I'd say YoFrodo's answer of apatheism is possibly the closest you're going to get, but speaking in general terms of not believing or caring one way or the other, you'd be agnostic, not an atheist. Atheism is the belief that there are no gods and out right rejection in the belief of any gods. Those saying you're atheist don't know what one is.

It's really the honourable thing to do.

I will admit it's not only the price that is a deterrent, even if that's now competing with a perfectly capable gaming PC that can do significantly more, doesn’t have an additional charge to play online, doesn’t have to deal with increasingly standardised subpar controller longevity, commonly have cheaper games, better sales, and will have a longer shelf life. I already thought the PS5 was a bit pricy at launch, at a time when I was still considering buying one. That time has been and gone, I've spent the money on upgrading my already decent computer into an absolute beast because I figured "why not?" and I still have yet to see a reason to buy the PS5. It's no secret that consoles are commonly loss leaders for the manufacturers while the exclusives are the money-makers. It's a way of doing business, that's fine, but to this day, I can only claim to have seen them release maybe 4 exclusives that I'd deem worth playing. That's already a bad deal. No-one in their right mind can justify paying full price for a console to play 4 games. On top of that, 1 already got ported to PC, one's got a release date, one's already had public response from the developer to be working on the port, and the last has really strong odds of getting ported too. 4 is my number, and I don't doubt other players would swap my own picks for something more their taste, or maybe even bolster the numbers, but I don't think anyone could make it as high as 10 without naming a game that was also released for the PS4 and/or got ported. So unless Sony gets their shit together, the PS5 tells us that the PS6 will be a bad deal.

It doesn't invalidate what they're doing in a karmic way, no. As for any legal precedent way, I'm genuinely concerned that it'll very much be a "too little, too late" scenario. Many of us who have come from the school of Jim Fucking Sterling Son, or even those with their eyes open, saw how bad this could get a decade ago. It got bad enough to go to court where companies like EA produced pathetic stand-in excuses about "lootboxes" that manipulate the young, ill and weak-willed into spending insane amounts of money are actually "surprise mechanics" and thus totally different. Some countries were smart enough to put some amount of age limit on such things, others were even smarter and outright banned them but many just let it happen. It has kept happening and the biggest gaming corpos are now more than big enough to hire all of the lawyers in the world collectively and fight any claims off through the sheer force of printing money.

Yes, I'm possibly embellishing a little in that lot but after witnessing the gaming market slip further and further down the sinkhole the way it has with excuses of "it's only cosmetic", "it's optional" and "it's not required to experience the game", I have every reason to think we're not coming back from this.

Considering the latest from R* suggests there could be a 'minor' delay of a whole year or more, I wouldn't worry about it anyway.

I really wish I wasn't surprised they'd be this petty. Yet another day in the greedy corpo world

You might want to rethink that in this weather, things can get a bit nippy

You already spoke to me on your server. It's all Mustard content but I'm going to go through which specific videos I'm looking for when I get a chance. Thanks for reaching out though.

I've typically bounced back and forth between Playstation and Xbox so I can say that if you preferred the overall feel of the DualShock 4 over the previous DS controllers you'll probably find the shaper incline of the grips on the KKP2 feel more natural to you but the upshoot is both controllers are on the larger size so size shouldn't be an issue for you either way.
