Unless they really went out of their way to reduce the amount of buttons. I really don’t get why old games wouldn’t work (aside from just wanting to make people buy the new sets of course). It won’t impact me due to being basically all-in with PC gaming and still super sensitive to the motion sickness from VR. But given how much extra it costs to get the stuff for VR, it is messed up to create more e-waste since the stuff only works with a Playstation. Sony is an example of what happens when getting to the top. They do a lot of cool stuff when they aren’t the top brand with regards to consoles. But when they are number one the greed and fuck-shit just goes wild. Which is a shame. It isn’t like Microsoft and Nintendo are without their own fuckery. Sony is just the worst (IMO) at throwing out good will (or at least the effort put into looking like there is any) and goes all-in with ego tripping. Hopefully the hacking community will be able to help repurpose some of the hardware. Seeing how these old games will just go away otherwise. I miss actual backwards compatibility, especially when there isn’t an actual hardware/software reason for it to be missing. I will be eternally pissed about how they removed both PS2 hardware and software emulation from the PS3. They claimed it was a cost issue, but it doesn’t make since to remove something that they already spent money on and had in production. Sorry for the rant.
