I thought the big thing with these ninth gen consoles was that they were powerful enough upon release that's there's no need for a mid gen refresh this time.

sigh literally just got my PS5 like 8 months ago.

Why do gamerstm get excited about being exploited like this instead of getting mad about being ripped off?

Lol some slightly better frame rates and visuals at best.

like i picked xp because the jump to vista was the one that i recalled broke the most stuff but it is a bad example because i would still use XP too, the vista thing as i see it is that they had to add stuff because of tech, and windows 7 was better when it came out because they had already baked that shit, vista ran really bad for most people because it was way more of a demanding os than xp so i feel like the slow trickle of updates until it got to the vista point would just make people more mad because it would eventually get there and it would be way harder to pinpoint the exact version you need for your computer, like if they are making big changes i rather them do it this way so i can opt out of doing the jump, but maybe you are right like fuck microsoft i hate them so much simply can't do 2 decent versions of windows in row if their life depended on it

Yhea XP to vista broke a lot of stuff. I even switched to Linux for a while but had to go back because of what you said of other people using windows programs.

But you are right it would suck if the gradual updates also broke stuff. I'm against big changes in my os in general.

Yhea windows sucks, fucking company.
