I was not making Mustered Race Vs console peasant juvenile comparison. i don't care for both tbh. but sony does do sales on their PS store.
vegetaleb was leaning towards the piracy aspect of PC gaming, something that hurts PC gaming. not to mention its wrong.

we have all done that. but we should not keep on doing it, regardless how much they make. you dont go and steal a ferrari because ferrari makes billions, and will still make billions. i buy my games during steam sales great bargains, and you would be supporting the devs.

virtual data? can you please clarify i did not get this at all. are you saying that anything in the form of bits is free for all?

Any software company is manned by real people who go there from 8-5, 9:30-5:30 or whatever. This is real, not virtual. They have to put their alarm at 8 in the morning,  pull themselves out of bed for a coffee and to go to work, shift code around, where they will spend a big chunk of their day, instead of going to other nice places. They get paid a salary and they need that to pay rent (for a roof they can sleep under), food, and of course other things.

This money comes (mostly) from users paying for the software.

Stealing, leaching, or call it whatever you want. You are enjoying something at someone else's expense.

Maybe in the future, this model will change, where you will pay for internet, for example, and download whatever you want, and internet providers will sponsor new software development using that money. But in the present times, this is how it is.

Re: PS4 Pro anyone?

Fellows ,
From A Technical Point of View

Let  us speak frankly current Consoles are PCs - X86 Architecture with optimiaztion and future advacement for a price/performance ratio prespective are hitting on Desktops for gaming.MS Scoprio has a GPU of 6 Tlops with an updated CPU. 1070 ~ 6.4 Tflops Scorpio may utilize DDR 5x or HBM 2.0 .. I think it can output native 4K with medium - high details  with FXAA or custom AA  similar to the 1070 do @ 30fps / 2160p.

Sure the Volta / Vega are much powerful but remember from a technical side a full solution like a Console capable of delivering a 4K experience for USD 500 max vs a 500 USD graphic card alone. I am and I will be a hardware PC enthusiast for to me it is a win win situation now if I own a Pro and/or Scorpio and a High End PC. To me the Entertainment Factor increases with good exclusives from Sony and an upleveled image fidelity  which is welcomed to with Sony multiplayer ecosystem by I'll find many of my friends at.

On Cracked vs Genuine PC Games : Well I used to buy Cracked Games but 4 months ago I am buying Genuine Ones through Origin / Steam / Other Sites for the Keys. There are many discounts and offers - It is a good experience (Multiplayer , Regular Patches , Updates Etc.. ) and I have no regrets at all of the shift I made. Very interested for Example to Try Froza Horizon 3 & Gear of Wars 4 on my upcoming KS 9500 using HDR - Saw some live Froza gameplay on an HDR Display using a mediocre X box One S - HDR is really awesome layer of reality added to the gaming world - sure on my PC Froza will look awesome by utilizing higher resolution / textures + HDR.

I usually use cracked games now  for files only (no hustle to download a 50 GB Game). And for PS4 Gaming /Pro regular Nino games swapping method (Old with New , Old with Old , Used Games) which greatly reduce the 60-70 USD price tag of each PS 4 /Pro Game.


At the End i donot care about money for my self Entertainment and enjoyment side thus owning both (High End PC Gaming Rig + A Capable Console "like the Pro or Scorpio" is a win win situation.

Enjoy , You Only Live Once  !

I totally agree. Some games deserve to be pirated to send a lesson to the devs. I pirated No Man's Sky and uninstalled it once I saw how stupid the game was. And they expect me to pay 60$ for that nonsense?

Fully agree! It is theft! Getting something for much cheaper (or free) when its "creator" is asking a price for it, is like going to a store and stealing something in your pants! It's exactly the same!
I proudly stopped pirating from like 3 years ago and never looked back! It's so much better to feel the freedom and peace!

Forget piracy, All this huge library of free to play games, and I'm not talking about low quality games (War Thunder, World of tanks, Heroes and Generals), add to that the ability to freely play online without paying 60$ per year! In 2 years 120$ is a price difference of upgrading a graphic card to latest generation (gtx960 to gtx1060 by example), also having Steam with its crazy sales and the ability to use mods that will give you multiple games from a single game (Arma3 Vietnam Mod, WW2 Mod, Survival DayZ mod, Battleroyale Mod, Wasteland Mod, and the list GO ON)

Re: PS4 Pro anyone?

Going a bit off topic here but does anyone have the first-gen PS4? I bought mine the first month it was out and I have the touch buttons and now my PS4 is consistently ejecting discs randomly, when playing games. It is incredibly annoying and has rendered my PS4 basically unusable. I've tried every method to fix it I've found online to no avail.

I hardly call 60$ expensive to be honest.

Plus they offer pretty good free games every month, like the recent Lords Have Fallen, Resident Evil, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture...

I agree! The 60$/year is pretty cheap! It is 5$/month or only 250LL/day for you to play unlimited online and get 2 games (at least) each month! I remember how we used to pay like 1000LL/hour to play Counter strike in a network!

I'm actually surprised how cheap it is! I subscribed to PS+ immediately after I got the ps4!

Re: PS4 Pro anyone?

Got the Pro Today for USD 525 from Khoury Home (Console + Joystick ) with a One Year Warranty (Khoury is a resller of Fattal the Authorized Dealer of Sony Products in Lebanon) which is much better to have an official warranty compared to Nino / Najjar who are giving a 3 months shop warranty !

Got with the 4 K 55 inch HDR TV to enjoy with HDR Awesomeness too on Youtube /Netflex etc.. I consider HDR is the future if you have a chance to see the difference between SDR and HDR you will know what I am talking about - Blacks appear blacks and brights appear naturally bright with a 1.07 billion wide color gamut instead of 16.8 million

. Delivery & Setup will be on Monday with a Movable wall mount. Actually a lot of AAA games has been patching their games to support the added power of the PS4 pro , and upcoming releases will take this advantage . You can find the list on Gamespot:

"Every PS4 Pro Game That Is and Isn't Getting an Upgrade Patch: The PS4 Pro offers 4K resolution, better visuals, and potentially higher frame rate".


http://www.gamespot.com/articles/every- … 0-6443385/


Each Games when with either one mode or different ones but in a Knotshall:

3200 × 1800p /60 or 30 fps upscaled to 4K using checkerboard method.
Native 4K / 60 or 30 fps (Fifa 17 & NBA 2k 17 works at native 4K /60 Fps)
1440p /60 or 30fps upscaled to 4K using checkerboard method.
1080p with an a jump from 30 fps to 60 fps
1080p with Supersampling (rendering at a Higher Resolution and downscaling - Full HD TV sets owner will greatly benefit from that)

Good Tips I knew:   

* In addition to an increase of resolution some games like Last of US & UnCharted 2 supports a wide color gamut /HDR and let the PS4 send an HDR 10bit signal. An HDR capable TV is sure required.

*Other Games , with the addition of Resolition Increased added enhanced textures too.

* Shadow Warrior 2 is the Only PC game currently suppoets HDR (Polaris /Pascal needed for sending a 10 bit HDR Signal) I will try it on the new TV set.

*Gears of War 4 and Froza Horizon 3 ,Ironically , support HDR the Xbox One S and the PC.

*No PC Monitors , even high end PC Gaming, are capable of supporting High Dynamic Range , only SDR.

*4K/60 hz +HDR or 4K/60 hz + HDR + 4 4 4 chroma subsampling increasing the input lag due to additional processing power the TV set is doing. Always read reviews on Rtings.com (Great Technical Website for TV sets reviews)  of the TV Set (that supports HDR)  you are interested In and see what is the input lag in this two modes and if it has an HDR Gaming Mode (Only Samsung has now and Sony with it very expensive Z97 series) The HDR Gaming mode will disable some unwanted background processing and allocate the processing to HDR in order to reduce input lag).

*See how many ports the TV has HDMI 2.0 /HDCP 2.2 that accepts a 10 bit signal - Sales Man donot dive deep - Some tvs has all ports some 1 , some 2.
