams!"

What an absolutely terrible fucking idea.

Can't wait for major story spoilers to show up full-screen on the background of the homescreen because clickbaiters on YouTube are fucking assholes.

Also really don't need product placement on the home, I am on my PS5 to play games, not to fucking buy stuff. It's a console, not a goddamn webshop.

This really needs an option to get disabled.

Edit: Reading again it just seems to get worse. Looking at the alternative game ads, offers and promotions when selecting a game seems borderline against consumer laws, at least in EU. Especially kids could be easily targeted and triggered by this. Also most of these examples make it look like you're starting up an entirely different game, it's just such a awful update all together. No self-respecting interface designer would come up with this, it's 100% corporate predatory marketing cunts that came up with this kind of stuff.

Artist: designs really cool visual for gamers to see before launching

Sony: "Oooo, free ad real-estate!"

Sweet, just in time for the pro. Fingers crossed the next revision doesn't play games at all, just $1000 to pipe Morbius trailers to my TV. It's all I ever wanted.

Sony looking at the rotting corpse of Xbox and taking notes. But only the wrong ones.

$80/yr subscription to play online

30% cut from all sales

Ads on homescreen

Lackluster game library, busy remastering perfectly good games

Single purpose device

PS5 will be my last ever console. I don't see the value proposition in consoles anymore with the rise of PC handhelds.

Now I see why they never allowed custom backgrounds like the PS4. They wanted to do this from the beginning.

Crazy stuff... Ads everywhere. Makes my choice to not buy any console this generation seem a lot better. It saved me money and I don't get ads forced on me. I call that a win win.

$700 gets you a pretty nice PC these days.....

Ads have ruined the internet. Truly.

Build a PC

Install Linux

Fuck corporate bullshit.

"Game will start after ad: 1 of 5" 😂🤣😭

PCMasterRace. Each year, your consoles get shittier.

I'm so glad I quit consoles. Now I'm just rooting for steam to get every game running perfectly in linux so we don't have to deal with Windows either.

The arrogance of tech giants has never been higher.

There is no reason to get a PS5. There are hardly any exclusives worth playing. The games it does have are either on Xbox, which is generally cheaper to invest in, (especially if it's on gamepass) with the series s. Most games are locked at 30 fps anyway. And now you HAVE to see ads?

Just get a PC or if you really want to stay with consoles, the series s or x on sale are the only options that make some bit of sense. But still, a PC is worth saving for.

I didn't know this was something I agreed to when I bought my console.

Now to figure out if I can block this.

Well, finally. There are still so many unused seconds in a day where the consumer cattle is not forcibly blasted with advertisements, it brings tears to the eyes...

Guess I'm staying with my PS4 then. Fuck upgrading if all I'm gonna get for it is ads and like, 2 more games..

Torment Nexus has been supplanted by the MORONIC Nexus

By the sounds of it, Sony isn't even getting paid for these ads. They're replacing the art with shit like a video explaining what the universe is. It's just an algorithm they put in to keep it "fresh" and it's amazingly shitty.
