Is that the button that does online shit?
If they’re charging for online shit then the button that does online shit is t gonna work unless you paid to have online shit.
I don’t think online shit should be $40 a month like psn is but having a button that does online shit require that you have the online shit subscription to work is a nothingburger.
No it's not. It's a baked-in way to manipulate people into paying for their stupid online. Its mere presence is vile. Easily could have been put inside the home button's menu/UI.
I'm also imagining accidentally hitting it with my palm and getting really annoyed at it pausing my game.
I mean, it'd be nice if it can be remapped.
other consoles have done kinda similar shit with "social" features but this is such a blatant way to trick some kid into setting up a subscription service with their dad's credit card coz they tried closing mariokart and opened up the store page instead
