  You can use your old USB-A to C cables, it’s not mandatory to use the new cables. For me, they often stay in the box, because all of my chargers already have cables anyway.

  Everything else you said it’s just examples of how other manufacturers still bundle e-waste. This is in no way a counter-argument. I’m not saying companies aren’t assholes, the problem isn’t that they don’t include chargers. The problem is that they exclude chargers and keep the price the same without any significant improvements to the phone itself.

  Vast majority of buyers these days already have chargers, and the bundled charger will only bump the price, only to be chucked into a drawer to stay there forever. If a consumer does need a charger, there are plenty good options on the market with multi-port options.

  Can we please stop complaining about lack of chargers bundled with phones? If the phone is overpriced, then sure, maybe it’s fair, but if the price of the charger is subtracted from the price of the phone, then that’s the right thing to do, the charger can be bought separately if needed. Everybody has like a dozen USB chargers at home, it’s standard now. No need to bundle e-waste.

  Useless without trackpads. I can just use any other controller instead of this.

  Of course, Sony is corporation and doesn’t do things purely to appease consumers. But they also care about their reputation, so getting negative press is damaging to them.
  Unlike with the Helldivers situation, where people could refund, the examples I listed had no direct way of causing financial damage, only reputational one. And it still worked, cause at the end of the day, reputation converts into money.

  Putting personal experiences side, I already provided 2 examples of cases that would’ve affected exclusively console players and they pushed back enough to cause a reversal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony gives up on forcing PlayStation Network for Helldivers 2⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, cause “PC players” are somehow completely different people from those who play on consoles. Literally every person I know personally who plays on PC also has consoles. So the chances are, vast majority of gamers just play games, whatever the platform.

  Sony just sometimes reacts to pushback, like they reversed the decision to remove Discovery content, or how they kept the PS3 and Vita stores running after people complained.

  Stop this gaming elitism.
